This book examines the popular and critically acclaimed films of
Pixar Animation Studios in their cultural and historical context.
Whether interventionist sheriff dolls liberating oppressed toys
(Toy Story) or exceptionally talented rodents hoping to fulfill
their dreams (Ratatouille), these cinematic texts draw on popular
myths and symbols of American culture. As Pixar films refashion
traditional American figures, motifs and narratives for
contemporary audiences, this book looks at their politics - from
the frontier myth in light of traditional gender roles (WALL-E) to
the notion of voluntary associations and neoliberalism (The
Incredibles). Through close readings, this volume considers the
aesthetics of digital animation, including voice-acting and the
simulation of camera work, as further mediations of the traditional
themes and motifs of American culture in novel form. Dietmar Meinel
explores the ways in which Pixar films come to reanimate and
remediate prominent myths and symbols of American culture in all
their cinematic, ideological and narrative complexity.
