Carmen Fought and Karen Eisenhauer, two linguists who have been studying the Disney princess franchise, have discovered that, in the average "modern" Disney princess movie, male characters have three times as many lines as women in Disney princess movies. Though Snow White has a nearly equal split, Cinderella actually features more women, and Sleeping Beauty gives almost three-fourths of the lines to women. On the other hand, The Little Mermaid has 68% of lines delivered by males, Beauty and the Beast males have 71%, Aladdin males have 90%, Pocahontas males have 76%, and Mulan males have 77%. Fun Fact: Frozen has two heroines, but women still have only 41% of the lines.

The University of Hawaii's Academy for Creative Media will provide every accredited school in Hawaii with copies of the Disney film Moana that have been dubbed in Hawaiian. This is the first Disney film to be dubbed in Hawaiian, and this version stars Auli'i Cravalho along wit local Hawaiian speakers. This dub was made in hopes of spreading the Hawaiian language, which almost went extinct.
