By highlighting the links between cosmopolitanism and inclusive education, this book explores the potential of 21^st-Century Disney films to tackle some contemporary social and cultural issues in order to promote inclusive values. This manuscript claims that the link between both fields is cosmopolitan education, which brings together the values and theories of cosmopolitanism and inclusive education. In particular, it examines three 21^st-Century Disney animated films under a cosmopolitan lens to explore how they help to construct and reflect discourses about cosmopolitan issues such as geographical and cultural borders, global cities and climate change. The case studies were chosen on the basis of the Index for Inclusion: A Guide to School Development Led by Inclusive Values (Booth and Ainscow 2016), a document that aims to provide a new form of school curriculum adapted to 21^st-Century social needs. The Index contains a list of sixteen inclusive values, which were used to determine the inclusive potential of the films. The inclusive values explored in each of the analyses were «community» in Tinker Bell and The Secret of the Wings, «respect for diversity» in Zootopia , and «sustainability» in WALL-E. This book uses textual analysis to explore how these three films can be used to teach and promote cosmopolitan issues such as the roles and meanings of borders, the global city and ecology in the classroom.
