Most of us grew up watching Disney movies featuring lots of animal characters. But what is problematic about the way Disney portrays animals? How did the portrayal of animals change over time? And why is Remi from Ratatouille so much better than Mickey Mouse? In this episode, media scientist Maarten Reesink answers these questions and tells us about the history of human-animal studies. In this episode, we explore how animals are portrayed in audio-visual media, like the Tulkun in Avatar 2, cat videos on Instagram, or happy cows in dairy commercials.
