Many of the films listed were made in a time when filmmakers had to refrain from including curse words, exploitive sexuality or desensitizing violence. To younger members of the family, that means, these films are old! Understandably, a younger generation will not relate to styles and mannerisms of a time gone by, but here is something to keep in mind. Though haircuts change and clothing tightens, people all desire to be warm, to be fed, to be loved, to be respected, etc. In other words, we share a commonality with those of all generations. We’re really not all that different from one another. The following movies will entertain because they contain the most special special effect of all: great storytelling.

Isenberg, Department of History Peter Lavelle, Department of History ABSTRACT Throughout mu ch of the twentieth century Walt Disney wielded considerable influenceA in merican cul ture. By identifying and commercially exploiting a strain of environmental thought that sentimentalized and romanticized nature, Walt Disney influenced the attitudes of millions of Americans concerning how they conceptualized environmental issues. The Walt Disney Company’s nature documentaries and their popularity as both entertainment as well as educational material helped disseminate the virtues of conservation withinA the merican mindset. The Disney interpretation of conservatiosn cla hed w ith other post-war environmental understandings of the ethic, as did the company’s cons istently inacc urate representations of nature on film. Disney’s particular strain of environmentalism, based on an Edenic appreciation for nature, the belief that to co nserve land it must be developed, and practice of moralizing to humans through anth ropomorphized depictions of animal behavior, st ood out in contrast to other existing post-war environmental mindsets during the controversy surrounded the proposed construction of a vacation resort in Mineral King, California, following

  • Cultural Appropriation and Cultural Discount
    sustainability Article The Creation and Operation Strategy of Disney’s Mulan: Cultural Appropriation and Cultural Discount Rui Chen 1 , Zhiyi Chen 1 and Yongzhong Yang 2,* 1 Department of Cultural Industry Management, School of Literature, Journalism and Communication, Xihua University, Chengdu 610039, China; [email protected] (R.C.); [email protected] (Z.C.) 2 School of Business, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610065, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to explore Disney Mulan’s cultural appropriation strategy and the cultural discount phenomenon formed in the Chinese market from the perspective of users and discuss the creation and operation strategy of the film. In 2020, Disney released a new film that originated in China, Mulan, but received negative reviews from the Chinese consumer market. Taking this as an example, this paper uses NVivo and ROSTCM to conduct content-coding and text analysis on creators’ interview records and consumer comments and seeks for the differences in understanding between Chinese audiences and creative teams. The results show that cultural appropriation is an effective strategy for film creation, but cultural appropriation based on misinterpretation will lead to cultural discounts in the operation of films. Therefore, corresponding strategies during film creation and operation should be adopted to better realize the sustainable development of culture.
