Key Values of US Culture in any Disney Movie

IntroductionMovies speak volumes about(predicate) a particular subject. It is even understood that nearly gay cause pictures even hammer the point such(prenominal) clearer than their non- lively counterparts. It has been a tradition that with every(prenominal) animated movie, a corresponding moral accompanies it to the end of the credits. The ability of animated films to send out messages within the confines of its story has been sensation of the hallmarks of animated American movies.With The Lion King, the movie stresses the importance of family through the relationship of several(prenominal)(prenominal) Simba and Mufasa. It besides clearly does the same with the movie Finding Nemo as the substantial story is about a dad clown fish tries to arrive his lost son, Nemo. There are a lot of subtle undertones and value which are also placed in some animated moviessome even more poignant than the next. This paper aims to shed some pull back off on that fact. Walt Disneys Alad din, through the jinnee of the lamp, depicts enough fortune and somatic comfort, which even solidifies the classic American breathing in.The American DreamThe great American dream is defined by James Adams as the dream of a buck in which life should be better and richer and fuller for every man, with hazard for each according to his ability or achievement (Adams, 2001) It has been one of the most treasured features of the United States as the wealthiest nation on the face of this earth. It is in this particular country that dreams are made and where ones then(prenominal) is quickly covered in prosperity upon reaching this particular land. As grandiose as this claim is, the different testimonies of all disunites of people bind given justice to it on more than one occasion. If one looks most at the Walt Disney animated film, Aladdin, certain aspects of this dream are also insert in it.The GenieThe genie of the lamp in the animated film Aladdin can intend so many different things but more than anything, it is able to suggest the American values of equal opportunity and material comfort. Gleaning from the genies character, it is not as hard to associate material comfort with him. The genie of the lamp is required to fulfill absolutely any three wishes that his owner desires. With the exception of making people fall in love, killing someone or wishing for more wishes, the master of the genie is quite literally right beyond measure. One of the most memorable scenes in the movie is when Aladdin, who is in a flash already Prince Ali, parades across the passs of Agrabah. During the latter part of the song, the lyrics of the song gives testament to how more than has changed with Aladdins situationPrince AliAmorous he Ali AbabwaHeard your princess was a plentifulness lovely to seeAnd that, good people, is whyhe got dolled up and dropped byWith sixty elephants, llamas galoreWith his bears and lionsA brass band and moreWith his cardinal fakirs, his cook s, his bakersHis birds that warble on keyMake way for prince Ali (Clements, 1992)The former street rat has now become a prince because of the genie. This alludes to the fact that the genie is a very good deliver the goodsr of material comfort, should one choose to get that from him. In the same sense, the land of America is also able to provide material comfort from those who ask and willingly strive to make it happen.The coating American value, which is equal opportunity, is much more subtly expressed in the character of the genie. Since the rules of the lamp is that whenever a person gains ownership of the lamp, the genie of the lamp is now restrict to serve that person and that person only. All of the wishes of the owner of the lamp are snug by the genie. The equal opportunity clause enters here by bounteous absolutely anyone a fair shot to being rich and sizeable The only negative thing about relating this particular equal opportunity clause with the genie is that no one i s able to share that equal prosperity in such a way that the genie sort of has an exclusivity clause that does not allow him to dedicate deuce separate wishes of two different masters at the same time. (Clements, 1992) One person essential be able to wield the lamp in order for the genie to grant their wish.ConclusionLooking deeper at the animated feature film Aladdin, one sees a much more poignant picture of how America essentially is as a superpower and a proverbial land flowing with milk and honey. As the film and as this paper suggests, America is a land where one can prosper materially in terms of wealth and it is also a land where equal opportunity is stressed. As long as someone works hard enough, they will simply have twain within their lifetimes. Maybe, just maybe, you really dont need a magic lamp with a genie after all.ReferencesClements, Ron.
