Abstract

Disney cartoons often project culture and content through the characters in the story, in which those projections are obtainable from the setting of the characters‟ backgrounds and the characters of the occurring culture in that period, for example races, genders, languages. The formats of the characters in the early period can be defined as „Flat Characters‟ and evolved to „Round Characters‟ in the later generation. The content materials can be distinguished into 3 periods; the first period featured the pressure in enclosing women for them to stay at home, the second period started to allow women to have the courage to be different but still emphasizes the importance of their love for men, in the current period the contents are more geared towards empowering women and creating new concepts for females. The animation movie „Frozen‟ presents 2 generations in which the older generation is born under the society‟s pressure and expectations, whereas in the later generation have more freedom in their expression, continuously seeks for new things, and other than that possessing a stronger approach in relationships and only sees from their own perception by using Anna as the representation of women in the later generation. The relationship between female siblings is a more complex relationship when compared to the male sibling‟s relationship. The older and younger sisters bond occurs with the form of love and dissatisfaction at the same time, that is the underlying difficulty in communication which is the main subject of issue happening in this story. The condition of the female gender is that they create their own identity but at the same time wanting to fit in the frames of society, causing the females to have higher conflict in identity than the male gender. This research illustrates that this animation film does not focus on creating more „ideal images‟ for women but emphasizes in empowering the audience to have the courage to do things differently to the social expectations as well as having the courage to reveal their true selfidentity which in this case no longer relates to any specific gender and instead incorporates the idea of the third gender into the story.
