Gender Inequality in Animated Films

Abstract

This study examined the gender inequality in animated films through 1990-2023 in the 150 top grossing animated films. In my paper, I focused on under representation of women through many different tests. The study that I conducted found that females are underrepresented in speaking roles. This study also describes whether films pass the Bechdel test, jobs inside and outside of the home, unrealistic body types, and sexy/revealing clothing. The under representation of women in children’s animated films can play a major role in society, how viewers see other females, and how they view other children’s animated films.
