Walt Disney Pictures has blazed the trail in the area of brilliant animated movies that can be enjoyed by children as well as the accompanying parents (the Toy Story movies, Tarzan, Aladdin), but its live-action films traditionally have failed to duplicate that magic. 102 Dalmatians, for example, is so dumb- ed down not only from the 1961 animated classic but even wards dogs in the first movie, but is let out on probation from the charmless 1996 live-action version, that it will delight thanks to a new therapy that has made her love dogs JHer pro- only the youngest of children. bation officer (Evans) owns several dalmatians and is highly That is where marketing comes in, and Disney's lavish suspicious of Cruella's investment in a dilapidated dogs' home campaign for this lame sequel-cum-remake should — unde- run by a kindly dog lover (Gruffudd). servedly — score a resounding hit at the box office worldwide.

  • Animated Stereotypes –
    Animated Stereotypes – An Analysis of Disney’s Contemporary Portrayals of Race and Ethnicity Alexander Lindgren, 36761 Pro gradu-avhandling i engelska språket och litteraturen Handledare: Jason Finch Fakulteten för humaniora, psykologi och teologi Åbo Akademi 2020 ÅBO AKADEMI – FACULTY OF ARTS, PSYCHOLOGY AND THEOLOGY Abstract for Master’s Thesis Subject: English Language and Literature Author: Alexander Lindgren Title: Animated Stereotypes – An Analysis of Disney’s Contemporary Portrayals of Race and Ethnicity Supervisor: Jason Finch Abstract: Walt Disney Animation Studios is currently one of the world’s largest producers of animated content aimed at children. However, while Disney often has been associated with themes such as childhood, magic, and innocence, many of the company’s animated films have simultaneously been criticized for their offensive and quite problematic take on race and ethnicity, as well their heavy reliance on cultural stereotypes. This study aims to evaluate Disney’s portrayals of racial and ethnic minorities, as well as determine whether or not the nature of the company’s portrayals have become more culturally sensitive with time. To accomplish this, seven animated feature films produced by Disney were analyzed. These analyses are of a qualitative nature, with a focus on imagology and postcolonial literary theory, and the results have simultaneously been compared to corresponding criticism and analyses by other authors and scholars. Based on the overall results of the analyses, it does seem as if Disney is becoming more progressive and culturally sensitive with time. However, while most of the recent films are free from the clearly racist elements found in the company’s earlier productions, it is quite evident that Disney still tends to rely heavily on certain cultural stereotypes.

  • Determinants of Motion Picture Box Office and Profitability: An
    RMS (2007) 1:65-92 DOI 10.1007/s11846-007-0003-9 ORIGINAL PAPER Determinants of motion picture box office and profitability: an interrelationship approach Thorsten Hennig-Thurau Æ Mark B. Houston Æ Gianfranco Walsh Received: 13 October 2006 / Accepted: 11 December 2006 / Published online: 27 March 2007 Ó Springer-Verlag 2007 Abstract Introduction Producing and marketing motion pictures is notoriously risky, with only three out of ten movies breaking even and one becoming profitable at the box office. Extending knowledge on the factors that influence a movie’s box-office and on the interrelations between these factors can be seen as major contribution to aid in lowering the number of failures in the motion picture industry. The major aim of this study is to distinguish direct and indirect effects between potential success drivers and motion picture success by understanding the interrelationships among different determinants of movie success. Methods Hypotheses are developed with regard to the relationships among a number of factors that have been shown to impact motion-picture box office as well as movie profitability. Applying path analysis, which allows a simultaneous testing of factor interrelations, the hypotheses are subsequently tested against a sample of 331 movies. Results and conclusion The factors considered in the analysis explain a remarkable amount of a movie’s success. The findings improve the movie industry’s understanding of motion picture success because for the first time interrelationships between the var- ious factors are considered, which enables the separation of direct and indirect (i.e., Communicated by Ralf Ewert.

  • Exploiting Semantic Web Knowledge Graphs in Data Mining
    Exploiting Semantic Web Knowledge Graphs in Data Mining Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften der Universit¨atMannheim presented by Petar Ristoski Mannheim, 2017 ii Dekan: Dr. Bernd Lübcke, Universität Mannheim Referent: Professor Dr. Heiko Paulheim, Universität Mannheim Korreferent: Professor Dr. Simone Paolo Ponzetto, Universität Mannheim Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 15 Januar 2018 Abstract Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) is a research field concerned with deriving higher-level insights from data. The tasks performed in that field are knowledge intensive and can often benefit from using additional knowledge from various sources. Therefore, many approaches have been proposed in this area that combine Semantic Web data with the data mining and knowledge discovery process. Semantic Web knowledge graphs are a backbone of many in- formation systems that require access to structured knowledge. Such knowledge graphs contain factual knowledge about real word entities and the relations be- tween them, which can be utilized in various natural language processing, infor- mation retrieval, and any data mining applications. Following the principles of the Semantic Web, Semantic Web knowledge graphs are publicly available as Linked Open Data. Linked Open Data is an open, interlinked collection of datasets in machine-interpretable form, covering most of the real world domains. In this thesis, we investigate the hypothesis if Semantic Web knowledge graphs can be exploited as background knowledge in different steps of the knowledge discovery process, and different data mining tasks. More precisely, we aim to show that Semantic Web knowledge graphs can be utilized for generating valuable data mining features that can be used in various data mining tasks.
