Abstract

Understanding that cultural products for children transmit social representations and reproduce specific outlines of attitudes and behaviours, this paper focuses on the gender construction based on specific messages in children´s films. We analyze here, the 1991 Disney´s Company cartoon film «The Beauty and the best».
