Pike\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book takes an ecrocritical approach to analytical readings of animated feature films, short subjects and television shows. Beginning with the \"simply subversive\" environmental messages in the \u003ci\u003eFelix the Cat\u003c\/i\u003e cartoons of the 1920s, the author examines \"green\" themes in such popular animated film efforts as \u003ci\u003eBambi\u003c\/i\u003e (1942), \u003ci\u003eThe Simpsons Movie\u003c\/i\u003e (2007), \u003ci\u003eWall-E\u003c\/i\u003e (2008) and \u003ci\u003eHappy Feet\u003c\/i\u003e (2008), as well as James Cameron's live action\/animation blockbuster \u003ci\u003eAvatar\u003c\/i\u003e (2009). The discussion extends beyond American films to include the works of Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki, including the Oscar-winning \u003ci\u003eSpirited Away\u003c\/i\u003e (2002). Also evaluated for their pro-ecological content are the television cartoon series \u003ci\u003eSouth Park\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFuturama\u003c\/i\u003e.
