The aim of this paper is to identify and analyze the different cultural pedagogies about masculinities, offered in animated films directed to children subjects. For this, were selected two versions of the story of the bull Ferdinando, one from 1938 and one from 2017, produced by studios that currently belong to Disney. The analyzes, elaborated from the Masculinities Studies (BADINTER, 1993; CONNELL, 1995; 1997; 2016; KIMMEL, 1998), and from concept of Cultural Pedagogies (DEPORTE, 2016; DEPORTE E COSTA, 2017) emphasize hegemony, complicity, subordination and resistance as traces of the relations of power that surround the constructions of gender. In the analysis, we considered that, despite the pressure exerted by the other characters for Ferdinando to imitate hegemonic gender identities, in both filmic narratives, in different ways, the protagonist transgresses with what is expected of him as "male" and also as "bull."

Keywords : Masculinities Studies; Genre; Education; Disney.
