movie discussion

You must answer all of the questions below, cite at least 3 readings (AuthorLastName PublicationYear, Page #), provide examples from the films, and apply an intersectional framework in your initial post. You will not see classmates’ posts until you have submitted your initial post.

Thinking about race, class, and gender, discuss one positive (or improving) element and one negative (or not-quite-there) element in Princess and the Frog. Connect your ideas to one of the films that we have watched since Week 5 and at least two of the readings.
What additional chapter from Diversity in Disney Films did you choose to read? How did it help deepen your analysis of any of the films from the term? You can talk about any film even if the chapter didn’t address it directly. For example, if the chapter talked about Quasimodo but it made you think about Scar’s injury, talk about that.
In a sentence or two share what you are creating for your final project and your revised thesis statement. Also share how your project is recognizing the danger of a single story; how will your creative project or paper challenge a single narrative? Remember, your thesis statement should be specific to your project and specific about the content you are working with. (“Challenging gender roles” is not specific enough. “Challenging the ways that girls are supposed to fall in love with princes” is.)
