Comparing Two Disney Films

Pixar’s Cars is a movie that I would compare heavily to the love story in Pride and Prejudice. While the little details may vary greatly, the concept itself is much the same. In Cars, Lightning McQueen ends up in a little town called Radiator Springs and seems to be arrogant and prejudice towards everyone there. This is comparable to Mr. Darcy when he shows up and is rude and reserved to the people in Meryton. Furthermore, the pair is both highly misjudged and upon meeting the love interest (i.e. Elizabeth and Sally), seem to be entirely changed people, showing their true colors. By then end, they both admitted to having made a mistake in the past and try to prove that they are not all that they first seemed.

Disney's “The Princess and The Frog” is based on the original story The Frog Prince written by the Grimm brothers in 1812. There have been many books and movies inspired by the original The Frog Prince, each being different in their own way. The name is a common difference between the original and newer versions of the story, usually modern versions are named “The Princess and The Frog” like Disney's adaptation. Even though Disney's "The Princess and The Frog" and the original The Frog Prince are the same story, they have notable differences and very few similarities; the setting, her status, the story line, and the moral.

In the book, Max dreams of fighting Hitler, while in the movie Max does not have such a dream.

Starting with the similarities, the first similarity between the book and the movie are the characters. For example, in both the book and movie, Chingachgook is a Native American, and he has a tomahawk. Hawkeye is a white man. He appears to have a knife and buckskin leggings also. The last of the the examples of the character similarities are Alice and Cora. The two are sisters, and Alice is the younger sister. As you can see from these examples, the characters do have similarities in both the book and movie.

Macbeth the movie and Lion King are very different, but very similar. One is a cartoon animation movie by Disney and the other is a play written by William Shakespeare that was later produced into a movie by Ian McKellan. Both movies have a tradegy, but also have a small heros journey and I will show the comparsion between them both.

“The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it,” explains Rafiki, the wise baboon from The Lion King, to Simba, a young cub, in order to teach him a valuable lesson: to use other peoples’ mistakes to avoid making the same ones; when people reflect on their past and are willing to confront the mistakes head on, they can be very successful. Waking Sleeping Beauty, directed by Don Hahn, gives viewers an inside look from 1984 to 1994 when Disney reached the peak of “The Disney Renaissance”—during this period of time, Disney Animation Studios produced some of their best animated movies. Although Disney was successful during this era, it took a lot of work for them to get to that stage. During the late

When most people hear the title, "The Little Mermaid" their minds usually go to Disney. What they do not know is that the story was originally written in 1837, 161 years before the Disney adaptation. Both of these versions might tell the same story, but the two creators had different views based on the time period it was created.

Imagine if the Little Mermaid, Ariel, had her tongue cut out instead of her voice taken away, or Pinocchio hanging himself. All the fairy tale you think you know are all different than the original. People always believed in happy endings; Cinderella getting her prince, Sleeping Beauty waking up and even Beauty getting her beastly prince. Each story had a purpose, but to know its real purpose you need to know the original stories; the difference, the similarities and the influence they had on people.

Brighton Rock has been written in 1938 by Graham Grene. It is one of the important books in crime genre. This book has also filmed in the crime genre category. John Boulting’s Brighton Rock (1947) and Rowan Joffe’s Brighton Rock (2010). In this essay, I will examine John Boulting’s and Rowan Joffe’s movies within three aspects; depiction of setting, visual images and symbols, depiction of character.

Often in tales we hear of Italy as the country of love, further emphasised in Walt Disney’s “The Lady and The Tramp”, where two mutts fall in love at first sight. Italy has touched the world, well known for the birth of our modern pizza, and its variety of pastas and sauces, but there is so much more to this country than its abundance of love and food. Outside of the fact that it is shaped as a boot, Italy is a one of kind country that has made great strides in history in order to become what it is today. Exploring the history of Italy, and learning about the daily life of the people who live there way of its people one might just begin to fall in love.

In the films March of the Penguins and Happy Feet we get the essentially the same story both times. The movies try to depict the life of a penguin and the struggles that they deal with. In both cases the audience is going to walk away thinking that they have received this. However, March of the Penguins is a genuine display of a penguin’s life while Happy Feet feeds us a happy cartoon. Another thing to consider here is the audience that might be attending each film.

There are many variations of The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen that have been told, but it is safe to say that the most popular version was released by Walt Disney Animation Studios in 1989. While there are similarities between the Disney version and the original they are vastly different. In the Disney animated film, we meet a fiery 16-year-old mermaid named Ariel with a strong desire for adventure. In the beginning of the original story, the little mermaid is only 10 years old.

In the 1999 Disney Film Tarzan was boy growing up within a family of gorillas. Tarzan was not accepted by the leader of the gorillas Kerchak so from a boy he tried to build himself up to prove himself on this journey he meets Jane Porter and her father. Tarzan saves Jane from baboons attacking her and immediately they start to fall for each other. This is different from the except from the original story where Tarzan saves Jane from a ex-chief gorilla name Terkoz. Terkoz at first wants to kill Jane but instead has a change in “mood” and takes her as a prize. Tarzan eventually saves Jane and at first they are attracted similar to Disney movie. However, after Tarzan and Jane kiss Jane is repulsed by Tarzan this part surprised me because

Tangled is a Disney movie created to tell the story of Rapunzel, a young girl taken by a witch and locked in a tower. “Rapunzel” is a story collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, the Brothers’ Grimm, about a young girl locked in a tower. Although they seem quite similar, there are quite a few differences between the movie Tangled and the Brothers’ Grimm “Rapunzel”.

Watching the trailers before movies in the theater and going home waiting for the day the movie comes out. The anticipation would build up and excitement would grow day by day. Finally, the day would come and walking out there would be no disappointment. Disney never fails to make great movies and it’s all due to certain characteristics they apply in the best films.
