Male Representation In Disney Animation

'Disney attempts to send the message to boys that if you don't get the girl, as long as you are persistent, eventually, you will succeed. Disney plays at this attitude in a light and humorous way, but never touches on the negative sides of pursuing someone to whom you are attracted.'

'Unhealthy body images are common among young teens, who are brought up in a society that puts importance on beauty. From the very beginning, we see images of beauty that change and shape who we become. Disney is one of the first experiences we have with these ideas of beauty. We learn from these films that we should aspire to look a certain way, or that we should act a certain way. Boys are "shown" how men should act and what they should look like if they want to be real men.'

'But we don’t spend nearly as much time discussing how these fairy tales affect young boys growing up' 

The reason I have chosen to do 'The Representation of Males in Disney Animation' is to show how it impacts the viewer and how they think they should look and act. There are bad role models like Hurcules who is an egotistic jerk who thinks he's better than everyone else. His structure also makes young boys think that being super muscular is what they should aspire to and look like, creative a bad representation of a male in a Disney Animation.
Another reason I have chosen to do the representation of males is because i don't think people are aware of the affect it can have on young boys. People are normally focused on the representation of females in disney as they are poorly portrayed, but it stops people considering how males feel about being shown as bumb and egotistical.
