  • Animated Stereotypes –
    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.

  • The Walt Disney Silly Symphony Cartoons and American Animation in the 1930S
    Exploration in Imagination: The Walt Disney Silly Symphony Cartoons and American Animation in the 1930s By Kendall Wagner In the 1930s, Americans experienced major changes in their lifestyles when the Great Depression took hold. A feeling of malaise gripped the country, as unemployment rose, and money became scarce. However, despite the economic situation, movie attendance remained strong during the decade.1 Americans attended films to escape from their everyday lives. While many notable live-action feature-length films like The Public Enemy (1931) and It Happened One Night (1934) delighted Depression-era audiences, animated cartoon shorts also grew in popularity. The most important contributor to the evolution of animated cartoons in this era was Walt Disney, who innovated and perfected ideas that drastically changed cartoon production.2 Disney expanded on the simple gag-based cartoon by implementing film technologies like synchronized sound and music, full-spectrum color, and the multiplane camera. With his contributions, cartoons sharply advanced in maturity and professionalism. The ultimate proof came with the release of 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the culmination of the technical and talent development that had taken place at the studio. The massive success of Snow White showed that animation could not only hold feature-length attention but tell a captivating story backed by impressive imagery that could rival any live-action film. However, it would take nearly a decade of experimentation at the Disney Studios before a project of this size and scope could be feasibly produced. While Mickey Mouse is often solely associated with 1930s-era Disney animation, many are unaware that alongside Mickey, ran another popular series of shorts, the Silly Symphony cartoons.

Extent: 66 cubic ft. (165 legal-size Hollinger boxes) Physical Description: Paper Location: MSA Stacks ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION Alternative Formats: Microfilm (S95-S123) of the Pardon Papers, 1837-1909, was made before additions, interfiles, and merging of the series. Most of the unmicrofilmed material will be found from 1854-1876 (pardon certificates and presidential pardons from an unprocessed box) and 1892-1909 (formerly restorations of citizenship). Also, stray records found in the Senior Reference Archivist’s office from 1836-1920 in Box 164 and interfiles (bulk 1860) from 2 Hollinger boxes found in the stacks, a portion of which are in Box 164. Access Restrictions: Applications or petitions listing the social security numbers of living people are confidential and must be provided to patrons in an alternative format. At the discretion of the Senior Reference Archivist, some records from the Board of Probation and Parole may be restricted per RSMo 549.500. Publication Restrictions: Copyright is in the public domain. Preferred Citation: [Name], [Date]; Pardons, 1836- ; Commissions; Office of Secretary of State, Record Group 5; Missouri State Archives, Jefferson City. Acquisition Information: Agency transfer. PARDONS Processing Information: Processing done by various staff members and completed by Mary Kay Coker on October 30, 2007. Combined the series Pardon Papers and Restorations of Citizenship because the latter, especially in later years, contained a large proportion of pardons. The two series were split at 1910 but a later addition overlapped from 1892 to 1909 and these records were left in their respective boxes but listed chronologically in the finding aid.

  • Frame by Frame—Shot by Shot—Is to Drain It of Its Narrative Content
    Conclusion The Labor of Looking That’s how it was in the dream; I was nothing but seeing. —Walter Benjamin1 SEEING DOUBLE I begin my conclusion in medias res, with a description of the beginning of Chuck Jones’s Sniffles Bells the Cat (Warner Bros., 1941), which itself begins in medias res. The cartoon opens with a trio of mice sprinting leftward across the screen. The camera tracks laterally to keep them in the frame, but eventually the mice outpace it. Undeterred, it continues on its leftward track, traveling for more than a second past a seemingly unending stretch of wall (two horizontal bands of blue wallpaper and light brown paneling) and floor (a horizontal band of hardwood, its constitu- tive panels perpendicular to the wall). At last a fourth mouse enters the frame, and he too soon overtakes the camera, slipping out of view. The camera proceeds with its horizontal movement, and another two seconds elapse before a fifth and final figure catches up with it: the large house cat from whom the mice are fleeing. The subsequent shot places us inside the home of the mice, a floor-level hole in the wall, with a mouse’s-eye-view through its rounded doorframe at the larger room beyond (fig. 5.1). Given that much of the frame is shrouded in darkness, a surprising amount of the room is visible: the leg of a (human-size) chair peeks out just to the left of the opening, and another human-size chair and table are in the distance. In addition, the reflection in a mirror hanging above the table displays the meeting of ceiling and walls in the opposite corner of the room.

  • Using Film and Literature to Examine Uncle Remus: a Comparison and Analysis of the Film—Song of the South
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1996 Volume III: Race and Representation in American Cinema Using Film and Literature to Examine Uncle Remus: A Comparison and Analysis of the Film—Song Of The South Curriculum Unit 96.03.02 by Felicia R. McKinnon Grade level Second-Sixth grade students Time Eight weeks, 30-40 minutes per day I am a second grade teacher at L.W. Beecher School in the city of New Haven. The prevailing demographic is that of a predominant African-American culture. Many of the families in the school come from regions with direct links to African culture -the West Indies, Bahamas, West and South Africa and especially the American South. Because of the dominance in African ancestry, I felt that my students would benefit from Black History taught from a different angle. Routinely, we teach Black History every February; during this time we bombard the students with facts, names and dates that they never really are able to internalize. The main cause in this failure to assimilate the required information is a basic lack of foundation for the information to make any real sense to them. Accordingly, in my unit I plan to expose them to the oral tradition of storytelling and provide facts about the contributions of African-Americans to this oral tradition in an attempt to approach the history and dynamics of African-American folklore from a more comprehensive perspective. Additionally, I plan to immerse them in the oral tradition by allowing them to see storytelling in films, experience the story with a professional storyteller, create their own folktales, and even have the opportunity to become the storyteller.

  • Blaxploitation Cinema
    Blaxploitation Cinema The blaxploitation film genre emerged in the early 1970s, when Hollywood studios began releasing movies that depicted a particularly gritty version of black urban life. These films featured almost entirely black casts and were often set in crime-ridden inner-city ghettos. Although the genre emerged on the heels of the Civil Rights movement, blaxploitation films were rarely moral parables or political manifestos: instead, protagonists in these films included private detectives (Shaft, 1971), drug dealers (Superfly, 1972), and violent, tough-talking women in pursuit of revenge (Coffy, 1973; Foxy Brown, 1974). Musically, many of these films featured Funk soundtracks by prominent black musicians, including Isaac Hayes (Shaft), James Brown (Black Caesar, 1973), and Curtis Mayfield (Superfly). The films offered audiences entertainment and thrills as they played out fantasies of empowerment and justice in a world that existed outside of white society’s laws. The box office success of movies like Shaft and Superfly was definitive in the fight for more black artists in the film industry. While the name of the genre is rooted in the word “exploitation,” in many ways the opposite was true. Blaxploitation signaled the rise of a new Black Cinema that employed comparatively higher numbers of black performers, directors, music composers, and other professionals than had ever worked in the industry. From the early days of Hollywood, studios had been relatively closed off to African Americans. Black characters, when they appeared, were generally written as racist stereotypes, especially before the Civil Rights movement. Two prominent examples include Hattie McDaniel’s Oscar-winning portrayal of “Mammy,” the maid in Gone With the Wind (1939), and James Baskett as “Uncle Remus,” the back porch narrator and singer of “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” in Disney’s Song of the South (1946) -- a role that earned him an honorary Oscar.
