Compare And Contrast Disney And Tim Burton

Improved Essays
The two movies I have in mind is the story of Hansel and Gretel Walt Disney's Tim Burton version and Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters by Tommy Wirkola. Each of the movies are definately adapted for a specific audience. Due to the use of background effects and adaptations in certain scenes it defines scary moments for the viewer timed at just the right moment.

In both versions they are similar by using live actors and have background music. Other similar ways are how the movies use props in a scene for added effect in order to show where Hansel and Gretel lived out in the woods in a cottage. Another part is where Hansel and Gretel work together to try and escape the witch's house. While watching both movies a person feels sympathy for Hansel

There is no surprise that modern films have evolved an infinite amount of action compared to older cinematic films. Universal Horror films evolved between the 1920s through the 1950s. This involved incredible science fiction and horror films produced by Universal Studio Productions such as Frankenstein and Dracula to name a few.

    Horror movies such as “the Amityville horror” based on the mass murders in 1974. Use realistic events that have occurred to portray a more dramatic and frighting story. This added sense of realism can provide induced feelings of fear in the viewer as the potential threats can occur to the watcher and pose real life threats of danger. Horror movies such as the “The nightmare on elm street” use fantasy…

    Tim Burton is a “gentle horror” film producer who was influenced by Grimm, Roald Dahl, Dr. Seuss, and Edgar Allan Poe. The way that these people influenced the style of Burton’s movies is very prominent. They all had very original, unique, imaginative stories, so, therefore, so does Burton. In his movies “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, “The Corpse Bride”, and “Edward Scissorhands”, he shows his imaginative style by using diegetic and non-diegetic music, high- and low-key lighting, and flashbacks. The first example that shows this style is “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, a movie about a boy named Charlie Buckets, who gets the chance to go to a famous chocolate factory and possibly be the winner of an incredible prize.…
