A great example of being punished for falling in love are Cupid and Psyche. Venus was so jealous of Psyche’s beauty she tried to put a spell over her and make her fall in love with an awful beast (Hamilton, 97). When that didn’t work she made her do impossible tasks (Hamilton, 102). Hera is another important instance of punishing for love. Whenever Zeus fell in love with a mortal she would punish that mortal extremely severely.
Over the past 70 years, Walt Disney Productions has produced animated feature films that have captured the heart and imagination of audiences of all ages through the magic of storytelling and imagery. Radical social shifts have occurred throughout these years and the social norm has not always been of the utmost benefit to all genders or racial creeds. To refute that these ups and downs have not been captured within some Disney animated classics, as in all others forms of literature and art, would be a misconception. In the essay “All’s Not Well in Land of The Lion King,” Margaret Lazarus is of the opinion that Disney’s latest incarnation continues to reinforce stereotypes present in its past animated features. Simply because Lazarus associates
Walt Disney Company and Pixar Inc. Executive Summary: Walt Disney Company owed most of its recent success and income through its alliance with Pixar Inc. As the CG technology was changing the animation industry and supplanting the hand-drawn animation, it was apparent that Walt Disney has to get its strategy on track if it wants to remain successful. There is increasing competition from other production houses and Disney’s successful relationship with Pixar is coming to an end as the contract is about to expire. There is little scope for future collaboration that has been created by the newly appointed CEO of Disney, Robert Iger. Although a line of communication has been opened between the two companies after the fallout in 2004, Robert Iger has to decide between creating/renewing the deal and acquiring Pixar altogether. The following write-up is an analytical review of the situation and suggests possible ways of handling the situation from the perspective of Walt Disney Company.
The film does, however, convince the audience that the characters are firm believers in the gods. A simple understanding that cinematic appeal has an impact upon the production of the film shows how the film lacks dominant aspects of Homer’s work. Thetis, however, goddess of the sea and Achilles’ mother, is present in Troy, but not as a goddess, as a true character. Thetis strives to influence her son Achilles, promoting his participation in the war. Thetis’ role in the Iliad proves to be significant as she reminds Achilles of his mortality.

Darryl Williams Professor Schutte English 101 CRB March 7, 2011 Inside the Storyboards of Disney Gender issues have been around for hundreds and hundreds of years. The struggle of stereotyping males and females seem to be a feat that humans still have not accomplished to this day. Gender issues have evolved over the times for better and worse. Currently in the 2000s they do not put it in your face too much but it was not always like that. Actually, one of the pioneers for putting gender issues out in society is Disney.
Examples include, Florida, California, Tokyo, Paris and Hong Kong. Being such a large corporation, much controversy has occurred examining whether Disney has been dominating other countries and taking away from their culture. By expanding globally, it has been known to decrease cultural traditions, authenticity, and pollute the environment, with their own beliefs and ideas. However, it also offers other cultures an entertainment factor that provides joy and happiness to families, along with boosting the economy.

Meanwhile, its film production division began to experience large losses, as long as the management was closed to the new opportunities of media and cinema trends and was used to looking back and wondering what Walt Disney would do. By the early 1980s, much of the film industry had started to adjust to the introduction of cable and home video as new opportunities for distribution of theatrical motion pictures, plus opportunities for new investments. The Disney Company made a few moves in this direction, with the launching of the Disney Channel but without sufficient success. Another Disney’s division – the consumer products – could have been developed better, but it was getting less attention on the part of the management. The Disney Company without the confident leader showed itself as inflexible in quick responding to

Disney overlooked the general attitude of its customers by failing to notice the negative perception its target audience may have on America and its culture (Hartley 233-235). Tied to that is Disney's overconfidence; there is overconfidence in the power of Disney overseas by expanding too big too soon (Hartley 235-238). Disney has many different external opportunities to become more popular in Europe. One of the ways it could achieve this is a new
