1. What are your general reactions to "Mickey Mouse Monopoly"? Do you think the filmmaker left information out of the film that is important? If so, what do you think was omitted? Are there particular points that were raised in the film that you disagree with? If so, what and why?

2. How does media conglomeration impact democracy? What does Henry Giroux say about the relationship between dissenting voices, Disney, and democracy? Do you agree? Disagree? Why?

3. Since the release of Mickey Mouse Monopoly in 2002, in what ways has Disney addressed issues of gender and race differently? Do you feel that societal changes are reflected in newer Disney films? (i.e female characters no longer being damsels in distress and/or greater visibility and depth given to characters who are of color). Are there ways in which you feel Disney could improve its representations of women and people of color?

4. Do you think Disney functions as a teacher, entertainer, or both? If Disney has so much power, should it have a responsibility to teach children about the world they live in, rather than representing a skewed version of reality and a skewed version of particular groups?
