Abstract

Films reflect human social life, meet people's spiritual needs, and are closely related to human social life. The same is true of animated films. Judging from the animated films released in China in recent years, "White Snake 2: the robbery of the green snake" is a fantastic and magnificent new story in the new era, endowing Chinese animation with a new soul and unique artistic charm. This paper takes the heroine Xiao Qing in the Chinese animation White Snake 2: the robbery of the green snake as the research object, and discusses the self-growth of the heroine Xiao Qing in white snake 2 from feminism. Although the film has many deficiencies in script design, script rhythm and characterization. However, the true and sincere independent female characters expressed in the film urge people to think in multiple ways. That is, how women can grow under the influence of feminism. Moreover, not only the self growth path of Xiaoqing discussed in this paper, the help of other female characters to Xiaoqing on the growth path of Xiaoqing, the growth of other characters themselves, and the direct and sincere sisterhood of green snake and white snake will cause extensive discussion and bring moving tears. In short, the changing female roles in animated films reflect women's right to live and strive for social equality and justice, fully reflect the progress of society and the continuous change of people's consciousness, and are conducive to the improvement of social civilization.
