The author of Animating Revolt and Revolting Animation, Judith Halberstam, uses rhetorical strategies to speak to her point that animated movies can be used to reach a wide ranging audience to convey deep underlying messages in a way that is entertaining for all. The author points out how Pixar movies brings non-traditional characters to life and faces them against real life struggles but does so in a happy ending manor that captivates audiences. This is accomplished by the author introducing a plot line from a Pixar movie that illustrates a struggle or classic battle and then describes the characters that are in the struggle and how they live through it. The author then describes an actual real life struggle and relates it back to the animated movie.
For most of society, the word Disney elicits warm feelings: memories of early Saturday mornings with family watching cartoons, family trips to Disney World, or a movie that was so encapsulating it was watched over and over again. Disney achieves a high level of regard from most of society unparalleled by other companies. Penn State education professor, Henry A. Giroux, accompanied by Grace Pollock, argues in his book The Mouse That Roared: Disney and the End of Innocence that society is blinded by Disney’s façade of “childhood innocence” and that Disney’s marketing tactics are far from innocent at all.
The Disney Corporation has had both positive and negative effects on American society. Disney has majorly affected both the youth and adults in America by way they interact with each other, what they expect from each other, and how parents bring up their youth in harsh and unrealistic expectations according to Disney. Disney has fostered a strong sense of imagination in the past, present and future youth of America. This sense of imagination is necessary to the development of children when it comes to success in life and self-confidence. The Disney Corporation knows how to work it’s audience for a profit and mastering that skill has allowed Disney to accumulated billions by advertising and selling fantasies to young children and their parents. It’s also these very ideas that influence what Americans believe our government and policies should be founded on. In “The Mouse That Roared” the author states “Education is never innocent, because it always presupposes a particular view of citizenship, culture, and society. And yet it is this very appeal to innocence, bleached of any semblance of politics, that has become a defining feature in Disney culture and pedagogy” (Giroux 31) This quote defines Disney at large. Disney has created the idea of ‘imagination’ in American society and perpetuates it in everything America does and influences everything America stands. In everyday American life, politics and business, The Disney Corporation has a hand in it.
The Disney Corporation is a well-known media company with a variety of movies, shows, characters, and themes, but due to this varied list of topics, Disney has made many mistakes.

Disney has such a stronghold on children and their growth and development; therefore, the company’s impact on children makes an impact on how they see the world.
This, along with some of the characters, i.e. the scary looking baby doll, causes a somewhat dark and melancholy mood that lingers throughout the film, giving it a kind of film noir feeling. Like in the last two movies, a major story line of Toy Story 3 is the toys getting lost. But instead of trying to do all that they can in order to make it home as they did in 1 and 2, Toy Story 3 focuses on whether or not they should try and go home, being that there will be no one to go back to. Throughout the film, Woody is the only one who insist that going home is the only option they have because they are Andy’s toys. The film is about the consequences of disloyalty, and giving up on an imperfect relationship in order to go off and find something that is better. It is the story of a group of toys trying to live up to their responsibilities and deal with change. The toys have to deal with the fact that Andy is going to college without them, leaving them without an owner, and to a toy, not having an owner is the worst thing that can happen to you.

Pixar’s history has presented the firm with challenges and the firm has managed to overcome those challenges, anyone who plans to one day own their own business should look at the company and understand how the firm accomplished their tasks despite the presented challenges. The merger with Disney resulted in some problems for Pixar, but the merger was pursued for a reason. By merging, both firm have the potential to save time and money; there is also the potential to learn from each other.
