So, what do you think? View YouTube.com: "These Disney Princesses Will Creep You Out, For A Good Reason" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VM9uT636o0) and/or "Domestic violence campaign uses Disney princesses" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC3j7w4FT88) and then reflect on how you feel about the use of Disney princesses in a domestic violence campaign – Is it appropriate or inappropriate to use these childhood figures to communicate an adult message? Explain.
I agree that domestic violence is a horrific and underestimated crime. Just the fact that 1 out of every 4 women will experience violence from an intimate partner is a shocking statistic, but it goes so often unreported and untreated. I think that because the disney character drawings are getting so much attentions speaks volumes to it's intent. The artist wanted to create a splash, to bring awareness. We are seeing in now if our class, news covers and articles have been reading it, and now we are all having a discussion and thinking about the issue. This is reason alone to attest to the effectiveness of the use of disney character art in a campaign. It's a though provoking subject matter, and I think the images are not obscene.
