| description | The film "Hercules", by Walt Disney Animation Studios, portrays the course of this Greek hero to return to Mount Olympus, home of the gods, from where he was taken as a child. Although originally released in 1997, it was re-released on Blu-ray in 2014 and retransmitted by Cinemark in Brazil in 2017, which demonstrates its relevance to the studies of the universe of the body. In the present study, through the movie analysis, we aim to understand the representations of body and gender used in the film. During the plot, we identified various icons and messages about valid and acceptable bodies disseminated to the child audience, strictly connected to normative and coercive precepts of body and its masculinities. |
