Abstract

Walt disney Productions is a multimedia conglomerate, not only producing a majority of the children's cinema on the market today, but also submersing itself in the children's toy market, owning television stations such as ABC and the disney Channel, and even creating their own town called Celebration Florida centered on the "disney lifestyle" of fun, fantasy, and purity. While disney movies contain many valuable life lessons to impart on young children such as good always triumphs over evil, it is better to deal with your problems than run away, it is always best to tell the truth, and it is important to be polite, the actual symbols contained within the framework of the media may have a different and even harmful impact on children's understandings of gender roles and ideologies. Through different studies, media analysis, and pertinent research it can be seen that disney characters and their interactions throughout the films help to form children's images of femininity and masculinity saturated with the many stereotypes attributed to both genders.
