  • The Origins of the Magical Girl Genre Note: This First Chapter Is an Almost
    The origins of the magical girl genre Note: this first chapter is an almost verbatim copy of the excellent introduction from the BESM: Sailor Moon Role-Playing Game and Resource Book by Mark C. MacKinnon et al. I took the liberty of changing a few names according to official translations and contemporary transliterations. It focuses on the traditional magical girls “for girls”, and ignores very very early works like Go Nagai's Cutie Honey, which essentially created a market more oriented towards the male audience; we shall deal with such things in the next chapter. Once upon a time, an American live-action sitcom called Bewitched, came to the Land of the Rising Sun... The magical girl genre has a rather long and important history in Japan. The magical girls of manga and Japanese animation (or anime) are a rather unique group of characters. They defy easy classification, and yet contain elements from many of the best loved fairy tales and children's stories throughout the world. Many countries have imported these stories for their children to enjoy (most notably France, Italy and Spain) but the traditional format of this particular genre of manga and anime still remains mostly unknown to much of the English-speaking world. The very first magical girl seen on television was created about fifty years ago. Mahoutsukai Sally (or “Sally the Witch”) began airing on Japanese television in 1966, in black and white. The first season of the show proved to be so popular that it was renewed for a second year, moving into the era of color television in 1967.

  • Aging with Disney and the Gendering of Evil
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, February 2015, Vol. 5, No. 2, 114-127 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2015.02.004 D DAVID PUBLISHING Aging With Disney and the Gendering of Evil Nada Ramadan Elnahla Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt Walt Disney animated films are considered synonymous with wholesome family entertainment despite the inherent negative messages of gender, age, and power hierarchies behind them. This paper proposes to explore the aspect of age as intersecting with gender through the villainesses in six of Disney’s popular animated films: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Cinderella (1950), Sleeping Beauty (1959), The Little Mermaid (1989), Tangled (2010), and Frozen (2013). How Disney alters the actions of major and minor characters, and the construction of aging female characters and the key characteristics they exhibit during their fight for eternal youth, beauty, and social and political power will be analyzed, attempting to show how Disney is not a harmless substitute for a babysitter for children. Keywords: aging, ageism, feminism, Disney, animated films, villain Introduction In 1923, Walt Disney and his brother Roy pooled their money to set up a cartoon studio in Hollywood: The Disney Brothers’ Studio. It would take Disney 14 years before the first animated feature-length version of Snow White was released. The film’s phenomenal success at the time (earning eight million dollars on its initial release and winning a full-size Oscar statuette and seven miniature ones) signaled the beginning of a golden age of animation and a rising influence of the Disney movies, brand, and theme parks.
