Disney movies and "famous" Disney characters emphasize masculine hegemony. Disney characters are considered celebrity not only in the United States but throughout the world. They portray men as aggressive, strong, driven, ambitious, emotionless, self-reliant, and heterosexual. In almost every Disney movie portrays men this way, teaching young children that this is the way men should look like and act. Perhaps the most obvious portrayal of masculine hegemony in Disney movies is through Gaston in The Beauty and the Beast.
