The Walt Disney Company – home to Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm and the much loved Pixar and Walt Disney Pictures animated movies. And it is from these animations that many of us learnt about Prince Charming, true love's kiss, and happily ever afters.
While at first glance they are seemingly harmless and entertaining tales of princes and princesses, many of the animated children’s films produced by The Walt Disney Company have reinforced and even exaggerated traditional gender stereotypes.
In this episode, we explore the impact these heteronormative stereotypes have on children and the ideals we hold on to as we get older. Should The Walt Disney Company answer for some of our hangups, or is it all just harmless fun? Have a listen to The Unfairer Sex panellists as we share our views on all things Disney.
