Murray and Joseph K. Heumann reveal how environmentalism was already a growing concern in animated films of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. From Felix the Cat cartoons to Disney's beloved \u003ci\u003eBambi\u003c\/i\u003e to Pixar's \u003ci\u003eWall-E\u003c\/i\u003e and James Cameron's \u003ci\u003eAvatar\u003c\/i\u003e, this volume shows how animated features with environmental themes are moneymakers on multiple levels--particularly as broad-based family entertainment and conveyors of consumer products. Only Ralph Bakshi's X-rated \u003ci\u003eFritz the Cat\u003c\/i\u003e and R-rated \u003ci\u003eHeavy Traffic\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCoonskin\u003c\/i\u003e, with their violent, dystopic representation of urban environments, avoid this total immersion in an anti-environmental consumer market. \u003cbr\u003eShowing us enviro-toons in their cultural and historical contexts, this book offers fresh insights into the changing perceptions of the relationship between humans and the environment and a new understanding of environmental and animated cinema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robin L.
