| Resumo: | [EN] This study analyzes the representation of motherhood in Disney animated feature films. Using a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative content analysis with quantitative study, it examines a corpus of 50 films produced between 1937 and 2023. The aim is to investigate the evolution of maternal archetypes, their comparison with paternal figures, and the impact of these narratives on the construction of gender roles and family models. The findings reveal a persistent patriarchal bias: traditional stereotypes dominate, and maternal experience is often reduced to absence or antagonism, within a context of structural inequality where, across the entire corpus, only one film (Frozen, 2013) was directed or co-directed by a woman. However, over the last decade there has been a gradual shift towards more complex portrayals of motherhood and more diverse family structures, in line with contemporary social debates on gender equality and cultural diversity. This evolution highlights the role of animated cinema in shaping social imaginaries. |
