I found this link while doing research for our group presentations on how the media influences us. Although we didn't go in this direction, this article relates to the Christensen reading. This piece talks about the negative effects of Disney movies but I like how it wasn't about the portrayal of the female characters in them. The author talks more about how the authority figures are presented in these films. They are generally seen as overbearing and protective and sometimes somewhat unintelligent and demanding. I have never thought about that aspect of these movies so I found this article to be interesting.

I also came across this article when doing research for my group's media presentation. I found it very helpful and eye opening to the negative effects of Disney cartoons outside of the typical few we always think of.
