Disney Mold

This week in class we read an article called "Too Few Animated Women Break the Disney Mold". This article overview talked about how Disney uses its cartoon characters to be sexest or racist. They portray the females as a "typical" women, worrying about her hair, or her clothes, or being the jealous type. The women in the cartoons are featured as either old or attractive but never both. There has never been an unattractive heroine that I can recall, they are always attractive.

I never really payed close attention to this in cartoons before, but now that we read this article it draws my attention. When you look back on all the clasic cartoons all of the female character are attractice, fretful, jealous, or worried about how they look. It doesn't seem very fair if you ask me. Women shouldn't have to be portrayed in a certian way.

The article mentions that the film makers have tried to fix this over the past few years by changing the colour of they cartoons to a colour other then black white or brown to avoid racism. Although they have done this it just seems like a way to avoid the problem. I don't think cartoon characters will ever not be portrayed a certain way, not saying that it is right, I just dont think it will change.
