Girls Win Big with Disney’s #DreamBigPrincess & You

Just in time for #InternationalDayOfTheGirl, Disney launches a next level #DreamBigPrincess project. The House of Mouse has partnered with the United Nations Foundation’s Girl Up Initiative to bring us stories of innovative women told by an international cadre of young filmmakers. Girls Can Do Anything The program challenged 21 Girl Up members to produce and shoot short films featuring female juggernauts from a host of industries. With mentorship provided by Disney, Apple, and the female-led production company Summerjax, each young woman created a short film shot with an iPhone X and edited with Final Cut Pro X on MacBook Pros. Look, Apple was really all-in. Respect.

This builds on Disney and Girl Up’s previous pair-up for Global Photography which raised $1 million for the Initiative in less than five days. And it’s part of Disney’s greater Dream Big, Princess campaign which encourages kids and adults to match the best traits of their favorite Disney heroines. Whether that’s Tiana’s perseverance or Cinderella’s kindness, Dream Big, Princess pulls out traits and moments that we may overlook while gushing over beautiful gowns and happy endings.

Having a big dream is the first step on the path to success, and positive role models are critical in helping you continue on that journey – whether that’s a fictional entrepreneur like Tiana or a real-world success story like any of the women in this series.
