The reasons for Disney's recreations as constant films and literature in the past, present and future are described by her in this journal.

K F. Stone mainly focusses on Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White and compares some of their characters and endings with the ones written by the Grimm and Perrault.]]> 2019-02-12 21:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/330578170 lolipopdanielle https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/330579622 Not only does Jack Zipes discuss the fairytales and their meanings, but he relates them to the current time period they were written and their overall moral to readers. This article mentions the wars and the challenges that society went through which can be seen in these short stories.

I want to read more about why nowadays, the stories don't have such deep meanings as in wars, but the fairytales are more about fantasy and heroism such as Frozen and Brave.]]> 2019-02-12 21:29:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/330579622 lolipopdanielle https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/330580321 This movie portrays a young girl named Cinderella who finds herself living with her 2 step sisters and step mother. Her step mother is very strict (mean) and forces her to complete household tasks, in order to prevent her from going to the ball (prince's party). A fairy god mother appears and helps her get ready for the dance, where she meets the prince that falls in love with her. She must be home by 12 and therefore runs off before the prince has a change to catch her name. At the end he finds her by using her lost slipper and sees that it fits on her foot. They live happily ever after.]]> 2019-02-12 21:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/330580321 lolipopdanielle https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/331013141 Perrault takes out some unnecessary characters such as the King's wife.
The sisters interact with Cinderella at the ball which they don't do in the movie.
It is evident that Disney changed the helping animals Cinderella has in the Perrault's story.
Perrault mentions that the sisters apologized for their bad behaviour in the end and cinderella forgave them - I need to focus more on why Disney changed specific characters and even scenes from the story.]]> 2019-02-13 19:47:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/331013141 lolipopdanielle https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/331032401 This movie shows a young girl about 14 running away from home because her step mother wants to kill her in order to be the "fairest in the land". 
Here I can compare the helping animals to the Grimms version, the way the evil step mother is portrayed, and the extent she goes to to get rid of Snow White.]]> 2019-02-13 20:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/331032401 lolipopdanielle https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/331041519 Mother is seen in the beginning before she passes. (why would this be read about but not seen in movie?)
I will discuss the cruelty in making Cinderella in this story sleep in the ashes - why might this not be seen in Disney.
Why might they have used birds instead of a fairy god mother?
Discuss the step mother telling the daughters to cut off their toes to fit the shoe on = what does this say about stories compared to Disney?

The aggressive behaviour is toned down in the movie - why?]]> 2019-02-13 20:43:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/331041519 lolipopdanielle https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/331148907 This paper discusses the critical perspectives on Disney. By reading this I am able to compare some reasons of folktale stories and their changes to Disney's present movies and their negative aspects. For example, in this article it mentions that numerous amounts of adults go watch these movies in theatre without the company of a child. The question here is, are these movies portraying the world as it should be to children or are they understanding the film in unhealthy ways - such as women need to be saved or women need to be beautiful.]]> 2019-02-14 04:43:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/331148907 lolipopdanielle https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/331149664 Compared to the liver, again I see that folktales were more gory = here the evil queen wanted proof of Snow White being dead so she asked the huntsman for Snow's lungs and liver, whereas in the movie she just wants her heart.

Possibly the parts where the evil queen is disguised as a poor woman who is selling things other than an apple was taken out for its relevance as silk doesn't seem as tempting as an apple to children. ]]> 2019-02-14 04:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/331149664 lolipopdanielle https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/331150290 In this movie the there is one fairy that is evil (compared to the 13 in Perrault) who comes to the party uninvited and curses the princess.

Disney adds comic relief with three good fairies that take care of Aurora before her 16th birthday, instead of her falling into endless sleep like the stories.
I need to focus more on possible other reasons that these other fairies were added, and the extra content of Aurora growing up - possibly to get the children or even young adults more connected with her character before she falls into endless sleep.]]> 2019-02-14 04:53:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/331150290 lolipopdanielle https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/331150810 13 fairies are seen in this story instead of 1, 12 invitations were given out > showing the significance and reasoning behind why one of them was not invited.
In this story, there is an old man who once told the prince not to go near the thorns, but the prince mentions he is not afraid. This could relate to other more hidden messages of today but more overt messages to children in the past. (I need to look more into the reasoning behind the changes in content)]]> 2019-02-14 04:57:01 UTC https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/331150810 lolipopdanielle https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/331385805 Under each resource I included a brief summary about what I learned as well as what I still need to focus on.

The main topic I will be focusing on are the reasons why Disney might have changed folktales when recreating them into movies. It is clear that the time period is not the only reason, but it is also due to the audience type they were trying to reach (Example: K F. Stone)

I will still need to research more about what would happen if the same amount of "cruelty"/aggressive behaviour would have stayed the same and been portrayed in these films.]]> 2019-02-14 16:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lolipopdanielle/qpy6gbf7tpwv/wish/331385805
