| مستخلص: | This study examined Disney studios’ portrayals of race as it relates to the physical, mental, and social characteristics of major characters (N= 319) within Disney animated films released from 1937 to 2021 (N= 59). Findings revealed most of the characters featured were portrayed as White (68.3%) whereas BIPOC characters made up 31.7% of the total. Results suggest that BIPOC characters were significantly more likely to be featured in supporting character roles, with White characters featured in both the protagonist and antagonist roles. We further observed a limited integration of characters of varying races in a singular film. |
