Comparing Disney's Cinderella And Beauty And The Beast

The story of the Beauty and the Beast is well known amongst all ages. Though the story they portray in the Disney version is much different than what they have portrayed it in France. La Belle et la Bête has been produced twice, once in 1946 and again in 2014. These two movies tell the same story but in very different ways. The perception of this story has changed between the different time periods.

The fairy tale helps the child to understand a balance between the good and the evil; it gives him a hope for a good future.” Fairy tales assure the

In Tatar’s article, An Introduction to Fairy Tales, she draws us in by describing childhood books as “sacred objects.” She takes a quote from Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. describing how the stories give lessons about what a child subconsciously knows - “that human nature is not innately good, that conflict is real, that life is harsh before it is happy - and thereby reassure them about their own fears and their own sense of self,” (Tatar 306). She describes how many adults long for the simplicity of enjoying those stories in their childhoods, only to realize that they outgrew them, and instead have been introduced to reality. The original stories were more for adults rather than for children. Nowadays, stories have been adapted to be more suitable for children. Fairy tales may allow a kid to wonder due to their charm, but they also can

Throughout the years there have been many versions of the classic tale, “Cinderella.” From European style all the way to Disney. However, they are all based on the same ancient story. Step mother, step sisters, Cinderella marries the love of her life, you get the idea. Yet, each individual story has its own unique touch to make it stand out just a little bit more than the previous story. The two Cinderella stories that I’m going to be comparing are two Disney films. The first one I am going to discuss was released in early spring of 1950, called “Cinderella”. The second story is a remake called, “Another Cinderella Story” released in 2008. Both films based on the same story line, yet completely different.

There are many different versions of the classic story, Cinderella. Grimm’s version was just as wonderful, but had more twisted moments than Disney’s story. Both stories are about a girl who overcomes the cruelty of her evil stepmother and stepsisters and ends up living happily ever after. Although, there are many differences, there are three that stand out. The three main differences are, the father died in disney's version but did not die in Gimms version, there was no fairy godmother in Grimm's version but there was in Disney's, and in the original version the stepsisters cut their heels and toes off so it would fit in the slipper but in the Disney version they did not.

Cinderella and Little Mermaid are two of the most well known fairy tales of the 21st century. The two stories focus their attention on a young girl struggling to change who she is in order to marry the man of her dreams. However, the Disney version most people know and love are not the original tales. The true Grimm Brother’s Cinderella and Andersen’s Little Mermaid have much more dark and twisted endings than any Disney fan would like to believe. While the two stories start out in similar ways, a young girl longing to venture somewhere and experience what is unfamiliar to them, these stories end up going in two completely different directions. In both the Grimm Brother’s Cinderella and Andersen’s Little Mermaid the protagonist is exceptionally curious and, due to their curiosity, becomes willing to do anything in order to achieve their goal; however, the characters use two very different methods in order to try to reach their happily ever after.

Walt Disney’s Cinderella is adapted from the original fairy tale written in 1697 by Charles Perrault. There are some key differences between Walt Disney’s Cinderella and Charles Perrault’s Cinderella. In Charles Perrault’s tale, Cinderella’s father is not dead, but the father is controlled by the stepmother. Cinderella’s younger stepsister is much more polite than the older stepsister, who calls Cinderella Cinderwench. The king in Perrault’s tale hosts a two day Ball, which Cinderella attends with the help of the fairy godmother. During Cinderella’s preparation for the first night of the Ball, Cinderella helps the fairy godmother find a coachman when the fairy godmother could not find one. Cinderella’s glass slipper comes off on the second

Finding the similarities and differences between two things using just the brain and memories can be difficult sometimes. Using the internet, books, and movies can be extremely beneficial when it comes to comparing and contrasting. Something good to compare and contrast , that is very popular, would be Beauty and The Beast, as there is an original book, a cartoon, and a remake movie. What is your favorite book that has a movie made about it?

While their is still an overlying theme of a young, beautiful woman feeling trapped in her unfortunate situation, we find her less focused on wishing, and more determined to find her own way out. There is also a significant change when it comes to the villain of the story; instead of pitting innocent princess against evil queen, our antagonist has because a man, a symbol of the oppressive patriarchy that was finally coming into the light. Rather than waiting to be saved, these princesses use their talents and abilities to defeat their foes, and find love based on who they are, not for how they look. Belle, the first transitional princess, isn’t actually a princess at all, but in fact a peasant who is being pursued by dastardly, yet handsome,

“She warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within.” Disney’s Beauty and the Beast has taught me many life lessons. Although there are a few different versions of this movie, each teaches a valuable view of life. Life is not all a fairytale, and this movie, unlike some other Disney movies, shows that. Beauty and the Beast gives examples of realistic messages to carry with you through life.

In the recent weeks, it has been revealed that Disney’s upcoming movie “Beauty and the Beast” will feature a character, LeFou, played by Josh Gad, coming to terms with his sexuality throughout the movie. This reveal has caused a controversy throughout many conservative groups, with said groups criticizing Disney for pushing a gay agenda onto their children. Curtis Wong, in “The Internet Reacts After Mom Cancels Disney Trip Over Gay Character”, writes of the “This Modest Mom” blogger, Brooke Poston, who canceled her upcoming trip to Disney World because of LeFou’s sexuality Disney’s upcoming movie. When questioned on why she canceled her entire trip, rather than simply boycotting the movie, Poston stated that she believed Disney’s LGBTQ practices

Many people wonder where all the Cinderella stories originated from? They originated from the most popular version written in French by Charles Perrault written in 1607. The Little Golden book, the Grimm brothers version and the 2015 Disney Film version of Cinderella are all taken from the original story. All Cinderella stories have the same storyline, but there are differences and similarities between the archetypes and the characters and in the theme in the three versions.

Fairytales speak the language of children. Many of today’s children’s books fit that typical mold. Some include being didactic, easily relatable to children, it’s not terrifying, and the books are colorful with happy endings. Messages perceived as dull instructions are more likely to be rejected, while positive messages passed through fairytales are easily absorbed into the minds and hearts of children. These stories were introduced to us under the appearance of fairytales, although several of our favorite fairytales are by other authors and not by the Grimm brothers. Which in fact, the Walt Disney movies of classic fairytales such as Cinderella and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs exclude the dark, twisted themes that are significant in

A children’s story is the first step a child is introduced to in terms of reading and literature. These books give children enjoyment, develops their feeling and imagination. And it might also help children resolve problems by creatively portraying the issue in the book and also by teaching how to deal with it in an entertaining way. For example in Franklin Fibs, Paulette Bourgeois innovatively explains how lying can be bad and how it can impact a child. This probably teaches the child moral values and also entertains them.

Everybody all through their youth is typically told the great tall tales that introduce a feeling of ethics in a child. For example, Magnificence and the Beast is the narrative of a youthful earl being changed into a mammoth and his workers to family units for his childishness for denying an old hobo shelter for the night. After the Beast catches Belle's dad for trespassing, she offers herself in his place. After some time, she starts to experience passionate feelings for the Beast. After kissing the mammoth, he changes once more into the attractive youthful earl alongside his workers, and they all live happily, ever after. The lesson of this story is 'Don't Judge a Book by its Cover' as the old poor person was in-reality an old witch, and the Beast was really an earl. However, these stories are becoming something for grown-ups to enjoy with their children.
