Comparison Between Walt Disney's The Lady And The Tramp

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.

Fairy Folk Tales are the most popular types of literature. The tale is an orally transmitted tradition by generations through the time; some events are changed to fit reality and society. Folk fairy tales deal with the dualism of the good and the evil. They are basing on a conflict between the good and the evil forces. The conclusion comes from aspirations of the human desire to achieve the justices. There are no known authors and sources for ancient literature. We have many versions of the story; they are credited by many authors later. Each tale is very like some other culture’s tale. Each culture has own tales, but all the tales are similar and different in some points. This essay will compare between two

All people recognize the charming story of Cinderella, and at its core, it is a story that relates to the hearts of all societies worldwide. The magic that transforms an underprivileged girl into an affluent beauty captures the attention of a prince, but outside of the story, it also mesmerizes readers in their pursuit of their own happily-ever-afters. In “America’s ‘Cinderella’,” Jane Yolen expounds upon the “true nature” of Cinderella that is hidden from modern, American society but lives in the tales of other cultures. She criticizes the modern, mass-marketed version of Cinderella that is leading society to a false hope in America. Also, an art historian, Bonnie Cullen, writes about the Cinderella tale. In “The Rise of Perrault’s ‘Cinderella’,” Cullen investigates how Charles Perrault’s version of Cinderella grew to its fame and how the story was affected by the Victorian Era. Both authors see the Cinderella story in diverse colors; however despite all controversies, the enchanting tale of Cinderella continues to thrive in modern society. As an example, Ever After, directed by Andy Tennant, came to theaters and restored the obsession with Cinderella. In the movie, the Cinderella story is given a transformation: fresh colors, heroic protagonists, deceitful enemies, and glitzy clothing. However, the story maintains the Cinderella plot. Like most Cinderella stories, Danielle, the main character, is forced into servitude by the hands of an evil stepmother after the passing of Cinderella’s beloved father, but her life changes when she meets Prince Charming. While audiences can see that Ever After parallels Perrault’s version of Cinderella and contains the necessary ingredients for the traditional story, the main character, Danielle, exhibits new, contemporary attributes that alter the personality of a standard Cinderella figure, but ultimately, Danielle still falls victim to Victorian ideology.

In Class we watched two movies based on a book we read called Of Mice and Men. Both of the movies were very similar to the book. In I was able to hear exact lines from the book in the two movies.

Compare and Contrast the ways in which modern authors have re-imagined traditional narratives for their own purposes.

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.

At first glance Disney’s Lady and the Tramp released in 1955 is a classic romantic love story between two dogs where the upper-class girl falls in love with a lower class boy. It follows the struggles they encounter when trying to be together. However, after reading Locating America: Revisiting Disney’s Lady and the Tramp by Daniel Goldmark and Utz McKnight it is clear that the undertones of the film tell the viewers a different story. The film depicts how American culture should be and what is socially acceptable in America. This has been made clear by different sections of the film that will be examined throughout the paper.

This story is about diversity of an Italian American family from New Jersey in the 1950s during a time when adults were fearful of catching Polio and the prejudices against Italian Americans that affected their lifestyle. Holm’s inspiration was based on her Italian American upbringing with her mother being the character of Penny, capturing the time period of real things her family encountered. Readers will be drawn in to vivid characters and will understand why Penny longs for her families to mend their broken bond. The historical detail within the book helps readers visualize what the world was going through after World War Two and the challenges that Italian American encountered.

Produced in 2009, Disney’s The Princess and The Frog tells the story of a young woman trying to make it in 1920s, New Orleans. Tiana’s intelligence, ambition, and brutally honest state of being kept her focused on her goal of owning a gourmet restaurant, and guided her towards her true love. This movie shows how these three main characteristics impacted her journey in finding her happily ever after. Tiana’s intelligence shines through with every obstacle thrown her way. Growing up in a working-class neighborhood, she didn’t receive any handouts unlike her best friend Charlotte LaBouff, who came from a very wealthy family.

I believe this is already known but I picked Italy for my alternate assignment I learned a few things about her current culture there is some things I like and some I do not. For example, they are very family oriented, and when their parents become too old to work they do not stick them in a nursing home like too many people in the States do. they would take care of them the rest of their lives. I for one care about my own family very deeply so I feel a connection of sorts with Italians I would do the same or at least something similar. One of the things I sort of don’t like is they are easy going, and don’t care if they are on time or late. Now it is good to take it easy and relax but only to a point because I think that if all you do

Two weeks after arriving in Florence, while walking home from dinner across the river, stumbled upon Piazza della Signoria, for the first time. With the sound of a street performer’s violin in the crisp night air, I sat on the edge of the open-air gallery of statues. I still do not know why the piazza affected me the way it did, but with tears in my eyes, I knew I had found a place in Florence where I could be bitter sweetly happy.

In my opinion, I think the movie version of Little Women was really successful. Although movie version had fewer good details than novel’s, but it was extremely moving. It touched my heart and I was almost crying. There were many things that I imagined in other way, but through this movie, it helped me a lot. When Beth died and she talked with Jo, I could see myself there. I understood how she was feeling then. It was such a success of this movie. By the way, it gave me a strong feeling of the freedom, the right for women, and gorgeous scenes in the 19th century. Last but not least, I love some happy moments between The March Family and Laury, funny scenes between Mr. Behr and Jo, and very romantic proposal of Laury and

After reading Ovid’s original myth “Pygmalion and Galatea”, Shaw was disappointed with it and decided to take pen to paper and create his own version of the story, thus Shaw’s Pygmalion was created. The story follows the quest of a young girl, Eliza Doolittle, to transform into a lady because of a bet made by Henry Higgins, a gentleman who is knowledgeable in phonetics. Eliza is successfully able to shape herself into a lady however, the book does not end with happy union of Higgins and Eliza rather a deep animosity between them. In George Cukor’s musical My Fair Lady diverges from Shaw’s original play, and has Higgins and Eliza end up together. Therefore ending of My Fair Lady is a “vulgar travesty of the play’s design,” as Nicholas Grene writes because it undermines Eliza’s transformation and it is not a logical ending.

Italy, positioned in southeastern Europe, is a beautiful country that is faced with high unemployment, corruption and massive debt. Although it appears to be one of the most developed countries in Europe, Italy is somewhat of a laggard in globalization. Ranking twenty-third in world population, Italy stands at 56,126,212 people as of July 2009. The north and south seem to be split in economic terms with the north being well developed industrially and the south facing high unemployment and poverty. Italy is a democratic republic that replaced a monarchy back in 1946. Although it ranks seventh in world GDP and public debt and attracts millions of tourists every year, its current debt to GDP ratio continues to skyrocket. World economists
