Through the eyes of the general public we see The Lion King as an entertainment asset but in the eyes of Gail Robertson; a diverse ethnicity towards characters is pointed out. After watching Disney's The Lion King under critical analysis, assumptions can be made that many characters grouped together are by race. In Robertson's Snow Whitey? Stereotyping in the Magical Kingdom, he bashes the fact that within Disney movies “a world filled with racism, sexism, ageism and heterosexism” (42) has to be viewed by the parents in order to understand Disney’s views on each stereotype.

Summary - “Dry White Season” Adam Simon - CGW 4U1 Dry White Season was what I felt to be an exemplary interpretation of how native South Africans truly condemned the immoral Apartheid political system of the mid 1900’s. Though the film was quite graphic, explicit nature seemed necessary to prove how racial brutality towards the black community really did exist. I enjoyed the whole idea of a narrow-minded white man making the transition from a life of socially superior racial prejudice to become a devoted supporter of black rights. I found this really helped create a strong liberal message to aid viewers in understanding the sick intolerance of the majority of white South Africans at that time.
