few days ago we proposed to break down stereotypes, preconceptions and hidden messages that appear in one of the greatest artists of our time role: Disney. We start with the class discussion of "The Lion King, one of the most interesting films in this regard, as it is filled with religious references, political, social, racial. Under the guise of a fairy innocent, implanted ideas that can be difficult to eradicate. From there, each had to choose their Disney movie and begin to dissect. As it is impossible to complete works, and most have interesting contributions, I have a small selection of what might be called the Disney poison pills.

The Little Mermaid

" ... The heroine, Ariel, although at first is presented as an independent woman and stronger than their predecessors, it becomes part of the canon beautiful young woman known as the prince to end up having to be saved inevitably for it .. The prince is a man guided by the desire to find a beautiful woman to get married regardless of their other qualities.

The female pr IXTY emotional instability, dependency and unworthiness. "

Miriam León

. " ... Ursula is bad, fat and ugly, Little Mermaid is pretty and thin, it makes the children apply these concepts to people .... When negative things happen in bad weather, like hell ... "

Natalia Fernández

"... White is safe within the home, abroad feel lost, need male figures who protect it. gnomes do all the work outside the home, as they believe the toilet and effeminate chores.

.... Women should stay home cleaning and cooking, to make her man happy "

Marzena Teresa Sielska

" ... White in color symbolism presents is: white is the snow, purity, gentleness, good. Quite the contrary that black stepmother. The apple represents the forbidden fruit of the culture Judeo-Christian. "

Andrea Holguin

" ... Grumpy puts women as bossy or make things worse, women serve only to work at home and men in matters of strength. When Snow White flees the room is dark and the animals of the night, the day clearly symbolizes the good and the absence of hazards. "

Zaida Ramos

About Bambi

" ... The woman is represented by female animals that are sensitive, caring, vulnerable and have to take care of pups. The men are people cold, unfeeling, strong, protective with females and calves. The division of roles by gender is detemine by the time the film was shot .. 1942, during the world war "

Sara Collado

About Hercules

"... In the movie the woman is in charge of the household and raising children, both in the case of Hera as the Alcmene. You can see that women only care about their appearance, when Meg is attacked by the centaur is dedicated to fixing your hair.

... She is manipulative and a danger to humans, if not a sentimental get carried away by their emotions do crazy and needing to be protected by a strong man. "

Mónica del Barrio.

on "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"

"... The movie exalts the figure of the cathedral, which compares with God. Whenever we see drawings of the city is lit, as if heaven .. The church is the only one that accepts the hunchback, and end when the girl approaches Quasimodo, recalls when Jesus said, Suffer little children come to me "..

The Frollo and Esmeralda attraction there is some sadomasochism when he says: I'd like to put a rope around his neck-erotic tone." Cristina

Sarro

About Cinderella

"... ratites When Cinderella's dress sewn tell a mouse that was intended sewing that he might be women, thus creating the idea that woman is should do this kind of work.

... and we create an image of submission very impo rtante, since the only thing you can do is dream and hope to meet losueños. We must never behave badly, but they have done to us, life will compensate us. And the wicked are punished in some way. "Ania

Pedraza

Raquel González

About The Lady and the Tramp .

"... Pocahontas is the stereotype of the holy child, daddy's girl who never does anything, just because the boss's daughter. (...) The woman is seen as inferior beings who always appears working. "

Negru Laura Angelica

About Aladdin

"... good and innocent characters have Western features. Oriental features are enhanced in the most aggressive. To highlight further the power of genius complentarias shadows are your color.

The bad mistreats women, but she did not come expecting to defend another man to defend it. The predominant color when Jafar is the red queen, representing hell, sin. "

Cristina López

"... In many Disney movies featuring characters with few lights gooders, who always handled in Here is the caliph.
