Abstract

[This chapter looks at young female redheads, but the media of typology is Disney’s and Pixar’s film animation. Resisting the past few centuries’ didactic literature that inculcated young girls to develop into angel-in-the-house types, several Disney films defy such an ideology but does so only through heroines who are redheads. This chapter investigates the transformation from passive femininity to active, rebellious heroines but considers where Ariel’s disobedient acts falter in their sense of achievement while the wild Celtic nature of Merida—with the scraggly, disobedient, and unique hair—succeeds.]
