A qualitative comparative content analysis of gender roles in both Frozen I and II. The study of the two films in a broad content analysis of gender through 4 codes of emotion, traditional gender traits, role within the film, and the aesthetic perception of the characters. Language is used to pluck out the occurrences of these features, and useful theory in gender representation is used to categorise these between typically feminine and masculine. Also looks in detail at past linguistic research into gender role representation in Disney animation, so would be useful as an overview of the topic.
