Fantasia Movie Comparison

Looking at the surface of the films The Fox and the Hound and Monsters Inc, we probably would not see any similarities whatsoever. This is hardly the case once looking past the animated animals and monsters. The Fox and the Hound, which was released in 1981 by Disney, portrays a fox named Tod and a hound dog named Copper. Even though they grew up together, they are socially supposed to be enemies. They do overcome this stereotype at first as they become best friends and vow to forever. In the end of the film they stay friends, but end up living separate from each other. Each one living in the world that is socially acceptable to each animal. Similarity, Monster Inc., which was released in 2001 by Disney and

Both the films have one thing common which is their genre. Both the films are based on romantic-comedy American film. Another thing which is common between them is the duration of their films. Both the films have approximately duration of one and half hour plus fifteen minutes. The films are based on the romantic theme but followed by a little comedy touch that can attract the viewers and can attain their attention. Both the films were a huge success of their times due to their best chemistry of the main leading characters and also by the good mixture of the comedy and romantic aspects of the filmography.

I feel this was an absolute ideal time for the release of the film and after thirty years of not having any fairy tales, there is no way that is a coincidence. Also, the original “The Little Mermaid” was written by Hans Christian Andersen in 1837 so why would Disney randomly decide to make it unless it had a specific purpose. If you really analyze the film you could consider the whole thing to be a metaphor for what was currently going on in the United States. America had been at war during the thirty years that Disney decided that it was not good timing to make a movie with make-believe locations and characters where everything was happy and worked out in the end because in America that’s not what was going on. During those thirty years there were millions of Americans who were killed in war and others who were killed from drugs and even HIV/AIDS. There was the Civil Rights movement along with the uprising of free love which transitioned into the club scenes and hard partying of the 1980s. All of this mayhem resulted from the government and the wars that were going on. With the 80s coming to a close along with the war and chaos, Disney could not think of a more appropriate time to release a new version of the classic Sleeping Beauty concept

Silent films first appeared around the 1890s in America. 1 They are films that were without synchronised sound and especially no spoken dialogue. Music was recognised as an important part of film/moving images from the beginning, as it contributed to the atmosphere of the films and allowed the audience to understand and feel the emotions being portrayed. 2 When music was first being combined with moving image pianos, organs and phonographs were the first instruments used to provide the music, and as the popularity of film grew over the years, some of the larger theatres began using orchestras to accompany the film. 3

Some similarities in the book are, Mason had to sell his horse and also tex’s horse because they needed the money for groceries. Mason said that if they didn't sell the horses then either the horses would starve or mason and tex would. Another similarity is that Tex had to go to the hospital. Tex had to go to the hospital because he got shot when he went to Lem’s friends house. Lem’s friend shot Tex in the hand because Tex was trying to leave. One more similarity was that Mason and Tex were on t.v. They were on t.v because they picked up a hitchhiker, and the hitchhiker had a gun and was trying to shoot mason. If Tex did not take the hitchhiker where he wanted to go then he was going to shoot Mason.

The cinema is one of the most unique forms of media because it has the ability to make a

Although experimental film officially made its debut in the 1920's, the practice could be considered as old as filmmaking itself. The nineteenth century was a period of rapid growth for camera and film technology, and when the idea of motion pictures was still new, the visual formulas and narrative patterns that have become common in modern films had not yet been constructed.

So, now the question of how they could entertain without offending anyone come into play. Films from this period have been named the "Cinema of attractions" by film scholar Tom Gunning, in part, because they treat show over narrative. The popularity of film in its first decade was for some, a cause for concern. It faced challenges to produce longer pictures, which not only would advance their profitability, but also needed to be narrative, which in turn allowed films to carry ethical and good messages.

Throughout the beginning of time people have used art to express themselves. With each major, and minor, there is an artist that captures the world as it is around him.

The birth of film began in 1872, when Leland Stanford bet a friend that a horse lifts all four of its legs off the ground when running.

In the Disney movie to be more kid friendly there are signing working animals, unlike the Brothers Grimm version where the animals are mute. A large difference in the story is there is no fairy godmother. In the Disney movie there is a fairy godmother that makes Cinderella all the magnificent outfits and jewelry. She always sings a very catchy song for children entertainment. In the Brothers Grimm Cinderella gets the beautiful clothing and such from her dead mothers grave where every day she would lay and cry to her mother wishing everything was different.

A short scene from Fantasia begins with a man creating a butterfly from thin air. From previous experience, hidden in the deep recesses of the human brain’s warehouse, it can be assumed that this man is a wizard. A few seconds later a cartoon mouse appears that can be assumed to be Mickey Mouse. After the wizard creates a beautiful butterfly he sets his hat down, which Mickey picks up and tries to use. From the visual elements in this scene, it can be gathered that Mickey Mouse is a thief that disregards authority figures.
