Sexism, Strength & Dominance: Masculinity in Disney Films.

This is a good short film about how boys and men are gendered in the Disney films a lot of us grew up on. Its scary that new generations of kids continue to absorb these images. The film also makes comparisons with how girls and women are portrayed.

Another short film, Reel Bad Arabs, deals with the Islamophobia and anti-Arab images in Disney and Hollywood, and also underscores how pervasive Islamophobia has become in US culture since 9/11. What blew my mind was some of the lyrics for the opening theme of Disney's "Alladin". I quote:

Where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face/its barbaric/but hey, its home!
