Contents:
In the past, animated films have created a divide between the behaviours suited to each gender. Using the Pixar film 'Inside out' as an example, it was concluded that while in the past 5-10 years there have been steps taken towards portraying gender equality in animation, there is still an in-built system in animated works which clearly seperates the roles of male and female. It was also discovered that Pixar in particular has a habit of developing strong, athletic, above average male characters that challenge and defeat the super-villain, who is usually someone whose skills lie in other areas. In animation today, not only are companies such as Pixar subtly creating gender specific roles between male and female, they are also creating a gender divide between male and male. They are instilling into their viewers the age old battle between brawn over brain. [Abstract]
