----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Hello. My name is Jennifer Rowland. I am currently working on my senior thesis which is an examination of different family forms in the Disney films of 1950 through 1966. In my research, I have hypothesized that although Disney presents a great variety of different family forms, the conclusions to his films suggest that the traditional form is best, strong and eternal. I am focusing on the following films: LADY AND THE TRAMP THE PARENT TRAP MARY POPPINS THE JUNGLE BOOK I have consulted works dealing both with Disney and his films and examinations of the family, including: THE DISNEY VERSION, Richard Schickel THE STORY OF WALT DISNEY, Diane Disney Miller THE ART OF WALT DISNEY, Christopher Finch HOLLYWOOD IN THE AGE OF TELEVISION, ed. Tino Balio DISNEY DISCOURSE, ed. Eric Smoodin THE WAY WE NEVER WERE, Stephanie Coontz Any suggestions for other sources of information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jennifer Rowland e-mail: [log in to unmask]
