    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.

    DRAGONSLAYER PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Jennifer L Holm,Matthew Holm | 91 pages | 25 Aug 2009 | Random House USA Inc | 9780375857126 | English | New York, United States Dragonslayer PDF Book Oziach says that to be able to buy a rune platebody from him, you have to kill the green dragon , Elvarg , located on the desolate island of Crandor. Ignoring them, Rowan told Leaf about what the Dragonslayer did, and Leaf immediately wished to become a dragonslayer himself, but his parents strongly disapprove of the idea. Graphic artist David Bunnett was assigned to design the look of the dragon, and was fed ideas on the mechanics on how the dragon would move, and then rendered the concepts on paper. He was looking outside his window hoping that Wren would come back to The Indestructible City. Guts uses the empowered sword to deal a blazing blast to the Kundalini aiding Daiba, causing the magical beast's large water form to dematerialize. He is essential and will only fight for a short time before returning to his post. The screenplay was eventually accepted by Paramount Pictures and Walt Disney Productions , becoming the two studios' second joint effort after the film Popeye. Archived from the original on August 20, Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times called Vermithrax "the greatest dragon yet", and praised the film for its effective evocation of the Dark Ages. Screen Rant. Wren and Sky saw a few sea dragons, and Sky suddenly exclaimed that Wren could ride on him. Massive, thick, heavy, and far too rough. Dragon Slayer is a free-to-play quest often regarded as the most difficult to free players.

    BBC RADIO 3 - SOUNDS OF SHAKESPEARE APRIL – MAY 2016 MONDAY 18TH – FRIDAY 22ND APRIL Essential Classics Monday 18th - Friday 22nd April 0900 - 1200 In the week leading up to the Shakespeare 400 anniversary, the guest on Radio 3’s morning programme is Adrian Lester OBE, acclaimed for his performances as Henry V and Othello at the National Theatre – winning the Evening Standard Best Actor award. He’ll talk about Shakespeare, his life as an actor and choose some fascinating music. Producer: Sarah Devonald, Somethin’Else Composer of the Week Monday 18th - Friday 22nd April 1200 – 1300 William Byrd There is frustratingly little evidence that William Byrd was personally acquainted with his fellow Elizabethan, William Shakespeare. Although, a tantalising reference to “the bird of loudest lay” in Shakespeare’s sonnet, The Phoenix and the Turtle hints that they may have been more than mere contemporaries. As a Roman Catholic in Elizabethan England, William Byrd was persecuted by the state and often forced to tread a dangerous path between his personal convictions and his duty to the Queen. His musical talent and his strength of character enabled him not just to survive, but thrive. Despite his trials, he was, and continues to be, celebrated as the greatest British musician of his age. SOUNDS OF SHAKESPEARE LIVE 22nd – 24th April, Stratford-upon-Avon Radio 3 broadcasts live all weekend from its pop-up studio at the Royal Shakespeare Company’s The Other Place theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon and at venues across the town. Actors, musicians, poets, singers and orchestras perform a huge range of songs, film scores, jazz, chamber music, choral works and world music - all inspired by Shakespeare's works.

    Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage

    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.
