For years Disney has been making movies that kids all around the world enjoy watching. Lilo and Stitch is one such movie. On the surface, the audience follows both Lilo and Stitch, surfing and taking down the villain, but was that really all it was about? There are many small details that can easily be overlooked, but in actuality hold great significance. During the entire movie, these “insignificant details” are what tied the story together.
The first detail of non-importance is Pudge, Lilo’s fish, who was known for his fondness of peanut butter sandwiches. Lilo would feed Pudge a weekly peanut butter sandwich because she claimed he could control the weather. Lilo was often late to her dance class because she was so desperate to make sure Pudge had his sandwich. At first it comes off that Lilo’s character is either strange or has a vivid imagination. However, as the movie progresses, the true reasons to giving Pudge his sandwich is revealed to Stitch. Lilo explains to Stitch that her parents passed away because of a storm. After learning the new information about Lilo and her family it makes it easier to put the pieces together. Lilo feeds Pudge a peanut butter sandwich because he controls the weather and Lilo

It had an even deeper meaning that not many people noticed at first. Pudge may have just been a fish to some, but to Lilo he had the power to save people from disaster. The names “Lilo and Stitch” were not random choices, they held strong meaning throughout the movie and tied familial themes together. Families were formed and tested during the plot, proving the strength of ohana and its ability to create bonds between individuals. Lilo and Stitch taught children and families all around the world what ohana really stands for and showed them how important family is. It taught them to never turn their back on family and to always show kindness to others who may be
Cinderella is a childhood fairytale that we all love and remember. It is a tragedy that turns into love and happily ever after in the end. In contrast to this popular story, Anne Sexton's version of Cinderella is a dark and twisted version of the classic fairy tale. It takes on a whole new perspective and is fairly different from the childhood fairytale that most of society knows. The poem takes less of a focus on the happy ever after in Cinderella and makes it into vivid bloody and violent images. She retreats more toward the pain and neglect. The poem is not based off the Disney version of Cinderella, but rather original dark version by Brothers Grimm. Sexton uses a very sarcastic and
The chapter, From Rosie to Lucy, by James West Davidson and Mark Hamilton Lytle, is about how the feminine mystique changed drastically from the era of WWII to the era of the baby boom. The shift was attributed to men’s influence on the women through fashion trends, magazines, and TV shows. The main purpose of the chapter is to show that the propaganda through TV and society affected individuals, and more specifically the feminine mystique.
Fairy tales are timeless entities that will always be relevant in people’s lives. Fairy tales and stories offer entertainment, advice, and moral examples. The creation of fairy tales is important in the development of social norms. Children everywhere would read fairy tales and learn from them. As a result, these fairy tales are translated into multiple languages and allows people with different backgrounds to understand and relate to the story. People take these stories and adapt them to life around them. Within these adaptations of the same story, it is normal to observe slight differences that contribute as evidence in identifying the culture or societies in which these stories come from. Whether it is the slang of the dialogue or the change of location, modern producers and writers are known to take these classic stories and adding a significant twist to adjust to their cultural agenda. The movie, The Princess and the Frog, is a modern example of writers and directors creating a modern twist to the popular story of the Brother Grimm’s The Frog King. The Princess and the Frog and The Frog King both encode the mores, values, and beliefs of the cultures of the societies from which they come because, even though they both have similar plot ideas, the differences of the location and the differences of the overall specific plotlines attribute to understanding how their own specific cultures influence the adaptation and the actual story.
In conclusion, this wonderful portrayal of a Disney film seeks to teach us about our own lives and who we are using wonderful techniques of puppetry and coordination. It is no surprise that they have won many awards and acclaims all over the world as they show us their wonderful sets and colors which include animals ranging from eighteen feet to 5 inches. Julie Taymor's wonderful philosophy of dual meanings really makes this a great family musical.
“What goes around comes around, that’s what people say. So all the pain you caused me will come back to you someday” (Unknown.) The theme of “what goes around comes around” is exemplified in both the Grimm version and the Disney version of Cinderella, however the Grimm version definitely exemplifies the theme more effectively than the Disney version does.
In the colonial American time period during the seventeenth century there were many important sources that have come up missing. Some are just missing and others destroyed. The modern- day historians have the task of trying to find this lost information to determine the facts about
The story of Cinderella is well-known by most people, however, there are several versions of this beloved tale. There is the one told by the Grimm Brothers, depicting a world where moral choices can affect your life in extreme ways, but it is Walt Disney’s 1950 cartoon version of Cinderella that most children think of when the story is mentioned. This version leaves behind both the question of morality and the bloody punishments, allowing children to enjoy an eye-catching, G-rated film. Both of these versions use their respective mediums to emphasize what the creator deems to be most important: a lesson about piety and goodness in the Grimm tale and the entertainment factor in the Disney cartoon. These are each shown in different ways, according to the medium used.
As a child, most children become infatuated with the newest Disney movie. Although Disney movies target children, watching them as an adult, we start to notice hidden messages and themes in our favorite childhood movies. A category of Disney packed with secret meanings is the Disney princess films. We watch in awe a young girl living, for the most part, the perfect fantasy life. She sings to animals, her hair is always perfectly in place, and there is always a prince to come and save her. In reality, there is much more to the princess persona than we realize. In 2014, Disney’s Frozen took the world by storm and became the highest grossing animated film ever. Frozen takes us on a magical journey with Princess Anna to find her sister, Princess Elsa, whose power to create ice has forever trapped their homeland, Arendelle, in eternal winter. Elsa is haunted by the memory of almost tragically killing her younger sister Anna because of her icy powers. Isolating herself from the world, Elsa dedicated her life to concealing her powers and learning to control them. The movie Frozen teaches the importance of social development among children.

Piper’s story is both similar and different from other female offenders. Piper’s story is similar to other female offenders because her offense posed little threat of violence and was considered a low level offense. Another way her story is similar to female offenders is her age when she committed the crimes. The ages most people break the law are between 15 and 24 years old (Belknap, 2015, p. 124). Piper was 22 years old when she made the decision to break the law. Her story is also similar to female offenders when it comes basic necessities in prison. Piper talked about being given a limited amount of hygiene products and even having to make her own conditioner due to not being given any. Women are given a certain amount of pads and toilet
Comparing Little Red Riding Hood folktales is a multi tasks operation, which includes many elaborations on the many aspects of the story. Setting, plot, character origin, and motif are the few I chose to elaborate solely on. Although the versions vary, they all have the motif trickery, the characters all include some sort of villain with a heroin, the plot concludes all in the final destruction or cease of the villain to be, and, the setting and origins of the versions vary the most to where they are not comparable but only contrastable, if one can say that origins and settings are contrastable.
Over the course of nearly 260 years of social and political happenings and Fourth of July celebrations, the easily malleable ditty has spawned a vast multitude of improvised verses, which both feed and are testimony to its lasting appeal as a veritable ‘song of the people’. However, this does create some problems. Yankee Doodle’s celebrated melody is one of the very few things about the song that have remained constant throughout its history. With a long history of continual adaptation and evolution, its lyrical origins are more difficult to pinpoint. It is unsurprising that there is little iron-clad evidence for each aspect of a traditional song whose composition was born of on-the-go, impromptu improvisation. Even the most commonly accepted
Alice in Wonderland by Charles L Dodgeson (Lewis Carrol) is a classic masterpiece and example of great literature. Many people know of this book as merely a child’s tale or a Disney movie. As both were adopted from the book, many of the ideas were not. I have my own feelings and opinions of this book. Remarkable use of words and an originally creative theme and plot structure are both used in this book. The author of this novel used many hidden meanings, symbolism, and ambiguous terms to greatly describe the actual nature of the story. Many people have different views as to the type of book it is and the novel’s actual meaning. Although this book inspires many people to laugh, it also inspires them think.
