In the second edition of The Idea of Nature in Disney Animation,
David Whitley updates his 2008 book to reflect recent developments
in Disney and Disney-Pixar animation such as the apocalyptic tale
of earth's failed ecosystem, WALL-E. As Whitley has shown, and
Disney's newest films continue to demonstrate, the messages
animated films convey about the natural world are of crucial
importance to their child viewers. Beginning with Snow White,
Whitley examines a wide range of Disney's feature animations, in
which images of wild nature are central to the narrative. He
challenges the notion that the sentimentality of the Disney
aesthetic, an oft-criticized aspect of such films as Bambi, The
Jungle Book, Pocahontas, Beauty and the Beast, and Finding Nemo,
necessarily prevents audiences from developing a critical awareness
of contested environmental issues. On the contrary, even as the
films communicate the central ideologies of the times in which they
were produced, they also express the ambiguities and tensions that
underlie these dominant values. In distinguishing among the effects
produced by each film and revealing the diverse ways in which
images of nature are mediated, Whitley urges us towards a more
complex interpretation of the classic Disney canon and makes an
important contribution to our understanding of the role popular art
plays in shaping the emotions and ideas that are central to
contemporary experience.
