Abstract

Disney, as a production house and global film publisher, now appears to be heavily emphasizing woke culture values, one of which includes advocating for LGBT minorities through messages in its films. LGBT as an agenda in the woke culture movement is presented by the media in their respective styles and for example, the LGBT form of film media appears on the side actors who are gay, lesbian, bisex, transgender to queer who are present in the scope of life of the main actor of the film. This research aims to analyze and explain how Disney represents LGBT behavior in the context of film media The method used by the researcher is a literature study conducted by collecting data in the form of documents consisting of scene images and dialogue in films. During the data analysis process of the research, the author utilized Christian Metz' semiotics method to interpret the cinematic elements of the film and extract the meaning of messages in each scene Furthermore, this study is supported by the theory of multiculturalism in politics. The results obtained by the researcher are that in the film Strange Word (2022), Ethan, who is the main character, is gay and he loves his male friend named Diazo Furthermore, in the film Lightyear (2022), Commander Hawthorne is the main character's friend, Buzz Lightyear, and she is a lesbian.

Abstract

This study examines the construction of woke culture, gender, and multicultural politics in Disney’s Strange World (2022) and Lightyear (2022) using Christian Metz’s semiotic approach. The research focuses on how visual elements and cinematic structures—central to Visual Communication Design—are employed to construct LGBTQ identities and messages of inclusivity. Through the analysis of Metz’s syntagmatic categories such as scene, descriptive syntagma, and autonomous shot, the study reveals that Disney strategically constructs ideological meaning through imagery, visual narratives, and cinematic symbols. These films function not merely as narratives but as instruments of social construction that reshape public perceptions of gender and diversity. This construction process is manifested through deliberate visual techniques, character dynamics, and scene compositions that emphasize acceptance of non-normative identities. The findings demonstrate that cinematography in Disney films operates as an active visual communication tool, shaping meaning and promoting new ideological frameworks within the realm of global popular culture.
