Encoded in media images are ideologies about how we think about the world, belief systems, constructions of reality.
00:00:00
And we develop our notions of reality from the cultural mechanisms around us.
00:00:09
And one of the most important cultural institutions that we have today is indeed the media.
00:00:16
What's amazing when you look at Disney and Disney movies over the years is how little the image of females has really changed.
00:00:21
You still have the same highly sexualized female body with the big breasts, the tiny waists, the fluttering eyelashes, the coy expressions, the seductress.
00:00:42
These images seem very similar over the years.
00:01:09
And even when they're in animal form, you know, you've got this very seductive little female animal.
00:01:13
this presents people with a kind of notion of what femininity is about this is not a mirror
00:01:19
on society this is not reflecting who women really are or what females really are it is
00:01:43
basically constructing notions of what femininity is and these are not notions that necessarily
00:01:48
disney invented but what they do do with these notions is they caricature them they wrap them
00:01:54
up in this Magic Kingdom wrapper and they sell them to children and that's really the
00:02:00
power of Disney.
00:02:05
When they're young, they're trying to figure out what does it mean to be a woman?
00:02:07
What do I look like if I'm a girl?
00:02:10
What should I look like?
00:02:12
And they'll focus on the most salient, dramatic images they can see.
00:02:14
They don't necessarily think about, well, that doesn't look like the women I know in
00:02:18
real life.
00:02:22
They don't make those kinds of comparisons because that's kind of like making a movie,
00:02:23
a whole story together doing logical comparisons they think about one slide at a time this is how
00:02:27
it looks here gee that's interesting maybe i want to look like that jasmine in the aladdin film
00:02:34
in which uh there's a scene where she becomes a seductress to distract the person who's after
00:02:42
Aladdin. I never realized how incredibly handsome you are. That's better. Now, Pussycat, tell me
00:02:49
more about myself. Your beard is so twisted. This I find very dangerous because you have,
00:03:04
again it gives young girls
00:03:16
the idea that that is the way
00:03:19
that you get what you want
00:03:21
you use your body
00:03:23
One of the themes seen repeatedly
00:03:25
in Disney's movies is that
00:03:29
however strong or powerful a female
00:03:31
character may be, she still needs
00:03:33
to be rescued by a male
00:03:35
In the world of Disney, females
00:03:37
not only get into trouble easily
00:03:39
they also lack the ability to save their own lives
00:03:41
This is true even of
00:03:44
disney's films of the eighties and nineties
00:03:45
a great deal of my work in my professional life has to do with family
00:03:57
violence
00:04:00
and when you look
00:04:02
at that movie with that
00:04:03
the abuses horrific
00:04:06
no well listen to me i'm all i've lived my life
00:04:09
screams at her she imprisons her he throws her father's
00:04:16
the door and rips her family away from her. His behavior is without question frankly and
00:04:21
horrifically abusive.
00:04:37
why i didn't see it there before and this is a movie that is saying to our children
00:04:51
overlook the abuse overlook the violence there's a tender prince lurking within and it's your job
00:05:01
to kiss that prince and bring it out or to kiss that beast and bring the prince out
00:05:08
That's a dangerous message.
00:05:15
If that was my friend and I had seen her go through this whole thing,
00:05:18
I would probably just say, keep on being nice and sweet like you are,
00:05:23
and that would probably change him.
00:05:26
And in the movie, it does.
00:05:28
Well, I just can't believe my eyes.
00:05:30
They ain't dead, is they?
00:05:33
No, dead people don't snow.
00:05:35
In Jungle Book, it's that same, you know, the jive and the hustle and the dance
00:05:38
And, you know, there's these gorillas that sound like, and orangutans that sound like black people who want to be like men, but will never be men.
00:05:43
The buffoon.
00:05:55
I want to be a man, man cup, and stroll right into town, and be just like the other men.
00:05:57
I'm tired of mucking around.
00:06:05
Oh, I want to be like you.
00:06:07
I want to walk like you, talk like you
00:06:11
Kids in Africa see it
00:06:15
They see a white man in Africa who's severe, swinging from trees
00:06:24
And they see no Africans
00:06:27
And they see gorillas being the ones they relate to
00:06:29
What does that mean to an African child?
00:06:32
Is it promoting white supremacy to these black African children
00:06:36
Who watch Tarzan in a movie theater in Africa?
00:06:41
Of course it will
00:06:45
And it might be promoting it around the world.
00:06:46
I've never seen any black people in Disney's movies.
00:06:49
I can't think of any Disney movies that have black people that are good or bad.
00:06:53
When you produce a discourse as public as that, and you have that kind of power,
00:07:03
the kind of power that allows you to distribute those messages to thousands if not millions of children,
00:07:08
then you have a responsibility.
00:07:14
Oh, you must be hungry. Here you go.
00:07:16
You'd better be able to pay for that.
00:07:22
Pay?
00:07:26
No one steals from my cart.
00:07:26
Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I don't have any money.
00:07:29
Save!
00:07:32
Oh, please. If you let me go to the palace, I can get some from the sultan.
00:07:32
Do you know what divinity is, Thorstein?
00:07:36
No! No, please!
00:07:39
The merchants are unfriendly. They're mischievous and brutal.
00:07:41
One merchant tries to chop the hand of the princess because she takes an apple,
00:07:45
which goes against Islam.
00:07:51
In Islam, you are obliged to feed someone if they are hungry over and over again.
00:07:53
And that's what devout Muslims do.
00:08:00
That's what devout good merchants do.
00:08:02
And only in Saudi Arabia, if you are a thief, a real thief,
00:08:04
and after three warnings and three convictions, if you steal something, is the hand removed.
00:08:08
in one country, you know, with a population of a few million.
00:08:14
And yet they opted to use that scene.
00:08:18
It took us six months to get a meeting just to talk about the film.
00:08:21
When Arab Americans protested against derogatory stereotypes in Aladdin,
00:08:26
their concerns were first met with silence.
00:08:30
Disney responded after the issue had received widespread negative press coverage.
00:08:34
So we go to the corporal office in Burbank.
00:08:38
And we sit there, and maybe 15 minutes into the meeting, I won't mention the gentleman's name,
00:08:42
but he accused us, the three of us, of drumming up negative publicity against the film.
00:08:49
And it was only months after that meeting that they changed part of the lyric.
00:08:56
But Disney still kept the line, it's barbaric, but hey, it's home,
00:09:01
which prompted the New York Times to write an op-ed piece saying, it's racist, but hey, it's Disney.
00:09:05
When children see a movie and then try to replicate the script,
00:09:14
and there are toys that help them do that,
00:09:19
a whole line of toys that are exact replicas of what they've seen on the screen,
00:09:21
the message they're getting is,
00:09:25
kids, when you play, you're supposed to play the movie,
00:09:27
and here are toys to help you do it.
00:09:30
And because children focus on the salient dramatic,
00:09:33
the toy keeps them focused on that narrow plot.
00:09:36
And when I hear a lot of my research has had been teachers describing clay all over the world looking exactly the same.
00:09:39
And it can stay the same and fixated and not evolve and change.
00:09:48
When that happens, children learn the lessons they see in the media much more.
00:09:54
We have no obligation to make history.
00:10:00
We have no obligation to make art.
00:10:03
We have no obligation to make a statement.
00:10:05
To make money is our only objective.
00:10:08
Are they teachers or are they entertainers?
00:10:13
If they have so much power, I think it's time for them to feel some responsibility
00:10:17
to educate children about the world they really live in.
00:10:20
I really believe that as an entertainer, you have a responsibility to be a teacher as well
00:10:30
because you have someone's attention.
00:10:33
Thank you.
