Disney had problems with its representations of African Americans in it past work, this lead to some of it work edited or outright banned. Although Disney is a trusted brand is as also cause controversy for the scene in Pinocchio. Where Pinocchio the puppet and his friend smoke cigars, this scene has been criticized, by anti-smoking groups and even loyal fan of the Disney brand. Another Disney product that been heavily criticized is the famous scene in Dumbo where he gets drunk. Disney want as much audience and customer as possible so their film are made for people of different ages.

When raising children, it is necessary to understand how to navigate their questions on life in a manner that is both appropriate for their age, yet is acceptable in their eyes in terms of an actual answer. According to Bruno Bettelheim, fairy tales are told to children as a way to allow them to symbolically address issues and challenges they might face. These fairy tales employ the use of characters and plots that children can place themselves in, thus allowing them to identify with the situation described. However, over time, some adaptions of the fairy tales differ from their subject matter. Jean Cocteau’s version of Beauty and the Beast differs from Walt Disney’s version, as it retains many of the theories that the Disney version omitted. Jean Cocteau’s version and Disney’s versions of Beauty and the Beast differ in their message by changing aspects of the symbolism and characters’ personalities.

Once upon a time there was a woodcarver named Geppetto. Geppetto loved to make toys for kids but his best creation was a wood puppet named Pinocchio. Geppetto was still lonely so he made a wish that Pinocchio would become a real boy. The Blue Fairy granted part of Geppeto's wish by making Pinocchio come to life because he brought joy to others. Pinocchio had to earn becoming a real boy by being brave, truthful, and unselfish. Then Pinocchio got tricked by Honest John, Stromboli, and the Coach Men and found serious trouble like being in a cage so he would perform as a puppet and turned into a donkey for being naughty. Pinocchio lied to the Blue Fairy to get out of trouble which caused his nose to grown with each lie. Geppetto tried to

Ever since Bram Stoker wrote his entrancing novel people have been adapting it, and the story is one of the most reproduced ideas in history. Each innovation of the novel influences the story for the creators own purpose, and in doing so generates another version of Dracula. Count Dracula has become an infamous character in history, and has been captured in many different mediums, such as the Japanese anime and manga series Vampire Hunter D, which follows Draculas son D in his adventures (Kikuchi). However, one of the adaptations that endures in modern minds is the 1992 film by Francis Ford Coppola, Bram Stoker's Dracula. This version of Dracula was meant to be loyal to the novel, but it diverged from the original in many ways.

Dracula essay Lawson Insilo Dracula as a theme has been around for a while now, yet he still has the ability to influence the gothic culture. Everything from hit books and movies like Dracula Untold to popular television shows like True Blood originate from this classic tale of blood-lust and demons. The vast majority are drawn directly from Bram Stoker’s novel. Yet many movies like: “Dracula” (1931), “Dracula” (1979), “Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht” (1979), “Bram Stroker’s Dracula” (1992) are based on the Dracula theme. But could we say that 1992 version by Coppola is good adaptation to the novel?

The original Disney cartoon of a lion cub blamed for his father's death has been remade into a Broadway musical acclaimed all over the world. Seen by over twenty five million people in over 15 thousand performances this intricately designed wonder has taken over 37 thousand hours just to build the puppets and masks. Julie Taymor the director and costume designer was faced with a problem of whether to create humans or animals playing the part and she decided to make masks that show the animal face, as well as, show the human face giving the character his or her personality. As for expressing other animals that are not part of the main cast or to express a certain theme, 2 different kinds of puppetry were used

‘Disneyfication’ is a phenomenon in which a story with grim or uncomfortable themes is modified to fit an all-ages audience, either by removing certain acts or scenes all together, or hiding it under something lighthearted. With so many of the Brother Grimm’s Fairy Tales being used for Disney feature films, a pattern can be seen as to how this specific studio adapts and disney-ifies these rather grim tales for their primarily young children audience. Specifically, however, our focus will be on the topic of how gender roles are portrayed in both the traditional fairy tale and the Disney adaptation.

Shrek is the answer to the dissatisfaction of “disneyfied” fairytales, by subverting popular tropes and offering an alternative for those who, generally in the Disney model (which continuously dominates popular culture), do not exist or are not “deserving” of a protagonist role. Interestingly, Shrek may have even inspired the modern revival of classic Disney fairy tales in which many of the ridiculed absurdities, such as certain superficialities and twist on who is actually the “good person”, are altered to a modern audience’s changing taste. Not only is Shrek entertaining, smart, and embraces the idea that appearances can belie personality, Shrek is influential and perhaps the most popular “fractured” fairy

They took the classic fairy tales and changed them dramatically. Maybe it’s something you’ve never paid attention to or cared to acknowledge but once it is pointed out it is seems obvious. The Disney has Originally, fairy tales were not supposed to be the feel-good bedtime stories that they are today. They were supposed to be dark, grim, gruesome

In this article it shows how the vampire started as a bloodthirsty monster in stories and how the eventually evolved into the modern envisage seen in media. What makes this important for the thesis, is the evolution form the first stories that spurred this villain in the shadows. The evolution of the vampire across the cultures is a very important aspect for research within this paper in order to fully describe how this creature was first envisioned in the early folklore to what we see today in the recent adaptations. Attempting to describe this progression without bringing to the forefront the classics such as Bram Stokers would be a large disservice to this paper.

This is much different form the novel version of the Count, who Harker describes as a monster will wants to “satiate his lust for blood, and create a new and ever-widening circle of semi-demons to batten on the helpless” (Stoker 53) Another difference that is different in Dracula’s film version is how he is killed. In the book, Harker slits his throat after a climatic chase and battle, and immediately turns to dust (Stoker 325). This battle still occurs in Coppola’s version; however, he is eventually killed by Mina and the act is seen as one of compassion and kindness. Stoker does not explore this idea in his novel. Stoker does not explore this idea in the novel, as doing so would have taken away from the frightening, undead character that he was trying to create. This is not to say that Coppola was wrong to go this route, however, only that the perception of vampires had shifted and he needed something to fit along with this shift.

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.

Pinocchio is concidered an adventurous tale for children. The original story was first published in 1881 by Carlo Collodi in Italy . Collodi published his masterpiece as a serial story in a children’s weekly paper, Giornale dei bambini, between 1881 and 1883 (Liukkonen, 2008). Collodi wrote the story to be a lively adventure for children and a very adult social critique, attacking poverty and emphasising the importance of education (Liukkonen, 2008). Walt Disney adapted the story in 1940, lightened it up some and proceeded to make a
