Figures like Kate Ferdinand , Stacey Solomon and Frankie Bridge are helping to break the 'wicked stepmother' stereotype.

Study of 800 single mothers found negative stereotypes deterred 43% from dating.

Study involved analysis of 40 English films and TV shows featuring a stepmother.

Two-thirds of them reinforced negative stereotypes, with stepmothers most frequently depicted as bossy, strict, neglectful, heartless and manipulative.

Some animated films have used over 50,000 individual drawings.

Animation drawings go to the inking department, where they are printed on celluloid acetate.

Backgrounds are then added to the story and the frames can be combined and dialogue added.

Walt Disney released his first feature length film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, in 1937 .
