Watch the first part (at least) of Mouse Trapped 2010 and Mickey Mouse Monopoly, and explain USING SPECIFIC ELEMENTS FROM THE FILMS how they are good examples of the different approaches of political economy and cultural studies. Define each approach briefly, and CITE GROSSBERG’S ARTICLE IN YOUR RESPONSE. (100-150 words)
The videos Mouse Trapped 2010 and Mickey Mouse Monopoly both approach their negative views on Disney differently. In Mouse Trapped 2010, it uses the appealing to the viewers emotions because they are interviewing people working for Disney who are not able to sufficiently pay the bills each month. These interviews are personal as the people tell their sad stories about having trouble making a good salary. In Mickey Mouse Monopoly they use different clips of different Disney movies to expose hidden meanings and interview people that are against Disney. These movies only depend on their interviews and the information they can show, but they do not acknowledge the other side. As in Grossberg’s article Cultural Studies and Political Economy he talks about how writers only use information for their arguments that are convenient to their story.
