espanolEsta investigacion analiza la figura femenina y masculina en 11 peliculas de animacion de las factorias Disney, Pixar y DreamWorks. Se busca aportar informacion sobre la existencia de roles sexistas y discriminatorios en peliculas que pueden ser utilizadas como recurso didactico y comprobar si son un modo de transmision de contravalores que comprometan la socializacion en igualdad de genero de la infancia. La investigacion se ha llevado a cabo utilizando un enfoque cualitativo de analisis de contenido, a traves de un registro analitico elaborado ‘ad hoc’, para conocer en que porcentaje esta representada la figura femenina, su relacion con otros personajes y las tramas argumentales asociadas a cada protagonista en funcion de su genero. Los resultados revelan que existe un desequilibrio en la representacion femenina y masculina y que se identifican comportamientos sexistas que perpetuan la tradicional imagen social de mujeres y hombres. Se muestran dos nuevos estereotipos: la rebeldia de genero y el alarde de excepcionalidad. Se concluye que estas peliculas no son un recurso optimo para potenciar los valores de igualdad propios de una escuela coeducativa, a menos que los docentes junto al alumnado, realicen un analisis critico con perspectiva de genero durante su proyeccion en el aula EnglishThis research analyzes the female and male characters in 11 movies for children produced by Disney, Pixar, and DreamWorks. It seeks to provide useful information on the existence of sexist and discriminatory roles in films that are commonly used aspedagogical materials and to discover if this material rather than helping professionals in educating children for gender equality, becomes a means by which children may learn counter values. The study has been carried out using a qualitative approach and content analysis has been followed in order to access the percentage of femalecharacters in the films, its relationship with other characters and the plot patterns that are given to each main character depending on their gender. Results reveal that there is an unequal representation of female and male characters, and gender stereotypes and sexist behaviors that perpetuate the roles and traditional social image endorsed to women and men are identified. As conclusion, it can be argued that these films cannot be considered as educational resources that promote that gender equality values that characterize any coeducational experience at the school unless both teachers and children undertake a critical analysis with a gender perspective during the film screening in the classroom
