Over the years, animation has evolved as a powerful tool of visual communication aided by advancement of technologies that help make them ever more realistic and immersive. Starting primarily from Europe and the USA, animation is now a global phenomenon with almost all film producing countries contributing to the wealth of animated films. However, like the live action movies, animated films from the USA, especially Disney, dominate the scene. From trivial entertainment meant for children, animation has come to be recognised as an influential art form having significant cultural implications. We now know that it is capable of affecting the thinking and behaviour of children and adults alike. Figure 1: Creating global childhool culture (screenshot from documentary Mickey Mouse Monopoly) In this module we take a look at the world of animation films and the kind of image it portrays of women through female characters.
