In the creation of animated movies, the sound system mainly includes three forms: vocals, sound and music. The sound modeling plays an important role in the creation of animated movies to show the plot background, create a three-dimensional audio-visual feeling in the space, and show the connotation of the work.

Also, the sound is visual, and the audience can construct the scene by themselves through the sound in the movie while outlining the characters.

The voice of characters

The vocal styling elements in animated movies are mainly shaped by the characters in the movie. As the smallest element in the sound modeling system of animated movies, the vocal styling mainly completes the shape of related characters from the aspects of pronunciation, intonation, spoken language, and speech speed. While enriching the narrative space of the characters, it creates the aesthetic artistic conception of the animation art space.

The three early Disney princess movies show the princess' gentle and elegant personality traits. The voices are sweet and delicate, and the speaking speed is slower and the voice is smaller.

Snow White was assassinated by the hunter. When Cinderella was blocked by her stepmother and couldn't attend the dance and tore her skirt, she just whispered over and over again: "No, please don't do this."

In "The Legend of the Wind", Pocahonti's voice is relatively low and magnetic. She speaks slowly, her tone is small, and her voice is calm but not loses a sense of power. Just as she persuaded both sides with her calm voice when facing interracial wars, highlighting her calm and calm personality traits of taking the overall situation into consideration.

Compared with the sweetness and tenderness of female voices under traditional male gaze, Pocahonti's voice highlights the sense of power from the inside out. There is a clear difference in the voices of the two heroines in " Frozen ". As an older sister and a queen, Aisha 's voice is lower than that of her younger sister Aina . She speaks slowly and has little tone. This is in line with Queen Aisha's calm personality traits, but she will giggle when she is with her sister, teasing the other person with playful words, showing a female diverse personality; while her younger sister Anna's voice is sweeter and speaks fast. She often speaks a series of words at a faster speed in movies.

For example, when Anna brought the prince of her neighboring country to Aisha and told her that they were about to get married, Anna quickly and continuously told her wedding matters and plans for her married life. Her sister wanted to ask questions and express her objections several times and was ignored by Anna. She did not give her sister the opportunity to interrupt and express her opinions, reflecting the impatient, innocent and romantic side of Anna.

At this time, the Disney princess movie shows multiple personality traits in the individual, and the female image is more diverse and closer to the real female image.

music animation

The important element that cannot be ignored in movie creation is music. Whether it is the content, rhythm or lyrics of the music, it can set off the environment and scene emotions and bring it into the situation, and at the same time reflect the psychology of the characters and show the character's personality. The application of musical styling elements in animated movies is sometimes reflected in the same rhythmic process as the animation process, and sometimes it is also reflected in the antonym of narrative processing in animated movies.

Basic elements of music: pitch, length, strength, tone and structure: rhythm, beat, interval, mode, tone, etc. all have the functions of narrative, descriptive and lyrical in the movie.

4 Disney princess animations have musical clips, which plays an important role in building the image of the heroine.

"Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" begins with a clip of Snow White cleaning the castle. At this time, Snow White was singing, her voice was sweet and soft, her rhythm was soothing and gentle. The whole song had no high notes and was strong and weak. Even though she was in a difficult situation and was oppressed by her stepmother, she still maintained an optimistic attitude.

Similarly, "Cinderella" also starts the movie in music. Cinderella sings after waking up in the morning, with a soft voice and a cheerful rhythm. Both songs show the gentle and ladylike images of princesses, and at the same time they also reflect their optimism in the face of the oppressed status quo.

In "Little Mermaid", Ariel 's first singing was when she had disputes and conflicts with her father about whether she should surface to explore the human world. The music initially stretched long, with more long notes, and a slow rhythm, expressing the sorrow of not being understood and supported by her father. However, as Ariel gradually swam towards the water, the rhythm of the music gradually accelerated and the pitch rose. The sound was strong and strengthened, presenting a sense of power.

The changes in the music here also imply that Ariel's determination to no longer be subject to her father's authority, and to enter the human world, completing her first growth and transformation of herself.

In "Mulan", Mulan's training process in the military camp is displayed through a music animation. This section of music is sung by a male voice. The drum sounds are obvious, the rhythm is fast, the beat is obvious, and the sense of power is strong. It shows the transformation of Mulan and other soldiers from recruits to being able to deal with the war, reflecting the hardships, and implies that Mulan will eventually participate in the male field.

The lyrics in it "Be a man", which directly points out that Mulan's gender identity has been replaced by a man during training. At this time, Mulan was resolute and brave.

"Frozen" theme song is one of the most successful music tracks in the Disney animation movie. This song was sung when Queen Elsa couldn't control her magic and fled to the mountains after she threw the country into ice and snow. The rhythm of

starts with a slow rhythm and a low voice, which implies Aisha's helplessness towards herself and the guilt of putting the country into disaster. However, after that, the rhythm of the music gradually became lighter, the song was long and contained a lot of high notes, and the singer's voice was full of power. This was Aisha's release of herself, determined to ignore the outside world's eyes and views. At the end of the song, the high notes suddenly closed and the sentence "The cold will not disturb me again", with disdain and playfulness in her voice. It was also in this song that Aisha completed her transformation. She decided to become an independent individual and not be trapped in the remarks of her father and others.

Disney Princess series of animation movies often use music as an important narrative method. While music narrative, it also completes the growth and final transformation of the protagonist, outlines the soul of the characters, and completes the deepening of the theme of the movie.
