Female characters have evolved from princesses in need of saving to the spirited individuals that take on challenges head first. From gowns and white horses to crowns and armours, they have taken breaking stereotypes a notch higher by showcasing how far they can really go. Whether it`s Elsa taking over the reins as Queen in Frozen or Raya’s epic adventure to restore peace and calm in her land of Kumandra in soon-to-release Raya and The Last Dragon, there are several such female characters in animated films who inspire and empower. Here’s a list of 5 such characters who deliver strong messages, and teach the younger generation to take charge.
Raya in `Raya and the Last Dragon`
`Raya and The Last Dragon` takes us on an exciting and inspiring journey of a princess who fights evil to save her loved ones. With strong grit and determination, Raya rose for her people to find the last dragon in order to save the fantasy world of Kumandra. Having grown up to be a resilient warrior, she shattered the idea that only a son can be a successor. With wit as sharp as her blade, this lone warrior comes with strength and compassion the land needs. Golden Globe-winning actress, writer and producer Awkwafina, who has voiced the Sisu dragon in the movie, said she is elated to be a part of Raya and The Last Dragon as the strong female character in the film will empower women just as other animated characters have been inspiring audiences over generations.
