Disney Studios' latest animated feature “Raya and the Last Dragon” is following in the long tradition of Disney princesses, but continues the trend of moving the princess into the role of hero rather than a love-lorn damsel to be rescued.

Going back to its first animated feature, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” Disney has been big on fairy tale princesses, but over the decades they eventually ran out of fairy tales to pull from and started looking elsewhere.
