**Movies without a true antagonist** 1. Finding Nemo 2. Bambi The antagonist, of course, is ‘Man’ – but we never see an actual character. Incidentally, “Man is in the forest” later became a code phrase in the Disney studio to indicate that Disney himself was approaching. _ **-“BB”-** _ ---

**Movies without a true antagonist** 1. Finding Nemo 2. Bambi 3. Green Book There’s no real single-person antagonist here–just the prejudice in the Jim Crow-era south, that sees protagonist Don Shirley (black) celebrated for his piano skills, while at the same time, being directed to the “little house on the prairie” when he needs to use the facilities during the intermission of his recital. There’s more to it, of course—his misadventure in a “sundown town” for example—but that about sums it up. ---

**Movies without a true antagonist** 1. Finding Nemo 2. Bambi 3. Green Book 4. Bull Durham Unusually for a sports movie, there’s nothing remotely resembling an antagonist here. It’s about the joy of love, sex, and baseball.
