  • Deliver Us to Cinema: the Prince of Egypt and Cinematic Depictions of Religious Texts
    Deliver Us to Cinema: The Prince of Egypt and Cinematic Depictions of Religious Texts Kadii Lott Introduction There is a pervasive Hollywood culture of appropriating and commodifying biblical concepts and imagery into films that do not explicitly address the Abrahamic belief systems that consider the Old and New Testaments as sacred texts. Many such films received mixed reviews. Christian and Jewish groups have heavily criticised particular adaptations of scriptural stories, including Life of Brian,1 The Last Temptation of Christ,2 The Passion of Christ,3 and Noah,4 for their blasphemous or ill-intentioned treatment of biblical figures. Despite the protectiveness of religious people Kadii Lott received First Class Honours in Studies in Religion at the University of Sydney in 2020. 1 The 1979 religious satire reimagined the fictional life of a man named Brian who gets mistaken for Jesus. The film was considered blasphemous by some Christians who protested against the release and the film was banned in many countries upon its release, including in Ireland and Norway. See Ben Dowell, ‘BBC to dramatise unholy row over Monty Python’s Life of Brian’, The Guardian (21 June 2011), https://www.theguardian.com/media/ 2011/jun/21/bbc-monty-python-life-of-brian. Accessed 13 July 2020. 2 Scorsese’s depicted Jesus Christ dealing with worldly temptations like everyone else. This caused outrage amongst some Christian groups, even leading to an incident in Paris where a theatre showing the film was set on fire. See Steven Greenhouse, ‘Police Suspect Arson In Fire at Paris Theater’, The New York Times (25 October 1988), p.

  • Animating Revolt and Revolting Animation
    ChApter one Animating Revolt and Revolting Animation The chickens are revolting! —Mr. Tweedy in Chicken Run Animated films for children revel in the domain of failure. To captivate the child audience, an animated film cannot deal only in the realms of success and triumph and perfection. Childhood, as many queers in particular recall, is a long lesson in humility, awkwardness, limitation, and what Kathryn Bond Stockton has called “growing sideways.” Stockton proposes that childhood is an essentially queer experience in a society that acknowledges through its extensive training programs for children that hetero- sexuality is not born but made. If we were all already normative and heterosexual to begin with in our desires, orientations, and modes of being, then presumably we would not need such strict parental guidance to deliver us all to our common destinies of marriage, child rearing, and hetero- reproduction. If you believe that children need training, you assume and allow for the fact that they are always already anarchic and rebellious, out of order and out of time. Animated films nowadays succeed, I think, to the extent to which they are able to address the disorderly child, the child who sees his or her family and parents as the problem, the child who knows there is a bigger world out there beyond the family, if only he or she could reach it. Animated films are for children who believe that “things” (toys, nonhuman animals, rocks, sponges) are as lively as humans and who can Downloaded from https://read.dukeupress.edu/books/chapter-pdf/106945/9780822394358-002.pdf by TEMPLE UNIVERSITY user on 07 January 2019 1.

  • Review Section Stealing from the Bees and Cooking with the Rats
    Society and Animals 17 (2009) 91-95 www.brill.nl/soan Review Section Stealing from the Bees and Cooking with the Rats Mark von Schlemmer Department of Th eatre & Film, University of Kansas, 1621 W. 9th St., Lawrence, KS 66044, USA [email protected] Bee Movie. 2007. Steve Hickner and Simon J. Smith (Directors). DreamWorks. Animation. Ratatouille. 2007. Brad Bird and Jan Pinkava (Directors). Pixar Animation Studios/Walt Disney Films. Introduction Bee Movie and Ratatouille target mainstream American audiences. Th ey follow in the foot- steps of successful animated fi lms of recent years, with nonhuman animals as the protago- nists interacting with humans in familiar and amusing, if non-realistic, ways. Th e relationships that the main characters form with humans, although surprisingly coopera- tive, take distinctly diff erent turns and lead these fi lms in diff erent directions and with varying levels of authenticity and respectfulness to human-animal relationships. Bee Movie When Barry B. Benson (voiced by comedian Jerry Seinfeld) sets out to do some explora- tion, he discovers a friendly human fl orist named Vanessa (voiced by Renée Zellweger) with whom he can talk (though by doing so he is breaking a cardinal bee law) and who talks back to him in full understanding. Th rough this friendly relationship, Barry discovers that humans consume honey made by bees. With Vanessa’s aid, he fi les a class-action lawsuit on behalf of all bees against the honey distributors and wins the court case. All the honey is returned to the bees who then collectively decide they do not need to work so hard any- more and so they stop altogether.

  • Fantasy at Work: Representations of Labour and Economy in Children's
    School of Labour Studies ________________________________________________ Fantasy at Work: Representations of Labour and Economy in Children’s Animated Films by Navjeet Sidhu, MA, Work & Society, 2012 McMaster University _________________________________________________ Work in a Global Society Working Paper Series 2013‐1 Fantasy at Work: Representations of Labour and Economy in Children’s Animated Films March 2013 Navjeet Sidhu [email protected] Abstract Popular media play a significant role in a child’s socialization process, having the ability to transmit important messages about how the world functions, to promote certain traditional values, and to shape what is considered to be acceptable and expected social behaviour. How popular children’s media portray ideas and concepts related to labour and the economy is one area that has been largely under‐researched. This paper will examine how work and capitalism are represented in four Disney Pixar and DreamWorks animated films. It will be argued that the messages contained within these films – the moral virtues of hard work and private ownership, and the legitimacy of the power of bosses over workers – reinforce dominant values and ideologies which support and legitimize the capitalist economic system. The internalization of these messages and discourses work to shape and influence children’s understanding of and attitudes towards work which are carried throughout their developmental lifespan and into their role as future workers. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Working Paper 2013-1 1 Work in a Global Society, McMaster University Introduction How children learn about the world of work, how our economic system functions, their future role and place within this system, along with an array of other cultural values, social norms and behaviours expected and required of them in order to function properly in society, is the process known as ‘socialization’ (Denhardt and Jeffress 1971).
