Sumario:The use of lms in the classroom is not new, as they promote critical thinking and rejection (Prats, Lluis. 2005. Cine para Educar. Barcelona: Belacqua). However, their role in promoting inclusive values with young learners remains relatively unexplored. Films have been considered a powerful pedagogical tool that helps students be in contact with the Other, creating new feelings of understanding and emotional attachment (Saito, Haito. 2010. Actor-Network Theory of Cosmopolitan Education. Sociological Theory 29 (2), 124,149). In the present work, the pedagogical potential of three Disney-Pixar lms is explored to educate young learners in inclusive values related to diference and diversity. Todo this, the authors perform a formal analysis using eight key elements linked to inclusive education and the Spanish curriculum for infant education. Results show that these elements are present, with a higher predominance of portraying diferent races or ethnicities, and the display of border transgressions,demonstrating they may enhance young learners learning of inclusive values in the classroom.
