I chose the movie Twilight because in the movie an ordinary woman gets saved by a handsome vampire man a few times showing and he even states in the movie "Can you at least watch where you are going" when she slips, In the clip I have chosen he saves her from a group of drunk men which gives the look that she couldn't take care of herself if she were given the chance. The movie makes Bella look frail and in need of a strong Vampire man to protect her. This stereotype shows that men have to protect women from everyday things or from other people.

The film I selected was 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame'. The movie suggests that having a disability or being physically impaired should warrant you lessened quality of life. Throughout the movie, Quasimodo, is locked away as the bell-ringer in the Cathedral. He is treated as though his intelligence is only capable of ringing a bell. He is told he is "ugly" and labeled a "monster". A child would believe this stereotype because most children believe what they are taught. The town feeds into the narrative that he is a monster and portray Quasimodo as a negative person when telling their children about him. His physical appearance is not that of a 'normal' profile; so naturally children would question.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame, historical novel by Victor Hugo, originally published in French in 1831 as Notre-Dame de Paris ("Our Lady of Paris").

Plot summary

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is set in Paris during the 15th century. The story centres on Quasimodo, the deformed bell ringer of Notre-Dame Cathedral, and his unrequited love for the beautiful dancer La Esmeralda. Esmeralda, born Agnès, is perceived to be a French Roma girl. Her biological mother is a former prostitute once known as Paquette la Chantefleurie but now known as Sister Gudule; her paternity is unknown. Fifteen years before the events of the novel, a group of Roma kidnapped the infant Agnès from her mother's room. Esmeralda has no knowledge of her kidnapping: she lives and travels with the Roma as if she is one of them. Quasimodo first meets Esmeralda at the Feast of Fools, an annual festival parodying ecclesiastical ritual and cardinal elections. During the festival, Quasimodo is elected "Pope of the Fools" and subsequently beaten by an angry mob. Esmeralda takes pity on him and offers him a drink of water. Quasimodo thereafter falls in love with the dancer and decides to devote himself to protecting her.

Unbeknownst to Quasimodo, two other men vie for Esmeralda's affection: Quasimodo's adoptive father, Archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, and the womanizing captain Phoebus de Châteaupers. Esmeralda, for her part, has fallen hopelessly in love with Captain Phoebus. When he asks her to meet him in secret late one night, she enthusiastically agrees. That night Phoebus tries to persuade Esmeralda to sleep with him. From a closet in Phoebus's room, a disguised Frollo spies on the couple. After he sees Phoebus kiss Esmeralda's shoulder, the archdeacon, in a fit of jealous rage, breaks down the closet door and stabs Phoebus in the back. Phoebus collapses before he can see his assailant. Esmeralda too loses consciousness, and Frollo escapes, leaving Esmeralda as the only suspect for the attempted murder.

Esmeralda is quickly captured by the king's guard. Master Jacques Charmolue presides over her trial. Charmolue sentences her to death after she falsely confesses to witchcraft and to murdering Phoebus. (Esmeralda is unaware that Phoebus is alive.) Quasimodo attempts to shelter Esmeralda in Notre-Dame, but he is ultimately unable to save her. Frollo betrays Quasimodo and Esmeralda by taking Esmeralda from the cathedral and releasing her to an angry mob of Parisians. Shortly thereafter Esmeralda is hanged, and Quasimodo, in his grief and despair, pushes Frollo from the cathedral tower. The novel ends many years later, when two skeletons-that of a hunchback and that of a woman-are found embracing in Esmeralda's tomb. Hugo reports that Phoebus also came to a tragic end: "He married."

Central themes

Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre Dame considers what it means to be a monster. The novel makes Quasimodo's defining characteristic his physical monstrosity, and his entire identity is constructed around being perceived as a monster. He is described by one of the women of Paris as a "wicked" ugly man. Several characters suggest that he is some kind of supernatural being that prowls around Paris, casting spells on its citizens. Quasimodo is juxtaposed with the dashing Captain Phoebus, who shares his name with the Greco-Roman god of the Sun. Phoebus is described as an imposing young man, "one of those handsome fellows whom all women agree to admire." Yet it is Quasimodo-not Captain Phoebus-who attempts to save Esmeralda and who ultimately kills the archdeacon, thereby ending his reign of terror.

Esmeralda is also perceived as a kind of monster. Although she is not, in fact, a Rom, she is seen and treated as one. In The Hunchback of Notre Dame the Roma are associated with witchcraft and the supernatural. They are viewed as exotic outsiders and are said to practice magic, possess satanic goats, and kidnap Parisian children among other things. Frollo exploits their association with the supernatural to sanction a Roma purge, just as Charmolue uses it to authorize Esmeralda's execution.

The novel condemns the society that heaps misery on the likes of Quasimodo and Esmeralda. In the end, Hugo indicates that the real monsters are not Quasimodo and Esmeralda but Frollo and Phoebus.

Context and reception

The cathedral Notre-Dame de Paris is one of the most enduring symbols of the French capital city. Hugo conceived of The Hunchback of Notre Dame as a story of the cathedral itself and devoted two chapters of the novel to describing it. He focused primarily on the Gothic architectural elements of the structure, including its flying buttresses, clerestory windows, and stained glass. Hugo identified Gothic architecture as the bearer of the cultural heritage of France and argued that, as such, it should be protected. At the time that the novel was written (between 1828 and 1831), Paris was verging on major changes that cumulatively threatened to destroy much of its cultural heritage. The French Revolution had resulted in the desacralization, decay, and consequent destruction of many Gothic cathedrals and churches. In the July Revolution of 1830, the French people expressed a desire to liberate themselves from the past. This uprising was driven by a condemnation of the forms and institutions associated with the traditional monarchical regime, and its leaders sought a new way forward.

In The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hugo recreates the vibrant, intense atmosphere of 15th-century life to remind his readers of the splendour and significance of Paris's Gothic past. The book doubles as a plea for the preservation of the city's historic Gothic architecture (and thus its heritage). His plea was met with great success. The first printing, by publisher Charles Gosselin, was distributed in four issues of 275 copies each, and the novel was instantly, incredibly popular. Many thousands of printings followed. The Hunchback of Notre Dame circulated widely, inspiring illustrations by lithographers, painters, book illustrators, and even cartoonists. Images from the novel (especially images of the cathedral) became known to individuals at all levels of society. Notre-Dame de Paris became a French national icon, and the proliferation of images of the cathedral helped revive the use and prestige of Gothic forms. An extensive program of renovation, overseen by French restoration specialist Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc, was undertaken in the mid-1840s, and in the latter half of the 19th century Gothic monuments began to regain their religious significance.

Adaptations

The Hunchback of Notre Dame has been adapted several times for the stage and screen. One of the most notable film versions was directed by William Dieterle; it was released in 1939 and starred Charles Laughton and Maureen O'Hara, though its happy ending diverged significantly from Hugo's novel. Other screen adaptations included a 1923 silent film featuring Lon Chaney and a 1956 version starring Anthony Quinn and Gina Lollobrigida. The stage musical Notre-Dame de Paris premiered in Paris in September 1998. The production reportedly had the most successful first year of any musical up to that time. A year later, Der Glöckner von Notre Dame ("The Bell Ringer of Notre Dame") opened in Berlin. Unlike it's French counterpart, the German adaptation was based on the Disney animated film The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which was released three years prior, in 1996. Although based on Hugo's novel, the animated film differs significantly from the original text. In Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Quasimodo is not dark and brooding but naïve and friendly. He craves social interaction and expresses a keen desire to make friends. Phoebus is also recast: he is a good-natured heroic soldier who returns Esmeralda's love. The film also revises the end of the novel, such that Esmeralda survives and befriends Quasimodo.

For the topic of discussion “ What children's movie do you think reinforces a negative stereotype about a particular group?” I have carefully and thoroughly selected Hercules (1997 film) for the reason of the negative stereotype it portrays on masculinity and what it means to be a man. In the movie, Hercules is played as a tall, hot, and buff male character. This example reinforces negative stereotypes about men and what it means to be masculine by the cooperation (Disney) making a statement on what masculinity looks like, and doing so by presenting an unattainable high standard for boys and men which alienates a large demographic of boys and men. In doing so, they are causing boys to struggle with body image issues and making them feel out of place from their own gender. Although Hercules is a fan favourite Disney movie, it reinforces negative stereotypes on what it means to be masculine.

The movie I have chosen is the Disney movie "Maleficent".
One stereotype that it sets for girls today is that a young girl gets her heart broken by a prince and after he breaks her heart she seeks revenge. So when he is King, and has a daughter, she kidnaps his daughter "Aurora", and raises Aurora as her own. When the king is trying to find his daughter back, maleficent fights back and ends up loosing the love and respect of Aurora. I think that this message would not only confuse children, but also confuse young girls as to what to do when they get heart broken, and that they might then seek revenge as well.

The movie i have choose is 2016 "Sing". The movie portrays stereo-typing and racism when it comes to the gorillas. In the movie the gorillas are "thugs" and thieves and a lot of people are seeing it as a hit to black people and how other see that race as criminals. Young children might not understand this while watching the movie but older children and well as adults would.

Disney's 1955 Lady & The Tramp characters Si and Am are depicted with outrageous cultural insensitivity and are clear examples of Japanese stereotypes such as slant eyes and bucked teeth commonly seen in WWII propaganda. Post WWII sentiment is apparent in the negative presentation of the two cats as devious and evil. This harmful representation of persons of Siam or Thai origin and the Japanese culture can colour a child's biases and may nurture fear or hatred.

The movie I have selected is Shrek 2.  In this scene of the film the stereotype of how men need to change their appearance to gain the attraction of women is clearly shown. Before Shrek was a green ogre, feared and hated by all especially women, they would scream at the sight of him and run away. But now having taken the magical potion that turns him into a man with attractive features, he is wanted by all the women that he first encounters and even more as he gets into the city. Clearly reinforcing the classic stereotype that men need to change there appearance to gain attraction from people and women. This is a very easy stereotype children, especially young boys can believe and base their entire adult life on. The example of when Shrek himself first notices all the features that make him attractive " A cute button nose, thick wavy locks, top round buttocks I'm, I'm". Then one of the women chime in "gorgeous." This can clearly make a male child and also a female child think that for a male to be attractive is to have all of those features and if you don't you aren't attractive. Although Shrek is a very humorous film series and most children have watched and enjoyed the movie/movies it touches on sensitive stereotypes that can effect a young children's mind on what is attractive and what is not attractive, therefore changes what truly is an attractive quality to a person.

Aladdin 1992

I have chosen Aladdin because the message it tells about the middle eastern area. Also because the message young girls may get from the way Jasmine is perceived to be in the movie. I feel there are many things about the setting of Aladdin(Agrabah) that may send an inaccurate message to kids/people about the way a middle eastern country truly is. In quote “ it’s barbaric, but hey, its home!”. This implies that middle eastern countries may not be a safe or lovely place to live in. Additionally Jasmine feeding orphans in the streets, implying there is a suffering to the country in a negative way that only adds to Aladdin’s previous comment “it’s barbaric”.

Secondly Jasmine is overly sexualized throughout this movie, this sends an inaccurate message to young girls about the way they may need to act towards men or to get what they want. Throughout the movie there are many scenes that display these aspects. The way jasmine is dressed as a young women to start, this is not culturally accurate to the middle east or an appropriate message for a young women. Also there are many scenes that suggest/influence this message such as, Jasmine acting seductive to distract Jafar in return he reply's by calling her “pussycat”. Also Genie’s jaw dropping when seeing Jasmine stand up. None of these scenes or others throughout the movie give kids/people a proper and accurate massage about the way middle eastern countries are or the way young girls should act.

The movie I decided to choose is Snow White and the seven dwarfs. Prince Charming, sweeping in at the last minute to save his future wife, is only attracted to her physical appearance. This is clear because she is thought to be dead when he first sees her. Prince Florian, brings her back to life by kissing her. However, since Snow White is unconscious and essentially dead during the scene, this kiss could be viewed as non-consensual and an act of assault. A child can easily catch on the concept of this. Young children can see this as its okay to kiss or touch another person without their consent. Asleep or awake.

The Little Mermaid has racist undertones and stereotypes in the popular song "under the sea". Sebastian the crab, who has a heavy Jamaican accent, sings about how great it is to live with no responsibilities insinuating that he is lazy, many people believe Disney was stereotyping that Jamaicans are lazy. Sebastian, the Duke of Soul, and other black fish characters who were voiced by African Americans were also portrayed with large oversized lips  A child would believe these stereotypes are true because they are demonstrated in characters and being sung in a catchy song.

The film i chose is lilo and stitch. In this film lilo has no parents and her older sister is her guardian. The older sister is made to seem like an unfit parent that cannot handle lilo. I think a child may thing that young parents or kids in similar situations may not be able to
parent properly nor handle it as this is what is shown in the movie.

I choose Aladdin specifically the 1992 version as it demonstrates a few different stereotypes. First being the view of Arabic people. They portray them as being vicious and cruel. Every wrong action has a very severe consequence such as cutting your hand off if you were to steal. The way you look is based on how you’re treated. Aladdin puts on new clothes and poses as royalty and is treated far better than he was as an orphan street boy. Jasmine’s father believes Jasmine will have a better life if she were to have a husband. The idea of how they make women dress in the movie is more revealing than how actual arabic women dress. I think this sends a few different messages to children. One being that Arabic culture is scary and violent. Changing your appearance to blend in makes you more liked and treated better. Having a husband means you have a good life. All stereotypes that are very hard to grasp at their ages. I think they would be more susceptible to these stereotypes from the simple fact that they use the movie to scare, excite and entertain children. More importantly, all of these stereotypes still exist in our lives today.

You may have heard the "Cinderella Complex" and we know the plot of Cinderella. It refers to the psychology of a person who wants to be protected and depend on a prince who will change their life 180 degrees when she can not stand in a high position in society due to his(prince's) background and ability. This could be used to encourage dependence for girls.

The movie I have decided to select is Ariel the Little Mermaid.  Throughout this movie the idea is given that girls should give up who they are as a person for a man. Ariel gives up her voice to be able to have human legs so she can get closer to the prince and get a kiss leaving behind everything including her family, friends, personality, etc.  Ursula tells her that men don't care about a females voice and that all you need is your body language to get by. A child would easily catch on to the concept even if they don't fully grasp it. Young boys can see this as they don't have to listen to a girl. While young girls could see this and think its okay to not speak or speak up, to which neither are okay.

The film I selected is "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". Its setting a horrible example of woman competing with other women just for a mans affection. Then at the end the only way wake Snow White is from a kiss a prince who met her one time. He played no part in the story and it shows little girls that they need a man to get out of a situation. Plus is shows little boys to be creepy, should never kiss a sleeping girl without her full consent.

The movie I chose was Dumbo. This movie has many racist and stereotypical aspects. In the movie, there is a crow named Jim Crow which is the same name as the laws that set racial segregation. This crow is voiced by a white actor. Another questionable part of this movie is the faceless black workers who are shown working while a song about working to throw their money away is playing in the background. I believe this could change a child's view on people of colour because movies like this can make a child believe that is how the world works and unless they are taught otherwise, this would be the only introduction to people of colour that a child would have.

The film I selected was Pocahontas. In the film Pocahontas becomes the colonial ideal of a “good” Indian. Her story validates the stereotypes of “good” and “bad” indians.

In my opinion, Disney's Peter Pan from 1953 withholds a lot of stereotypes. The stereotypes that a child could believe would be within the lyrics of the song, For example they call the first nations men "the red man" and first nations women are referred to as "squaw" both are racist terms towards the first nations peoples. They also have in the video, the "Big chief" smoking out of a pipe which could also be a stereotypical thing for a child to believe. Children are not overly aware that these are stereotypes/racist exploitations and are actually offensive, therefore making it easier for children to believe it is okay.
