Description

This book takes an ecrocritical approach to analytical readings of animated feature films; short subjects and television shows. Beginning with the ldquo;simply subversiverdquo; environmental messages in the Felix the Cat cartoons of the 1920s; the author examines ldquo;greenrdquo; themes in such popular animated film efforts as Bambi (1942); The Simpsons Movie (2007); Wall-E (2008) and Happy Feet (2008); as well as James Cameronrsquo;s live action/animation blockbuster Avatar (2009). The discussion extends beyond American films to include the works of Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki; including the Oscar-winning Spirited Away (2002). Also evaluated for their pro-ecological content are the television cartoon series South Park and Futurama. The appendix provides a list of film and television titles honored with the Environmental Media Award for Animation.
