Through spaceships, aliens, ray guns and other familiar trappings,
science fiction uses the future (and sometimes the past) to comment
on current social, cultural and political ideologies; the same is
true of science fiction in children's film and television. This
collection of essays analyzes the confluences of science fiction
and children's visual media, handling such cultural icons as Flash
Gordon, the Jetsons and Star Wars, as well as more contemporary
fare like the films Wall-E, Monsters vs. Aliens and Toy Story.
Collectively, the essays discover, applaud and critique the
hidden--and not-so-hidden--messages presented on our children's
film and TV screens.
