Wiersma (2000) The gendered world of Disney

Examines the presentation of stereotypical gender-roles in sixteen animated Disney films. Traits observed included physical appearance, employment, societal/familial power and character traits. Mostly qualitative analysis, including discussions about relevant scenes/characters that fit particular point of analysis. No detailed linguistic analysis but would be useful for a general overview on how a large sample of Disney’s animated films portray stereotypical gender roles for both male and female characters.
