Essay: Disney & The Reproduction of Culture (10/25)

After reading the Chapter linguistically analyzing Disney films by Lippi Green, choose one animated film and give a detailed analysis of the way that "subordinate groups" are represented. (List each group and describe the characters which represent them).

• Include all the "tools" which may be employed to create stereotypes, and reinforce the superior position of White, Christian, heteronormative values in your analysis. 
• Remember that many of these tools and techniques may be subtle, relying on a combination of verbal and nonverbal cues, while reinforcing shared values (good vs evil, kindness vs cruelty, etc.). 
• Finally, consider how the reinforcement of these stereotypes within these strongly held beliefs makes their presentation powerful in children's media.
