Ahh Disney. Disney has a HUGE impact in influencing the lives of children (girls especially). The majority of Disney movies have leading ladies who are princesses. At some point, a man is needed to "save" them and they usually end up happily ever after. Or, in the case of Cinderella, she can't get her man until she gets help from her fairy godmother who makes her aesthetically beautiful to capture the heart of the prince. Either way, the objective in many of these movies is to get the man. Disney helps to retell the binary by using the preparation mechanism. They feed young girls the idea that the love of a man is central to happiness, once that is achieved, their life will be perfect (a fairytale).
