Your analysis of Aladdin and The Little Mermaid were perfect for the Magic Bullet theory, I also thought an interesting example for the magic bullet theory was the Latino women who said that chihuahua dogs were always representing the Latino population. It amazed me that Disney used so many stereotypes when making their movies. One question I was thinking about is do you think that Disney made the movie The Princess and the Frog on purpose just so they can say that they have a African American princess? This question goes along with the Cultivation Theory you discussed. It is clear that that children notice the physical characteristics in front of them and it is a shame that it took Disney so long to start including other races. Well done on your examples, Lauren!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15793820089631327308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6686334347568576872.post-88651833946594558442013-11-27T17:26:36.372-06:002013-11-27T17:26:36.372-06:00I happened to find this documentary to be very eye...I happened to find this documentary to be very eye opening as well as I was once a young girl influenced by these Disney movies and characters. Your example of the representation of gender roles within the movies, The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, were spot on for describing the magic bullet theory. I found it very unbelievable that Disney, focused on entertainment for children, had such specific representations on how women and men should look and act, especially when Jasmine uses her body (sexuality) to distract a male. As I too used the Cultivation Theory within my response to this documentary, I agree with your explanation of how race was the perception being distorted. Since most children happen to notice such racial and gender stereotypes, I wonder if these movies should have some kind of censorship to not allow them to influence the children's imaginations into a skewed version of what reality is. Overall, good job on picking out these specific examples to describe the two theories you discussed!Cassidy Neuvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09162170511606593794noreply@blogger.com
