Best Animated Film: Brave Q. Please Welcome the Bafta Winning Co Best animated film: Brave Q. Please welcome the Bafta winning co-directors of the Best Animated Film, Pixar's Brave, Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman. Congratulations guys. MARK ANDREWS: Thank you. Q. How does it feel because Pixar has this long and illustrious history of hoovering up every award in its path so is there pressure on you when you start a project like this? BRENDA CHAPMAN: We don't think -- I don't -- you don't think about it, you're just making the movie then you go oh, an award. MARK ANDREWS: Oh, 13th film, oh yeah, stacked the deck against us, oh yes. Q. So where are these going to go? Is there a big shelf in Pixar? MARK ANDREWS: There is a big thing but I think we'll keep these at our house. Q. Any questions for Brenda and Mark? Thank you. PRESS: You touched on it a little bit there but given Pixar's tremendous history for winning these awards, is it special when the films are recognised that you don't let the side down a little bit? MARK ANDREWS: No, no I think -- I mean it's -- it's great you know when you do win it because we make these films -- no matter how many times Pixar makes films it's always like when you're starting to make a film it's like making a film for the very first time, you know. So when it's released and it gets out there and it's building up all the success and then you get nominated for awards, it's like dreams come true. It's like yes, there's that validation. The audiences love it but these great academies, our peers, they love it too and that's a fantastic feeling. Q. Yes please? PRESS: Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that the central character was a female, as a change? BRENDA CHAPMAN: I don't know about the words but I know it's gotten a lot of attention because of that and I think because of a lot of women and their daughters and even dads, I remember having a lot of dads coming into my office and closing the door and breaking down in tears after seeing the screenings because they recognise it from their sisters, mothers and daughters and wives. So for that I'm very grateful and glad that we chose something that touched home that you don't see that much. So as far as the awards, I don't know. Q. Any other questions for Mark or Brenda or and Brenda? PRESS: Do you ever do the voices on the Pixar films? MARK ANDREWS: Well we have this thing where -- the scratch track before we go out and find our fantastic actors. I was the scratch voice for King Fergus. I put on my very bad Scottish accent: "All reet!" It's pretty good. BRENDA CHAPMAN: Billy is better though. MARK ANDREWS: Way better. PRESS: Did you read at all? BRENDA CHAPMAN: No. I break into a really bad Irish accent when I try to do Scottish, so no. Q. Any more questions for Mark and Brenda? No. Thank you very much indeed. Congratulations Mark Andrews, Brenda Chapman. Thank you. .

    From Snow White to Frozen An evaluation of popular gender representation indicators applied to Disney’s princess films __________________________________________________ En utvärdering av populära könsrepresentations-indikatorer tillämpade på Disneys prinsessfilmer __________________________________________________ Johan Nyh __________________________________________________ Faculty: The Institution for Geography, Media and Communication __________________________________________________ Subject: Film studies __________________________________________________ Points: 15hp Master thesis __________________________________________________ Supervisor: Patrik Sjöberg __________________________________________________ Examiner: John Sundholm __________________________________________________ Date: June 25th, 2015 __________________________________________________ Serial number: __________________________________________________ Abstract Simple content analysis methods, such as the Bechdel test and measuring percentage of female talk time or characters, have seen a surge of attention from mainstream media and in social media the last couple of years. Underlying assumptions are generally shared with the gender role socialization model and consequently, an importance is stated, due to a high degree to which impressions from media shape in particular young children’s identification processes. For young girls, the Disney Princesses franchise (with Frozen included) stands out as the number one player commercially as well as in customer awareness.

  • 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.

The work of many talented artists is featured, and it's always interesting to read about the process of development and creation and occasional difficulties that go into creating the rich visual world and characters of an animated film. Javascript is not enabled in your browser. It's Pixar's first feature film driven by a female lead and its first set in an ancient historical period. Try Now. Not my favorite of the Art Of books, but still definitely worth a pick-up nonetheless. Jenny Lerew. Mar 12, Violetta rated it really liked it Shelves: owned. Teachings on fearlessness, compassion, and love of nature by the founder of the Japanese martial art of Aikido—now part of the Shambhala Pocket LibraryThe real way of the warrior is based on compassion, wisdom, fearlessness, and love of nature. At once epic and intimate, the latest Pixar masterpiece weaves a story of magic, danger, and adventure and the fierce bonds of family. Aug 28, Gloria Dauden rated it really liked it. It was nice to read some of the insight that went into developing this family-centered story and creating such a unique cast of characters and yes, there's copious mention of a mane of fiery red hair, and also a world rich in texture and forests and castles and fantasy mixed with reality , and also to get a look at some abandoned concepts and story ideas that would have been really beautiful not that the end product wasn't.

First and foremost, thank you my fellow director, Brenda Chapman, for creating this inspirational love story, this unconventional fairytale that relies -- that doesn't rely its happy ending on a Prince Charming, that is centred around this dynamic lead female, thank you very much. Thank you to Pixar, John Lasseter, Ed Campbell, Jim Morrison(?) (inaudible) for supporting the film, our producer Katherine Sarafian for her leadership and collaboration. The entire crew that made the mysteries of Scotland come alive on-screen and brought them to life. Thank you to our families who put up with us for these several, several, several, several, several years that it takes to make this film. To me, being brave is about being true to yourself and allowing our loved ones the same freedom. BRENDA CHAPMAN: First and foremost, I would like to thank my beautiful, strong daughter that drives me crazy. She inspired this film from the beginning. So Emma, back home, thank you. My husband who was incredibly supportive and loyal. And I have to say, my UK cast, you guys were amazing, most of you lived up north but we couldn't have made this film without you.

For the past 80 years, America’s younger generations have taken social cues from their favorite animated movies, learning to act like their favorite princes and princesses. Over the past few decades, Disney has broken through the concept of the damsel in distress and transitioned to represent and even advance modern feminist ideals. From likable protagonists to prominent images and popular products, the movies reinforce the gender roles they present because children learn to imitate the characters during playtime. 22 JAMES MADISON UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH JOURNAL he idea of being a princess is not a novel fantasy; it In Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Snow White is portrayed has been around for centuries.
