Sleeping Beauty is a film that shows that women are very dainty, helpless without a man and are incomplete until they find love in a masculine, strong prince that they constantly dream of. Almost all Disney films including a princess shows the princess as the damsel in need of a prince to be happy and to rescue them if they are in distress. However, in Tangled, Rapunzel is presented as independent and adventurous and dreams more about discovering the outside world rather than finding true love in a prince.
Friends is a TV series that presents one of it's main characters, Joey, as dumb, inarticulate and somewhat childish but has a handsome exterior so that he is still able to attract women and have a fairly successful job in acting. This is a character that I believe is used to get laughs from the audience rather than showing a grown man as successful and articulate as well as funny like Ross, another main character included within the TV series.
Kung Fu Panda shows Po, the main Panda in the film, as a character that believes he can only find true happiness in becoming the Dragon Warrior and discovering the secret of the Dragon scroll but later realises that that is not quite the key to true happiness. He is clumsy and is not expected to achieve in Kung Fu at first, by the audience and other characters within the film, as he is a fat Panda who had worked in a Noodle restaurant with his father for the entirety of his life so far.
