Ralph’s Motivation for Obtaining a Medal in Jennifer Lee’s Wreck-It Ralph. Yogyakarta: Department of English Letters, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Sanata Dharma. Wreck-It Ralph is a Disney movie about Ralph who is a villain in an arcade video game called Fix-it Felix. The story begins when Ralph is “going Turbo”. “Going Turbo” means doing illegal action by jumping into other arcade game to do a certain purpose. In the movie, Ralph is “going Turbo” in order to obtain a medal. This motivation for obtaining a medal appears because of the conflicts he experiences. Seen from the psychological perspective, this motivation is the attempt to fulfill the needs. There are three objectives in order to conduct the analysis. The first is to describe the characterization of Ralph and the conflicts he experiences. The second is to find the ways how the conflicts experienced by Ralph influence his motivation for obtaining a medal. The third is to reveal the needs Ralph tries to fulfill in his motivation for obtaining a medal as seen from Abraham H. Maslow‘s Hierarchy of Needs. Psychological approach is used since it studies the motivation of a character. Library research method is applied in this study. The main data were collected from the movie Wreck-It Ralph (2012) and its movie script which was written by Jennifer Lee. Articles in books and internet are also used to support the analysis. There are four theories applied; theory of character and characterization, theory of conflict, theory of motivation, and theory of needs by Abraham H. Maslow. Ralph has characteristics such as strong, humble, generous, and loyal and he experiences two kinds of conflicts; internal and external conflict. The internal conflict is the clash between his idea of being a bad guy because of his destiny and his idea of being a good guy. While the external conflict is the clash between the way Ralph regards people who have the destiny as villains and the way the Nicelanders’ regard people who have the destiny as villains. These conflicts lead to the appearance of the things that trigger Ralph’s motivation for obtaining a medal; intrinsic and extrinsic. His intrinsic motivation is self-discovery and his extrinsic motivations are getting rid of loneliness and tearing down the Nicelander’s doctrine toward villains. According to Abraham H. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Ralph’s motivation appears because he has the urge to fulfill safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization need. Key words: motivation, conflict, hierarchy of needs, Disney xiii PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI ABSTRAK MUFASA, LUCAS ARNANRA GALANG. (2020).

    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.

  • Masculinity in Children's Film
    Masculinity in Children’s Film The Academy Award Winners Author: Natalie Kauklija Supervisor: Mariah Larsson Examiner: Tommy Gustafsson Spring 2018 Film Studies Bachelor Thesis Course Code 2FV30E Abstract This study analyzes the evolution of how the male gender is portrayed in five Academy Award winning animated films, starting in the year 2002 when the category was created. Because there have been seventeen award winning films in the animated film category, and there is a limitation regarding the scope for this paper, the winner from every fourth year have been analyzed; resulting in five films. These films are: Shrek (2001), Wallace and Gromit (2005), Up (2009), Frozen (2013) and Coco (2017). The films selected by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in the Animated Feature film category tend to be both critically and financially successful, and watched by children, young adults, and adults worldwide. How male heroes are portrayed are generally believed to affect not only young boys who are forming their identities (especially ages 6-14), but also views on gender behavioral expectations in girls. Key words Children’s Film, Masculinity Portrayals, Hegemonic Masculinity, Masculinity, Film Analysis, Gender, Men, Boys, Animated Film, Kids Film, Kids Movies, Cinema, Movies, Films, Oscars, Ceremony, Film Award, Awards.

  • Frozen in Time: How Disney Gender-Stereotypes Its Most Powerful Princess

Bull Received: 10 September 2016; Accepted: 24 March 2017; Published: 26 March 2017 Abstract: Disney’s animated feature Frozen (2013) received acclaim for presenting a powerful heroine, Elsa, who is independent of men. Elsa’s avoidance of male suitors, however, could be a result of her protective father’s admonition not to “let them in” in order for her to be a “good girl.” In addition, Elsa’s power threatens emasculation of any potential suitor suggesting that power and romance are mutually exclusive. While some might consider a princess’s focus on power to be refreshing, it is significant that the audience does not see a woman attaining a balance between exercising authority and a relationship. Instead, power is a substitute for romance. Furthermore, despite Elsa’s seemingly triumphant liberation celebrated in Let It Go, selfless love rather than independence is the key to others’ approval of her as queen. Regardless of the need for novel female characters, Elsa is just a variation on the archetypal power-hungry female villain whose lust for power replaces lust for any person, and who threatens the patriarchal status quo. The only twist is that she finds redemption through gender-stereotypical compassion.

  • Frozen and the Evolution of the Disney Heroine
    It’s a Hollywood blockbuster animation that is set to become one of the most successful and beloved family films ever made. And unlike much of Disney’s past output, writes MICHELLE LAW, this film brings positive, progressive messages about gender and difference into the hearts and minds of children everywhere. SISTERS DOIN’ IT FOR THEMSELVES Frozen and the Evolution Screen Education of the Disney Heroine I No. 74 ©ATOM 16 www.screeneducation.com.au NEW & NOTABLE & NEW P MY SISTERS DOIN’ IT FOR THEMSELVES 74 No. I Screen Education 17 ince its US release in November 2013, Disney’s latest an- imated offering,Frozen (Chris Buck & Jennifer Lee), has met with critical acclaim and extraordinary box- office success. It won this year’s Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature Film and Best Original Song (for ‘Let It Go’), and despite being released less than six months Sago, it has already grossed over US$1 billion worldwide, making it the highest-earning Disney-animated film of all time. At the time of printing, the film’s soundtrack has also spent eleven non- consecutive weeks at number one on the US Billboard charts, the most held by a soundtrack since Titanic (James Cameron, 1997). Following the success of Frozen – and Tangled (Nathan Greno & Byron Howard, 2010), Disney’s adaptation of the Rapunzel story – many are antici- pating the dawn of the second Disney animation golden age. The first was what has come to be known as the Disney Renaissance, the period from the late 1980s to the late 1990s when iconic animated films such asThe Little Mermaid (Ron Clements & John Musker, 1989) and Aladdin (Ron Clements & John Musker, 1992) – films that adopted the structure and style of Broadway musicals – saved the company from financial ruin.
