Neither of those examples for me, are sexist. They're accurate examples of what happens in life.
The trailer shows the dad, not listening to his wife, acting dumb, daydreaming about sports, and then clumsily asserting the law with his daughter. I just thought it was lazy and not well done at all.
Maybe I'm being hypersensitive about it. It was a total turn off to bother seeing the movie though.
From the sounds of it though from reviews, it doesn't sound like a movie I'd enjoy though. It sounds like a movie created for adult movie critics rather than for enjoyment.
"princess" movies are substantially less sexist than the trailer for inside out IMHO. I guess it's just a sign of the times.
Frozen was a good movie with powerful female roles which pushed against the stereotypical princess movie. I like it. But the trailer for Inside out is just screaming "Men are dumb idiots who can't be good fathers".
I can see I'm fighting a torrent of koolaid though, so I'll leave it.
Wait - so because the world may be sexist, we should show children extremely one dimensional stereotypical mother and father figures in movies? I can't remember the last pixar/disney movie that has been so outright sexist from the outset.
But then I guess these days, it's totally fine as long as you're being sexist against men, and painting them to be idiotic uncaring imbeciles who never listen and can't do anything useful.
The trailer completely turned me off seeing the movie. I don't think I'm going to bother watching it, or showing it to my kids. Especially after "Up!" and "Wall-e" failed to deliver.
The trailer was ridiculously sexist in a way I don't think is helpful to anyone. The sexism was extremely negative IMHO. Surely you'd agree that the level of sexism shown isn't really necessary?
While we're at it, can hollywood please stop using "they've drunk too much coffee and are now 'wired'" as a joke in kids movies. Overdosing on drugs isn't all that funny...
