Peter Pan Stereotypes
This might be a general stereotype, homosexual males being viewed as mentally ill but on the other hand, have a vast imagination and are very fashionable. However, this stereotype isn’t accurate. Having actual gay friends, they should not be viewed as mentally ill, as they have a cheerful and energetic personality. This chapter will examine the villains from five full-length animations; Peter Pan (1953), Robin Hood (1973), The Little Mermaid (1989), Aladdin (1992), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) and Hercules (1997), and see how the stereotypes are applied and being created through their commonness. The antagonist Captain Hook in Peter Pan is one of the most vicious and cunning villains. His only desire is to have revenge on Peter Pan.
