This book explores fictional representations and narrative
functions of animal characters in animated and live-action film and
television, examining the ways in which these representations
intersect with a variety of social issues. Contributors cover a
range of animal characters, from heroes to villains, across a
variety of screen genres and formats, including anime, comedy,
romance, horror, fantasy, and science fiction. Aesthetic features
of these works, along with the increased latitude that
fictionalized narratives and alternative worlds provide, allow
existing social issues to be brought to the forefront in order to
effect change in our societies. By incorporating animal figures
into media, these screen narratives have gained the ability to
critique actions carried out by human beings and explore dimensions
of both the human/animal connection and the intersectionality of
race, culture, class, gender, and ability, ultimately teaching
viewers how to become more human in our interactions with the world
around us. Scholars of film studies, media studies, and animal
studies will find this book of particular interest.
