and you was right 9 months ago kkkkkkkkk best movie

First, sorry for the delay in answering this, GlassSlipper.

I don’t think boys lack of interest in Disney princess films has much to do with Disney per say, but maybe a little more with society in general. There seems to be a bit more of a dividing line between what boys “should” see and what girls “should” see. There are gender neutral movies and entertainment, but for the most part, I think boys are expected to be boy-ish and shun all things girl.

For that reason, there might be in initial reluctance of boys/teenagers to see a princess Disney movie. So, Disney, knowing this, has to pivot and change their marketing. They make it seem more “boy”/cool/adventurous, so they can try it out and get in the theatre. Then ultimately, the movie really is just a princess fairy tale, but by that point, the boys are hooked and actually really like it. IDK, I could be completely making this up, but I guess it’s one way to look at it.

Tangled, for example, was marketed more gender neutral and definitely focused on Flynn to get the boys in the seats. And guess what? It worked! But more than that, the story was so fantastic, that I know SO many guys who LOVE Tangled and will gladly watch it. So, Tangled really was a success because Disney was able to make the movie they wanted (i.e. princess themed) and were still able to convince guys to watch it.

I don’t think Disney is purposely trying to alienate its female fans; I just think it’s in a really hard place. It knows that the girls will see it anyway; boys, not so much, so it has to try harder with them. So it comes off being a bit anti-girl, when it probably isn’t.

I also mentioned this in another comment, but Disney knows that ultimately it is the female crowd who will carry this new franchise way past the release date in theatres. The girls will buy the merchandise, the costumes, etc. They will get LOTS of promotion and attention (honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Disney stopped focusing on the males after it hit theatres) and then all attention from here on out goes to the girls.

So it’s a win for girls in the long run really. Boys get the immediate, short-term attention, but the girls are the real winners.

THANK YOU!
