Recently, Hollywood's studios made some adjustments to Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid When these fairy tales were produced for the big screen so that the films would better conform with current feminist thinking. In Beauty and the Beast, departing her former meek and submissive image, the character Beauty was depicted as an intelligent, independent, and headstrong woman who liked to read.
前不久，美國好萊塢片廠推出的「美女與野獸」與「小美人魚」等電影，均將原來的童話故事做了部分修正，以期更符合當今流行的女性主義思潮，如「美女」片中的美女，被塑造成一位愛讀書、個性獨立、有主見、有智慧的女性，有別於以往的柔弱、服從。
