A big thank you also to my parents Pamela and Peter in introducing me to Disney films as a child and fully encouraging me to pursue my dreams. 3 Synopsis The work of Walt Disney studios has become an important influence in animation history, helping to mould the way we observe everyday life through image and music. These films are so iconic and memorable they have the power to influence their audience. Disney films have been known to portray gendered and sexual identities in problematic ways; often presenting the male protagonist as the hero and the women as helpless frail figures. However, there is inadequate research into the music of these films, and this thesis will investigate the role of the score and soundtrack observing the songs and underscore of a variety of Disney films between 1937 to 2010. Case studies are grouped thematically around three significant and recurring stereotypes of women that occur: the virtuous wife, the fallen woman and maternal and motherly figures. Music and image are shown to be crucial elements in the way Disney’s Hollywood animations represent women, with elements of coding and stereotyping as key features in the writing. Music has the power to influence and to cause viewers to feel empathy towards the on screen characters; without music the image would not successfully bring its messages across. Furthermore, techniques used in film throughout history have been developed through models in order for animated films to appear realistic and trustworthy. The voice is also a largely influential factor in the writing for a Hollywood score, with the notion that women are silenced and men are the dominant opposition to continuously control the situation. The following films are examined in the thesis: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (p. Disney, c. Churchill, Harline, Smith, 1937), Pinocchio (p. Disney, c. Harline, Smith, 1940),Dumbo (p. Disney, c. Churchill, Husher, Wallace, 1941), Sleeping Beauty (p. Disney, c. Adar, Bruns, Lawrence, 1959), 101 Dalmations (p. Disney, c. Bruns, Leven, 1961), The Little Mermaid (p. Disney, c. Ashman, Menken, 1989), Beauty and the Beast (p. Disney, c. Ashman, Menken, 1991),Pocahontas (p. Disney, c. Menken, 1995), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (p. Disney, c. Menken, 1996), Hercules (p. Disney, c. Menken, 1997), Mulan (p. Disney, c. Goldsmith, 1998), Tarzan (p. Disney, c. Collins, 1999), Tangled (p. Disney, c. Menken, 2010). 4 Contents Dedication ............................................................................................................................................... 3 Synopsis .................................................................................................................................................. 4 Contents .................................................................................................................................................. 5 Table of Figures ....................................................................................................................................... 7 Chapter 1: Introduction ........................................................................................................................ 12 Chapter 2: Music in Film ....................................................................................................................... 15 How Film and Music Combined ........................................................................................................ 15 Film Music as Emotional Stimulus .................................................................................................... 16 Theorising Early Film Music: Issues of Practicality and Purpose....................................................... 17 Music and Meaning: Semiotics and Leitmotifs ................................................................................. 18 Manipulation and Influence in Film .................................................................................................. 21 Chapter 3: Gender and Film Sound ....................................................................................................... 24 Women’s Limitations Within Film ..................................................................................................... 24 Women Portrayed as ‘Too Emotional’ .............................................................................................. 26 Speechless Women: On Screen and Off ........................................................................................... 27 Coding & Gender ............................................................................................................................... 29 Gender Issues linked to the Voice..................................................................................................... 32 Woman’s Voice in Sound Media ....................................................................................................... 33 Voice, Lyrics, Singing: Gender in the Musicals .................................................................................. 34 Chapter 4: Animation ............................................................................................................................ 38 Disney: Enhancing Animation and its Issues ..................................................................................... 40 Chapter 5: The Virtuous Wife ............................................................................................................... 43 Silent Women: Ariel & Aurora .......................................................................................................... 43 Women with Dreams, Men in Control: Snow White & Rapunzel ..................................................... 48 Feminist Strong Women: Mulan & Pocahontas................................................................................ 55 Chapter 6: The Femme Fatale ............................................................................................................... 66 Villains with Drag Queen/Cabaret: Ursula, Mother Gothel, Cruella & Evil Queen ........................... 67 Sexual Women: Esmerelda & Megara .............................................................................................. 77 Chapter 7: The Maternal & Motherly Figure ........................................................................................ 82 Maternal Unconditional Loving Parents: Jumbo & Kala ................................................................... 83 Wise Women: Mrs Potts, Grandmother Willow & The Blue Fairy.................................................... 87 5 Controlling Mother: Fa Li .................................................................................................................

  • THE ANCESTORS: the Ancestors Need to Be Strong Actor/Singers That Can Carry Solo Work
    THE ANCESTORS: The Ancestors need to be strong actor/singers that can carry solo work. There are five ancestors: LAOZI (pronounced LAU-tsi) represents Honor and is the leader of the group. LIN represents Loyalty and is the hardest on Mulan; Lin does not appreciate any challenges to the oldworld belief system. ZHANG (ZANG) represents Strength, the strong silent type. HONG represents Destiny and is Laozi's right-hand man. YUN (YOON) represents Love and is Mulan's greatest advocate from the beginning – the mother figure that eventually encourages the others to support Mulan for who she is. All Ancestors may be cast as either male or female. Vocal Range: A3 – D5. Audition song: “Honor to Us All Part 2”. FA ZHOU (fa zoo): Mulan's father, requires a confident and calm performer who has a strong presence and can sing, at least a little. Without playing "older," his calm strength contrasts with Mulan's frenetic energy at the top of the show. Sings a brief solo. Vocal Range: C4 – D5. Audition song: Choose from any of the audition songs. FA LI: Mulan's mother, is someone who also possesses strength but understands her place in her generation and culture. There is a definite wisdom that she passes on to Mulan. Vocal Range: C4 – D5. Audition song: “Honor to Us All Part 2” or any of the other songs on the audition list. GRANDMOTHER FA: Grandmother sees greatness in Mulan, but still wants her to achieve it through tradition. Although she does not need to be a strong singer, an actor with mischief in her eye will work well here.

  • 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.

  • 2019 Breeze Show Choir Catalog
    Previously Arranged Titles (updated 3/6/19) Specific details about each arrangement (including audio samples) are available at https://breezetunes.com . The cost for each is $300 ($200 if using rhythm section only). The use of any of these arrangements requires a valid custom arrangement license purchased from https://tresonamusic.com . Their licensing fees typically range from $180 to $280 per song and must be paid before you can receive your music. Copyright approval frequently takes 4-6 weeks, sometimes longer, so plan accordingly. If changes to the arrangement are desired, there is an additional fee of $100. Examples of this include re-voicing (such as from SATB to another voice part), rewriting band parts, making cuts, adding an additional verse, etc. **Arrangements may be transposed into a different key free of charge, provided that the change does not make re-voicing necessary** To place an order, please e-mail [email protected] . Tips for success using Previously Arranged Titles: • Most arrangements can be made to work in any voicing, so don’t be afraid to look at titles written for other combinations of voices than what you have. Voice parts can also be reduced or simplified for smaller ensembles. • Adjustments often need to be made if you want to use a previously arranged title in a different show function than it was originally intended. This is especially true of arrangements written as a costume change or a transition number. I am more than happy to consult and make sure a previously arranged title fits with your show design. • Please communicate with me if your band instrumentation changes dramatically during the season, especially when it comes to horn players.

  • Discourse Analysis of Ethical Challenges in Mulan Disney Princess Movie
    IMPACT: International Journal of Research in Humanities, Arts and Literature (IMPACT: IJRHAL) ISSN (P): 2347-4564; ISSN (E): 2321-8878 Vol. 7, Issue 1, Jan 2019, 431-442 © Impact Journals DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF ETHICAL CHALLENGES IN MULAN DISNEY PRINCESS MOVIE Farah Abdul-Jabbar Almnaseer 1 & Kawther Adnan Saleh 2 1Senior Assistant Professor, Department of English Language and Literature, Al-Mustansiriyah University, Baghdad, Iraq 2Researcher, Department of English Language and Literature, Al-Mustansiriyah University, Baghdad, Iraq Received: 10 Jan 2019 Accepted: 28 Jan 2019 Published: 31 Jan 2019 ABSTRACT Movies are one of the most favorable types of media which play a great role in shaping our daily lives. Also, they hold a huge impact on both children and adult in the whole word. Due to this importance, the present study shades the light on Mulan (1998) Disney princess animated movie which is highly seen by the audience. It seeks to analyze the verses of one of the movie's songs which is entitled " you'll bring honor to us all ". The article tends to analyze the types and the frequency of the different categories of lexical cohesion. For this purpose, Tanskanen's (2006) model of lexical cohesion is adopted for the analysis. The analysis revealed 42 lexical cohesive devices. The article reaches the conclusions that simple repetition is highly used among the other types and especially the repetition of the pronoun "you" in order to indicate that the honor of Mulan's family is based on her, since their cultural norms force the girl to be like " a perfect porcelain doll " in order to impress men and this in return will bring honor to the family.

  • Writing Titles by Amelia Keller Titles Are an Often Under Utilized Tool in Student Writing
    UCONN Hartford Writing Center UG Building, Room 303 W (860) 570-9237 / [email protected] Writing Titles by Amelia Keller Titles are an often under utilized tool in student writing. But think about it…if introductions are important because they are the first part of the paper your reader will read, then titles are similarly important because they precede even the introduction. Think about the times when, based primarily on an interesting title, you have decided to read a book, to skim an article, or to follow an online link. That is the power of titles. They let readers know what they will be reading before they have read a word of the actual text. Would you read an article if you had no idea what it was going to be about? Probably not. What titles do… At minimum, titles should reflect paper content (i.e. what the paper’s general topic will be, like an analysis on The Scarlet Letter or exploration of global warming). A strong title will prepare the reader for the paper, giving the reader some idea of what the paper’s argument or slant will be (i.e. What will you be saying about The Scarlet Letter? What position are you taking on global warming?). At best, a title will also be creative and attention grabbing. Titles should… 1) Give your reader a clear idea of what they are about to read. 2) Catch your reader’s attention. The first requirement is essential. The second is helpful, but not as important. It is always good to get a reader interested and invested in the essay early on.
