Note sull'episodio

This episode's title refers to Disney's ongoing project of remaking its animated classics into live action films, and the question of whether those remakes actually change how gender is portrayed. Sophia has been studying this since ninth grade, and this year she applies a quantitative coding framework to Snow White and Beauty and the Beast, comparing their animated and live action versions side by side. Her most surprising finding is that the biggest shift becomes visible only when you stop looking at the princess alone and start looking at how gender is represented across both the prince and the princess together.
