An implausible representation of the ideal female figure and mistaken racial delineations are compared in various films and princesses’ paraphernalia (Bispo, n.d., p.1). Alexia can frequently relate to her adored characters. In this way, she considers convictions in regards to her forthcoming responsibilities in the community. As Wohlwend (2009) writes, “ toys invite players to read and perform particular idealities through play”, thus children (including Alexia) learn how to act and what the life looks like through a paradigm of their playings (p. 7). Albeit, a significant number of theDisney films contain numerous unrealistic thoughts and generaliszations, various films additionally incorporate invaluable life standards.

Ridley Scott’s ‘female buddy movie’ Thelma and Louise centres around issues of male dominance and the freedom of release from society. Thelma (Geena Davis) and Louise (Susan Sarandon) are women suppressed by the men in their lives. They take a vacation to escape for a few days and after an attempted rape and murder they end up fugitives on the run for their lives. This unintended event ends up being for them the best adventure of their lives, as they are able to divest from the rules of society and become the independent women they are. By subverting the traditional role of gender in the genre, the film shows how feminism impacted the film industry by challenging Hollywood and the gendered myths and social patriarchy, providing women with a voice, and changing how spectators view how women are looked at through women’s eyes and their experiences.

Although dystopian literature and cinema are popular in our generation, they speak and tell of the many difficult things that have happened to their world due to famine and war. These are the worlds we have to come to see and imagine throughout time in literature and in cinema. Showing us of how everything turned from pleasant to unpleasant in a matter of years, days, hours, and/or minutes. But these realities and worlds are not just solely made out of the blue but rather hold some truth in society today.

Films such as Mulan, The Lion King, and Aladdin promote sexist, racist, and gender stereotypes such as accents and appearances that today’s modern world does not tolerate. The physical distinction between heroes and villains illustrated in the films subliminally teaches kids to see abnormalities as unacceptable. Disney’s moral lesson to disregard the opinions of others in order to “follow your dreams” lies under every storyline but essentially goes against the morals of foreign cultures such as

1. Introduction Being the first CGI-animated film to be rated R by the MPAA is not the only title of which Sausage Party can be proud. The irreverent movie is also the highest grossing film of its category with a box office of almost 140 million dollars as of November 2016. The openly parodic way in which the film makes fun of Pixar and Disney narrative tropes, like the singing moments and its strong critique of religious traditions, has not damaged in the slightest the response to Sausage Party, which received positive and encouraging reception both from the critics and the media press, whose only apprehension concerning the film is in the exploitative working conditions of the animators. However, this paper is not concerned neither with the actual story of the movie nor with the exploitation of the artists of Sausage Party, on the contrary, the object of this inquiry takes off exactly from the film’s most emblematic title: that of being the first CGI-animated adult movie.

Gender representation is solely created by social construction. Thus, people grow and learn by watching and doing as they see, and the common way to learn these constructions is through media. The common form of media that promotes these social views is film, and it promotes a patriarchal society. In Laura Mulvey’s article, “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema (1975),” she explains that Hollywood film creates a binary that portrays women as passive and spectacles, while men are seen as dominant, active, and are the ones that push the story along (4-5). This representation is created by the use of the male gaze, fetishizing women, and punishing women if they ever assert their power.

The media has long been recognized as important source of gender related information, television and cinema specifically influences its audience in a considerable way. (Denmark and Paludi 2008). With regards to the concept of gender cinema can offer a space where ambiguities of identities are played out; understanding the play of the categories of femininity and masculinity is very important in evaluating our own understandings of gender and how we react to different representations of it (Tasker 2002).If a film can show different individuals and we can recognize how social forces shape and constrain the individual according to classifications of gender it narrates an experience where we experience the film as gendered viewers. Film reflects and generates out own experience of gender over and above out own recognition and observation of it. (Pomerance 2001).

As feminism and gender equality are becoming more important to society, the way gender roles are depicted in literature and media are shifting to conform to society’s views. This usage of gender roles can be seen in two popular contemporary animated movies: Frozen and Spirited Away. Both of these films are geared for younger audiences and attempt to teach important life lessons, like friendship and growing up. Through closer examination of how each film portrays gender, however, Frozen appears to not be as egalitarian as many have come to believe. Comparing both films, Frozen is not very feminist as it continues to perpetuate traditional gender roles and fairytale tropes, such as love at first sight and damsels in distress, whereas Spirited
