{"product_id":"9780803235120","title":"That's All Folks?: Ecocritical Readings of American Animated Features","description":"\u003cbr\u003eAlthough some credit the environmental movement of the 1970s, with its profound impact on children’s television programs and movies, for paving the way for later eco-films, the history of environmental expression in animated film reaches much further back in American history, as \u003ci\u003eThat’s All Folks?\u003c\/i\u003e makes clear. \u003cp\u003eCountering the view that the contemporary environmental movement—and the cartoons it influenced—came to life in the 1960s, Robin L. Murray and Joseph K. Heumann reveal how environmentalism was already a growing concern in animated films of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. From Felix the Cat cartoons to Disney’s beloved \u003ci\u003eBambi\u003c\/i\u003e to Pixar’s \u003ci\u003eWall-E\u003c\/i\u003e and James Cameron’s \u003ci\u003eAvatar\u003c\/i\u003e, this volume shows how animated features with environmental themes are moneymakers on multiple levels—particularly as broad-based family entertainment and conveyors of consumer products. Only Ralph Bakshi’s X-rated \u003ci\u003eFritz the Cat\u003c\/i\u003e and R-rated \u003ci\u003eHeavy Traffic\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCoonskin\u003c\/i\u003e, with their violent, dystopic representation of urban environments, avoid this total immersion in an anti-environmental consumer market. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShowing us enviro-toons in their cultural and historical contexts, this book offers fresh insights into the changing perceptions of the relationship between humans and the environment and a new understanding of environmental and animated cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UNP - Nebraska","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011376300272,"sku":"9780803235120","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780803235120_p0.jpg?v=1763724891","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780803235120","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
