    social sciences $€ £ ¥ Article “I’ve Got to Succeed, So She Can Succeed, So We Can Succeed”: Empowered Mothering, Role Fluidity, and Competition in Incredible Parenting Suzan G. Brydon Independent Researcher, Denver, CO, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-314-691-4445 Received: 5 October 2018; Accepted: 23 October 2018; Published: 30 October 2018 Abstract: The social influence of Disney discourse is difficult to ignore, as is their repetitive matricide and positioning of the patriarchal and heteronormative family model in their bloc.kbuster animated films. Yet, through its Pixar Animation Studios subsidiary, Disney has pushed progressively at the boundaries, not only in terms of animation artistry but also through the social topics explored. This study builds on previous research of male mothering in Finding Nemo by visiting the subsequent 11 Pixar animated films, with in-depth exploration of their most recent release, Incredibles 2. Ultimately, I argue that Pixar has once again opened space by embracing empowered and collaborative parenting. Keywords: Disney; gender; motherhood; media criticism; family roles; masculinity; empowered mothering; Pixar “Done properly, parenting is a heroic act. Done properly. I’m fortunate that it has never afflicted me.” (Edna Mode, Incredibles 2) 1. Introduction In 2003, Walt Disney Pictures via its Pixar Animation Studios subsidiary released Finding Nemo, a movie that as of 2018 has grossed one billion dollars worldwide (IMDB) and garnered the studio multiple awards, including four Academy Award nominations and an Oscar win for Best Animated Feature Film. Not only did this film entertain millions and significantly increase Disney accolades and profitability, it also became part of larger media and culture analyses of the Disney animated repertoire.

ANIMATING AESTHETICS: PIXAR AND DIGITAL CULTURE by Eric Herhuth A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English at The University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee August 2015 ABSTRACT ANIMATING AESTHETICS: PIXAR AND DIGITAL CULTURE by Eric Herhuth The University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, 2015 Under the Supervision of Professor Patrice Petro In the pre-digital age of cinema, animated and live-action film shared a technological basis in photography and they continue to share a basis in digital technology. This fact limits the capacity for technological inquiries to explain the persistent distinction between animated and live-action film, especially when many scholars in film and media studies agree that all moving image media are instances of animation. Understanding the distinction in aesthetic terms, however, illuminates how animation reflexively addresses aesthetic experience and its function within contexts of technological, environmental, and socio-cultural change. “Animating Aesthetics: Pixar and Digital Culture” argues that the aesthetics that perpetuate the idea of animation as a distinct mode in a digital media environment are particularly evident in the films produced by Pixar Animation Studios.

  • Movie Review: ‘Incredibles 2’
    Movie Review: ‘Incredibles 2’ NEW YORK — The first family of superheroes returns in “Incredibles 2” (Disney), the highly anticipated sequel to a much-loved 2004 animated film. Alas, the passage of time (a truly incredible 14 years) has not been kind. Despite Brad Bird’s return as writer and director, “Incredibles 2” lacks the spontaneity, charm and style of its precursor (as well as the leading article from “The Incredibles”). Story takes a back seat to a visually impressive but relentless barrage of (often repetitive) action and violence, even gunplay, which may frighten younger viewers. Added to the mix is some profane and crass language which is jarring in any children’s movie. It’s a pity, as amid all the bluster “Incredibles 2” pitches the worthy lessons of its predecessor about love, family, courage and helping others in need. “Incredibles 2” picks right up where the last film left off. The Parr family — parents Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) and Helen (voice of Holly Hunter), and kids Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell), Dash (voice of Huck Milner), and baby Jack-Jack (voice of Eli Fucile) — have just used their assorted superhuman abilities to vanquish the forces of evil. But their victory is short-lived; the law still dictates that “supers” must remain undercover and inactive. So the Parrs reluctantly return to their humdrum existence, and Helen and Bob wonder how they will make ends meet. Enter a champion, Winston Deavor (voice of Bob Odenkirk), a media mogul and superhero fan who wants to rehabilitate the supers and remind society of their importance.

Thank you for allowing me to fall in love with books and movies, and for sharing this passion with me. I would also like to thank my sister, Gabriella, for helping me find the silver lining of every cloud.
