“…From an artistic perspective, the presence of a biaxial set of force actuators, with reduced scalar parameters acting as cursors, may help to morph simply anatomic patterns in the context of 3D animation [46].…”

We propose a simple biaxial tensional model which is able to reproduce at a qualitative level several aspects of early stages of vertebrate morphogenesis. The model is based on subsequent excitable contractions of an orthoradial and periclinal (radial) set of contracting lines, which generate first the basic embryonic pattern (a motile tube), and second the lateral orifices such as ears, eyes, mouth, gills, etc. An important aspect of the model is the self-arresting character of the process, akin to wound healing. At later stages, the biaxial lines may also work in extension, and this generates a developmental feedback which is quadratic with respect to curvature. Graphic abstract

“…The Toy Story franchise is the third most popular film among animated films series as it has grossed $3.2 billion worldwide [1]. In addition to commercial achievement, Toy Story 1 is the first feature-length animation that adopts computer-generated imagery technology while Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4 are the winners of the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film in 2011 and 2020 respectively [2][3][4][5][6][7].…”

The Toy Story franchise deserves an in-depth gender analysis due to its commercial influence, technological contribution, and achievement in the realm of animated film. This research may contribute to a relatively complete representation of gender in animations. It argues that the Toy Story series shows a process of power transformation, namely, male power declines while female power increases. Image analysis and comparison are deployed to investigate the depiction of power relationships between male and female characters under Foucault's theory. During the process of analysing, this paper chooses the male protagonist cowboy Sheriff Woody Pride and his girlfriend shepherdess Bo Peep as the primary research subjects. It finds that the female characters were generally placed in a subordinate position compared to males in the 1990s which indicate that the portrayal of independent female characters in animated films was neglected during this period. However, the significant and dramatic change in the 2010s reveals the film market attaches more importance to female image shaping. Additionally, this could be seen as a trend of emphasizing gender equality in the animation market, that is, women and men are portrayed equally.
