Disney. A word that connotes childhood enjoyment‚ its messages of love and happiness influencing us for the better. This is exactly what Disney would like us to believe. Despite what they say‚ there is a sinister side to this innocence. Its messages have been corrupting our poor‚ unsuspecting children. How beauty is imperative in order to succeed in life; how only the beautiful can achieve their own ‘happy ending; how people who are less than ‘perfect’ are dark and evil. How can anyone truly feel

and the story in Mythology by Edith Hamilton have many differences and similarities. While trying to make it children friendly‚ Disney lacks in telling the full and rather brutal tale of Hercules. Hercules was brawny‚ not brainy in the real story. He is also stubborn and opinionated. He kills people for no reason at all and does stupid things to punish himself. In the Disney version‚ he is heroic (not to say he isn’t in the real myth)‚ handsome‚ and just all around a great guy. Both versions‚ although

Disney animated films‚ universally beloved by people of all ages‚ can be seen as a reflection of Western ideals on femininity throughout history. Feminist scholars have divided Disney heroines into four groups: The Classics‚ The Good Daughters‚ The Princesses‚ and The Tough Girls. We’re going to tackle each group one at a time‚ and it’s only fair to start with the ones who started it all: Snow White‚ Cinderella‚ and Aurora.

My addiction to Disney was inevitable from the day I was born. Each of my parents went to Disney when they were younger and it served as a common bond between them.

Among media targeted at kids‚ Disney films have a considerable

Disney movies shaped almost all of our childhoods and I think we all know the story of Cinderella. She’s a girl with two evil stepsisters and an evil stepmother who has a fairy godmother who gives her a dress until midnight‚ and then she loses her glass slipper and Prince Charming falls in love with her. The Disney stories we heard as kids aren’t even close to the more disturbing original versions of them. The classic story of Cinderella is sweet and has the “Fairy Tale Ending” that every little
