Plan to use when assessing each character

"The Disney ideal is a childish fairytale and has no relevance to the real world."

Things to think of when analysing characters in Disney films:

  • Name of character (e.g Prince Charming)
  • Voice/music (tone, volume, and emphasis within key speeches)
  • Movement and gesture (how the character looks around and what gestures he makes. How does the way they move show their status?)
  • Dress/costume (what does the colour and style suggest)
  • Relationship to other characters (how does the character fit the narrative? Does he/she have relatives? Is he\she a stranger at first? Does he\she have a powerful position/is promoted to one? What do the other characters feel for him\her?)
  • Actions at key moments in the narrative (do they react positively or negatively)
  • Facial/body characteristics
