Two comparisons that will be made in my story will be the main focus on the frog character and how time is such a big setting or difference from one story to the other.…

    The common fairytale portrays the stereotypical “damsel in distress,” who is helpless until her male savior typically rescues her. Many fairytales address the theme of gender roles as well as many others. The female character takes on the feeble, desolate role, while the male character takes on the strong, hero role similar to the stories of Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. However, Elizabeth, the protagonist of The Paper Bag Princess defies typical gender roles as a female character and becomes the hero of the story. Cinderella and The Paper Bag Princess share many qualities, but have major differences as well. Cinderella is an example of a woman who occupies traditional, domestic roles, but she does not portray the modern, liberated woman Elizabeth exhibits.…

    Growing up I can remember how I felt after watching the Cinderella story. Inspired by the rags-to-riches fairy tale, I can remember hoping that maybe someday I could be like Cinderella. I never imagined the story I knew all-too-well would have been dramatically altered from its original version. Though the lesson remains the same, comparisons reveal numerous differences between Walt Disney’s Cinderella to the earlier Charles Perrault’s “Cinderella: Or the Glass Slipper”. Variations are noticed in characters, events, and outcomes of this world-famous…

    In all of the movies that we had watched in class, Aladdin and The Little Mermaid has the best relationship between comparing and contrasting. In both of the movies, there is one daughter in each movie who rebelled to find their true love.

Not only the daughters whom rebelled, but, the main villain in each of the movies also share a similarity for how they hunger for power. Although the villain may grew into a giant monster, they were too obsessed with their power that they didn't realize what kind situation they were in.…

    Then one evening, as I was having my usual mother-daughter talk with Rapunzel, the prince had the nerve to climb up the tower. I guess some people think just because they have money and power that they can do whatever they want. Anyway, when the prince climbed in the window, he accidently fell on my gardening rake and poked his eyes out. I ran for help, but by the time I came back with a doctor, the prince was gone.…

    ‘Disney restyles ‘Rapunzel’ to appeal to boys’ is an article written by Dawn.C Chmielewski and Claudia Eller, writers of Los Angeles Times. As this article is published in Los Angeles Times, its main audience would be the general public. In this article, Chmielewski and Eller (2010) argue about how Disney directors are changing the name of ‘Rapunzel’ to less gender-specific titles to draw in a bigger audience. While I feel that Chmielewski and Eller have provided a refreshing insight of how the title of a movie could have a significant impact on ticket sales, the evidence provided is unsubstantial, unreliable and self-contradictory.…

The orphan girl, Anne, has a kindred spirit that fills the hearts of the people of Avonlea. Her passion, enthusiasm, and imagination are captured in the 1984 film version directed by Kevin Sullivan.

    Imagine if a Disney movie and horror movie were compared, they would almost be identical if you followed Joseph Campbell's theory. The reason this is true is because Campbell's theory consist of three main components: departure, initiation, and the return. A Disney movie such as The Little Mermaid follows the Hero’s Journey because Ariel, the main character of the story, was born as the youngest mermaid princess out of her other siblings. Later on, she wanted to become a human to marry a prince that she fell in love with, and then decided to stay living on land while being married to her prince named Eric.…

    Every little girl pretends to be a princess and prances around imagining a prince charming. Even when they grow up and become a woman, they're still waiting for that prince to come sweep them off their feet, so they can fall crazy in love and live happily ever after. This fantasy is much because of Walt Disney movies such as "Sleeping Beauty", "Snow White", "Cinderella", "Little Mermaid", and many others. These stories have been passed down for centuries and numerous versions exist today. There are many interpretations of the stories and their meanings that most people don't even recognize. Though the stories all seem different, some of them still have similar meanings. "Snow White" and "Sleeping Beauty" are two stories that have a common meaning.…

    Most Americans could say that they have at least heard of Cinderella and her fairy godmother. In the German Version of Cinderella, “Aschenputtel,” there is no Fairy godmother. In “Aschenputtel,” Cinderella’s mother tells her “Dear child, remain pious and good, and then our dear God will always protect you, and I will look down on you from heaven and be near you." Later in the story Cinderella asks her father to bring home the first twig that brushes his hat. When given the twig Cinderella takes it to her mother’s grave and it grows into a magnificent tree. Cinderella then prays under the tree and pigeons and turtledoves bring Cinderella anything she wishes. These birds represent Cinderella’s mother’s spirit watching over her poor daughter. Animals, such as birds and mice, also appear in the Disney classic, but are more aides then guardians to Cinderella. These animals are introduced as humorous instead of saviors in the Disney version. The animals help her clean the house and do chores. Later on they also are transformed into steeds and drivers to take Cinderella to the ball. These differences give each story its lighter and darker feelings and dynamics affecting the readers’ emotions towards the animals and Cinderella.…
