Entertainment, including a child’s bedtime story, is never just entertainment. Cultural products always reinforce or resist (and sometimes both at once) a society’s collective social values and belief systems. A film’s ideological meanings refer to the ideas that the film conveys about its world’s social relations, economic structures, and political institutions. Disney classics are not as timeless as Walt Disney would have liked to think; they all carry the ideological baggage of their time.
