Myths are the identity of a nation and it is noteworthy to its own nation's people and the international community.Myths controllers and flow makers. Heroic journey is a pattern which most of thinkers including mythologists have considered it one of people who has studied the myth of the hero seriously, is Joseph Campbell. The filmmakers have imagined 'Hero's and Heroine's Journeys' identically under the influence of Campbell's model and displayed it on cinema screen. Although the major part of this journey is the same for all humans and we are shared in facts of birth, growth and death, we possess different cycle, rhythm and needs. The mythical structure by which Joseph Campbell has written book of 'A hero with a thousand faces' is classic and formal technique that has affected research- ers and scenarists in the fields of animation. Maureen Murdock has explained a new and more different structure for Heroine's Journey in his book titled 'Heroine's Journey', which has been published under title of 'Femininity Depth' in Iran and he has addressed female wishes, needs and concerns. This study has compared two models of hero's and heroine's journeys with an applied objective in order to reveal similarities and differences between Campbell's and Murdock's models under title of masculine and feminine theory in dramatic works. The methodology of this study is of qualitative type by means of comparative study; thus, in order to reveal differences and similarities between hero and heroine based on the proposed theories, 'Brave' and 'Spiderman' animations have been selected as case stud- ies using purposive choice method and application of these patterns will be compared and explored and analyzed in both animations. The given finding suggests that hero's journey is done in linear or circular form while heroine's journey occurs in cyclic or spiral form inside and outside.
