Genre in Contemporary Disney Animated Features (2008-2016) Eve Benhamou A dissertation submitted to the University of Bristol in accordance with the requirements for award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts Department of Film and Television 15 February 2019 79,352 words 1 ABSTRACT This thesis explores how Disney has re-appropriated and re-envisioned a wide range of Hollywood genres in order to revise and renew the studio’s feature-length animated output. Focusing on films released between 2008 and 2016, this study analyses their distinctive generic approach, building on the specific aesthetic of animation, and the intertext and paratext surrounding Disney. This study elaborates on two main trends characterising Disney’s contemporary output. Section 1 focuses on borrowings from and convergences with genres of romance, including romantic and screwball comedies, looking closely at how Disney self-reflexively revises one of the studio’s most iconic genre: the fairy tale. Section 2 explores the studio’s more expansive generic impulses, considering re-appropriations of action-adventure genres such as the superhero film and the cop buddy film. These two sections demonstrate the multiple ways in which Disney’s output engages with contemporary Hollywood genres, both as animated films and Disney features. Examining these films from the perspective of genre studies challenges well-established understandings of Disney, mainstream animation, and film genres. The analysis of non- canonical films such as Disney animated features, often excluded from live-action dominated genre studies, opens new ways to approach major Hollywood genres, foregrounding the porousness of generic borders and the key role of paratexts in generic construction. Such a generic perspective also reassesses recurring associations between mainstream animated films and a very narrow set of genres, linked to their perceived limited audience and lightweight content. Through the particular form and styles of animation, these films re-imagine a multiplicity of genres in playfully challenging and often subversive ways. Combining a focus on genre and on the specificities of the animation medium, this thesis illuminates how Disney distinctively reworks contemporary generic tropes, engaging with the studio’s own familiar narratives, aesthetic style, and gender portrayals in the process. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my supervisor, Kristian Moen, for his dedicated guidance, patience, and enthusiasm for my project. His illuminating advice and constant encouragement have been invaluable. My co-supervisor, Sarah Street, has always provided insightful feedback and assistance. My sincere appreciation goes to the University of Bristol for its financial support. Lucy Langley-Palmer and Shelley Marsden significantly helped navigate the practicalities of postgraduate research studies. I am particularly grateful to the Film & Television postgraduate community for their thought- provoking suggestions and infectious passion for cinema. The long film discussions over cake/ice cream were particularly appreciated. Special thanks to Miguel Gaggiotti, Dominic Lash, Hoi Lun Law, Steven Roberts, and Polly Rose for their comments on this work. The denizens of the Arts & Humanities graduate school also made this PhD journey a more joyful one. Special praise goes to Jawaher Alghamdi and Dana Ramona. I am forever indebted to my parents for their unwavering confidence in me and in my work, and for fostering my love of film through an extensive home video library and weekly trips to the cinema. Huge thanks to my boyfriend, Ricardo, who introduced me to many of the (action-adventure) films discussed in this thesis, and selflessly accompanied me to watch Frozen and almost everything released by Disney in the past five years. His support and silly jokes helped me go through the ups and downs of postgraduate life. Finally, I dedicate this thesis to my father.

Contact: [email protected] 1 Digital Surrealism: Visualizing Walt Disney Animation Studios Abstract There are a number of fruitful digital humanities approaches to cinema and media studies, but most of them only pursue traditional forms of scholarship by extracting a single variable from the audiovisual text that is already legible to scholars. Instead, cinema and media studies should pursue a mostly-ignored “digital-surrealism” that uses computer-based methods to transform film texts in radical ways not previously possible. This article describes one such method using the z-projection function of the scientific image analysis software ImageJ to sum film frames in order to create new composite images. Working with the fifty-four feature-length films from Walt Disney Animation Studios, I describe how this method allows for a unique understanding of a film corpus not otherwise available to cinema and media studies scholars. “Technique is the very being of all creation” — Roland Barthes “We dig up diamonds by the score, a thousand rubies, sometimes more, but we don't know what we dig them for” — The Seven Dwarfs There are quite a number of fruitful digital humanities approaches to cinema and media studies, which vary widely from aesthetic techniques of visualizing color and form in shots to data-driven metrics approaches analyzing editing patterns.

  • Smith and Choueiti Gender Inequality in '08 Films
    1 Gender Inequality in Cinematic Content? A Look at Females On Screen & Behind-the-Camera in Top-Grossing 2008 Films Stacy L. Smith, PhD. & Marc Choueiti Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism University of Southern California 3502 Watt Way, Suite 222 Los Angeles, CA 90089 [email protected] Summary This study examined the gender of all speaking characters and behind-the-scenes employees on the 100 top-grossing fictional films in 2008. A total of 4,370 speaking characters were evaluated and 1,227 above-the-line personnel. In addition to prevalence, we assessed the hypersexualization of on screen characters across the 100 movies. Below are the study’s main findings. 32.8 percent of speaking characters were female. Put differently, a ratio of roughly 2 males to every one female was observed across the 100 top-grossing films. Though still grossly imbalanced given that females represent over half of the U.S. population, this is the highest percentage of females in film we have witnessed across multiple studies. The presence of women working behind-the-camera is still abysmal. Only, 8% of directors, 13.6% of writers, and 19.1% of producers are female. This calculates to a ratio of 4.90 males to every one female. Films with female directors, writers, and producers were associated with a higher number of girls and women on screen than were films with only males in these gate-keeping positions. To illustrate, the percentage of female characters jumps 14.3% when one or more female screenwriters were involved in penning the script.

    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.

  • Global Cinema
    GLOBAL CINEMA Edited by Katarzyna Marciniak, Anikó Imre, and Áine O’Healy The Global Cinema series publishes innovative scholarship on the transnational themes, industries, economies, and aesthetic elements that increasingly connect cinemas around the world. It promotes theoretically transformative and politi- cally challenging projects that rethink film studies from cross-cultural, comparative perspectives, bringing into focus forms of cinematic production that resist nation- alist or hegemonic frameworks. Rather than aiming at comprehensive geographical coverage, it foregrounds transnational interconnections in the production, dis- tribution, exhibition, study, and teaching of film. Dedicated to global aspects of cinema, this pioneering series combines original perspectives and new method- ological paths with accessibility and coverage. Both “global” and “cinema” remain open to a range of approaches and interpretations, new and traditional. Books pub- lished in the series sustain a specific concern with the medium of cinema but do not defensively protect the boundaries of film studies, recognizing that film exists in a converging media environment. The series emphasizes a historically expanded rather than an exclusively presentist notion of globalization; it is mindful of reposi- tioning “the global” away from a US-centric/Eurocentric grid, and remains critical of celebratory notions of “globalizing film studies.” Katarzyna Marciniak is a professor of Transnational Studies in the English Depart- ment at Ohio University.

    Partners Transcript: Aline & Rachel Aline: There was tons and tons of stuff coming out of the writers' room that Rachel could not process because she was shooting. I would try and grab her when she was changing, or when she was peeing, or— (OVERLAP) Rachel: She saw me naked and peeing a lot. Aline: Yeah. Aline: My name is Aline Brosh McKenna and I'm the co-creator of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. ​ ​ Rachel: My name is Rachel Bloom and I am the other co-creator of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. ​ Hrishikesh: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was a genre-bending TV show—part comedy, part drama, ​ part musical, that aired for four seasons on the CW, from 2015 to 2019. It was a show that challenged and subverted the familiar tropes of romantic comedies. And along the way, it won a Critics Choice Award, a Golden Globe Award, and four Emmys, including some for the star of the show, Rachel Bloom, who co-created it with Aline Brosh McKenna. When it comes to romantic comedies, Aline Brosh McKenna is a master of the form, having written the screenplays for 27 Dresses and The Devil Wears Prada, among others. But before Rachel and ​ ​ ​ Aline got to deconstructing romantic comedies, they had a meet-cute of their own, thanks to the website Jezebel. Here’s Aline. Aline: I was in my old office, which is on the Hanson Lot and I was procrastinating. And at the time I used to read Jezebel pretty regularly, and I saw a little piece on - Rachel had a new video out.
