Part 6/13:
A recurring theme is the discrepancy between Disney's claims of championing diversity and the reality of their actions. Despite launching characters like Elena of Avalor, the first Hispanic princess in Disney history—who was portrayed as bilingual, a ruler, and a role model—the character was short-lived, with the show canceled after three seasons with minimal promotion. This pattern indicates that for Disney, representation often seems to be more about ticking boxes than authentic cultural storytelling.
