Sorry if this question has been asked before.

I'm fine with it, but I don't really care either way.

Disney has been focusing too much on girls. Boys need role models too, even more so in our society of bad and disappearing father figures that is the biggest cause of boys ending up in jail, turning to drugs or harming themselves. That sounds a little extreme maybe, but I'm just very worried for boys because nobody seems to care about them nearly as much as girls and they suffer for it. The very least we could do is give them some good fictional men to look up to.

Yes please

Audry: Boys have PLENTY of role models. All across the board. The vast majority of all of fiction has not only male leads, but mostly male characters. (Mythology, fairy tales, folk stories, most novels written over the centuries, Hollywood movies, video games, etc.) Tropes like the Smurfette Principle and the Bechdel Test exist for a reason, because most fiction has no problem with male presence and male characters having conversations with each other about something other than women, whereas you'd be very hard-pressed to find fiction with more than two named, relevant female characters (usually one gal on the good guys' side and one gal on the villain's side, like Snow White and the Evil Queen in SWatSD), and most of them don't actually talk to each other, let alone talk to each other about something other than the male characters in the story.

Heck, most Disney movies made since Walt was alive have male leads. Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi, Pongo, Arthur, Mowgli, Robin Hood, Pooh, Todd and Copper, Basil of Bakerstreet, Oliver, Aladdin, Simba, Quasimodo, Hercules, Tarzan, Jim Hawkins, Emperor Kuzco, Milo Thatch, Brother Bear, Meet the Robinsons, Wreck-It-Ralph, etc.

Are they not good role models?

I'm glad Disney has been focusing around girls recently because girls need role models. (Then again, Disney has over-compensated the recent female leads by making the rest of the film pander to boys.) Girls need female presence in the stories they consume. Boys already have so many.

Sure! I like seeing equality!

Maybe a few more :)

Sure! I'm kind of hoping Giants revolves more around "the prince" (Jack) because we've had a lot of princess-revolved movies. It would be a nice change of pace. :)

Villains are also vastly male. And simply having male characters isn't the same as having role models (if it did the point would still stand because there's almost more heroines than heroes now; not to mention almost all heroines were intended to be role models but few heroes in comparison were), which girls are pretty privileged to have in overabundance: Disney princesses, Sailor Moon, MLP, Monster high, The Powerpuff Girls. Romance and teen lit is dominated by heroines intended to be role models- Elizabeth Bennet (along with nearly every Austen girl created), Jo March, Jane Eyre, Scarlett O'Hara, Melanie Wilkes, Scout Finch, Katniss is better than the boys at nearly everything, Hermione is smarter in every way than Ron and Harry except Quidditch, which is fine since that's what we have the smarter, cooler, funnier, superior Ginny for. Leia kicks more butt than the guys. All Meg Cabot heroines are all intelligent, capable feminists. See where I'm going?

Boys have nothing that comes to mind for good male characters intended to be role models. Why is there no Disney Heroes line? Why are the only guys available villains, bumbling idiot dads whose smarter wives have to do everything for them (cough BRAVE), violent video games heroes or superheroes who are impossible to emulate? I mean, boys are taught to like Spiderman cause he's cool, not because of the idea that there's nothing wrong with being an unpopular nerd. Not to mention, they're always shamed for being too masculine and aggressive or not enough. And nobody cares how poorly males are portrayed, but Lord help you if you don't portray women exactly how everyone wants.

Maybe some actual boys could throw their two cents in here?

Completely agree with tygers eye. There are PLENTY of movies for boys and very few outside of disney with girl leads
