Highlighting the ecological concerns as projected in Disney Pictures is the prime objective of the paper. The two major ground breaking theoretical concepts Deep ecology and Ecofeminism though are against the institutionalized hierarchies, are found to dilute each other. The Frozen series of Disney Pictures has deviated from the clichéd portrayal of its princess’s and has placed an open gate before the pro-feminist princess. Deep Ecology and Ecofeminism together create a deep impact on the role played by women in restoring nature to its pristine form from being exploited by the materialist society. Archetypal criticism clears the mist enabling women to know the reason behind their instinctual tendency to nurture nature. Both the concepts complement each other and create a divine approach towards nature. Frozen series has created a deep impact on every individual of the society irrespective of their age and gender. The paper supports the theory of coexistence propounded by the Frozen series with theoretical evidences pooled together from different episteme of knowledge like Psychology, Feminism and Ecology. The environmental ethics displayed by mass media to the younger generations has been a phenomenal victory. The Western civilization has steered the wheel of development towards ecological balance and has proved the fact that natural resources once exploited will bring doom’s day to the doorsteps of all the creations existing on this earth. The ecological concepts dealt with in the movies have struck the chord- by explicating complicated ecological theories along with solutions for the ecological crisis through a feminist lens.
