Disney films have remained outside the critical landscape because they have been considered either beneath artistic attention or beyond reproach. The goal of this course will be to explore the issues presented in such Disney films as <i>The Lion King, Aladdin, Prince of Egypt</i>, and <i>Pocahontas</i>. To do this, we will read source material (<i>The Arabian Nights, Hamlet</i>, tales about Pocahontas, Bible stories about Moses, Exodus, etc.) and secondary studies.
