 The Disney Pixar movie "Wall-E",even thou is a cartoon movie, it made my realize a lot of things. This movie is about a robot name Wall-E. He was a trash compactor. He was the only thing left a live on Earth.The people felt the earth because it was all cover in garbage due decades of mass consumerism. Now the people were living in a enormous ship called  "Axiom". Due to the new way of life the humans are living, they all became obese.They were always sitting in a chair that moves on his own, they were always eating and eating, they never got out of their chair by themselves because there were robots that lift them if necessarily. The robots were the ones that did every thing. The humans were always interacting with technology that they even socialize with others. Wall -E was the one that made the humans realize that their "new way of living" wasn't a good one. because of Wall-E the humans decided to change, a go back to Earth, their real home. This movie not only entertain us but also made as realize about our society issues such as, obese, contamination, the impact of technology, environment, and consumerism.


When this movie came to theater in 2008, I didn't saw it because I taught it was a kids movie even thou  a heard a lot of good comments about it.  After two years I saw the movie on television. I was amazed. This movie was incredible  it made me see the damage we are making to our planet and to ourselves. People of all ages can watch this movie. For me it was perfect to do a movie about this society issues in cartoons because, it helps the kids( who are the next generation) to see the importance of eating healthy, the importance of protecting our environment from contamination among others things. I definitely going to show this movie to my students when I become a teacher and to my kids when I become a mother. I encourage you to see the movie if you haven't.

Walt Disney is one of the biggest company in the world. It is know as a world of fantasy and innocence for kids and families.. Its movies are fascinating and are known all over the world.Disney seems prefect. Now the question come, it's really perfect?


After watching the documentary "Mickey Mouse Monopoly" my first taught was "Wow, why I didn't saw the movies with that perspective?.This documentary shifts in many ways my view of Disney. It opened my eyes to see the messages behind the movies. For example in the movie Beauty and the beast we can see violence and yelling towards the woman. In the Little Mermaid the way Ariel give up her voice so she could be with the man is likes, this shows that the outside beauty is more important that anything else to catch the attention of a man. In all of the movies women are portrait as seductive with a skinny body figure to attract men. In other hand  men are presented as the strongest, with big muscle and always defending and saving the women, as if women has to always depend on men.


One of the first things you can notice is that in there are movies that black people doesn't appear at all, and in the movies that they do appear they are the bad ones of the movie. This is an aspect of racism  black are portrait as inferior or as the malicious onesWhat about advertisement? The movies itself encourage you to bye stuff about the movies. In the movie Hercules we can see advertisement within the movie. We can see how Hercules is promoted in order to be famous and sales souvenirs about him. 


Over all, Disney movies always transmit a message to its audience some good and others not so good. This documentary encourage me to see movies more than for pleasure and to see the message behind them.

In this cartoon we can see a boy with his mother walking through the mall. The boy points out to a fat man think he is Santa Claus, but her mother told him "No, honey, they're not santas....they're Americans". The cartoon represents the Americans as obese due to the bad eating habits.
