Abstract
his master’s thesis explores the complex topic of race and racial stereotypes in Disney movies. Given Disney’s significant impact on societal values and ideals, the representation of race in the studio’s films is crucial. The thesis focuses on the Renaissance and Revival eras, analyzing changes in the portrayal of racial and ethnic differences to determine if racial inclusivity has become more prominent. The paper is divided into three sections: the studio’s history, an explanation of key concepts such as representation, identity, race, and ethnicity, and an analysis of six Disney movies. The movies selected from the Renaissance era include Aladdin (1992) and Pocahontas (1995), while those from the Revival era are The Princess and the Frog (2009), Moana (2016), Raya and the Last Dragon (2021), and Encanto (2021). While racist portrayals can be found in the earlier Disney animation, after receiving a great deal of criticism, the studio made significant changes in the production and writing of modern films. In examining racial representation in Disney films, the analysis showed that the company’s portrayal of diverse characters has changed significantly over time, reflecting broader societal changes and increasing efforts toward inclusivity.
Abstract (croatian)
Glavna tema ovog rada je analiza reprezentacije rasa u Disney animiranim filmovima. S obzirom na velik utjecaj Disney filmova u društvu, način na koji prikazuju različite rase također je iznimno važan. Rad se fokusira na analizu filmova nastalih tijekom dva razdoblja Disneyjeve produkcije kroz pojmove reprezentacije, identiteta, rase i etniciteta, a ti su filmovi Aladin (1992), Pocahontas (1995), Vaiana: Potraga za mitskim otokom (2016), Raya i posljednji zmaj (2021) i Encanto: Naš čarobni svijet (2021). Iako je rasizam prisutan u ranijim filmovima Disneyja, analiza navedenih filmova pokazala je napredak u prikazu različitih rasa i etniciteta u modernijim filmovima. Vaiana: Potraga za mitskim otokom i Encanto: Naš čarobni svijet filmovi su u kojima je promjena najočitija s obzirom da se fokusiraju na jednu kulturu i rasu dok su u ranijim filmovima pripadnici drugih rasa stavljeni u opoziciju s bijelom rasom, osim u Aladinu u kojem su glavni likovi amerikanizirani. Bez obzira na to što postoji napredak u uključivanju drugih kultura i rasa, kod filmova u kojima prikazuju različite rase Disney bi se trebao fokusirati isključivo na te rase jer ako žele pokazati da su zaista inkluzivni nema potrebe da se različite rase uspoređuju sa Zapadom, tj. bijelom rasom.
