For many years Disney has given the world timeless fairytale classics that children look up to and love, what Disney hasn’t told the world is where the fairytales originated from. Disney’s fairytale “Tangled” originated from Charollette Rose de la Force’s classic tale “Persinette, The Maiden in the Tower” written in 1698 and carried on by the Grims Brothers in 1820 and then on to Disney in 2010. Most fairytales are supposed to have a happy ending however not every fairytale Disney recreated is has happy and cheery as they make it out to be. The moral of Disney’s “Tangled is nothing can stop a person’s destiny. The moral of “Persinette” by Force is the same as Disney’s moral nothing can stop a person’s destiny. Although the morals may be the …show more content…

She becomes pregnant by him and the witch finds out and throws him out of the tower, banishing the young girl to a faraway forest. The young girl and prince and their babies then want to die but the witch is touched and helps them, and they live happily ever after.

    E.E. Cummings once said, “It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are.” All young boys come face to face with the changes involved in growing up. At some point, boyhood stops and manhood begins. Theodore Roosevelt said, “The boy who is going to make a great man must not make up his mind merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand repulses and defeats.” The transition from boy to man is not an easy one.…

    The one intriguing thing about this tale however, is that roles are somewhat switched. For example in Cinderella, it is the girl who is viewed as weak, seeking love. The man in Cinderella wanted nothing to do with her until he noticed her at the ball because she looked so pretty. We could say the magic used on her to make the dress and carriage, is similar to the potion. Her beauty enchanted the prince, and the potion in the tale is used to enchant the women.…

    Grimm Brothers Vs Cinderella

    The story of Cinderella is well-known by most people, however, there are several versions of this beloved tale. The original story written down by the Grimm Brothers depicts 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 central to the story: a lesson about piety and goodness in the Grimm tale and the entertainment factor in the Disney cartoon. These are each shown in different…

    Compare And Contrast The Grimm Brothers Versions Of Cinderella

    Perrault version of Cinderella Vs the Grimm brothers’ version of Cinderella. “Fairy tale” is the term also used to describe something containing unusual happiness, like “fairy tale ending” a happing ending, or “fairy tale romance”, though not all fairy tales have a happy ending. According to Arthur Schlesinger, classical tales “tell children what they unconsciously know-that human nature is not innately good, that conflict is real, that life is harsh before it is, happy-and thereby reassure them about their own fears and their own sense of self” (229). Despite the fact that both Perrault and the Grimm brothers versions of Cinderella are fundamentally similar to each other, but the differences between them show two different moral universes.…

    Comparison Of Star Wars And Harry Potter

    One of modern society’s favourite pastimes is watching and comparing films. Films have the ability to make us laugh, cry, or even think while touching our hearts no matter what the genre is. Contemporary media genres have dramatically changed since classical literary times, which divided theatrical and literature into groups of drama and comedy, giving birth to genres. Films have become difficult to place into a specific genre, as “any theme may appear in any genre” (Chandler 1997, p. 1) resulting in genres blending continuously. For example, a Science Fiction (Sci-Fi) film is classified in that genre due to its situational context and fundamental plot, though, Sci-Fi films may also be categorised into genres such as horror (Aliens), comedy…

    Personal Narrative: The Old Versions Of Fairytales

    I’ve always had the impression that fairytales were innocent stories of finding true love and living happily ever after, like the way Disney depicted them to be. I never thought about where these stories came from and the different themes and symbols that were relevant of that time. Some of the things I’ve learned about fairytales have not only shocked me, but has also made me reevaluate everything I know about fairytales. Something I never knew about fairytales is that they weren’t always for children. I’ve always associated them with a younger audience so thinking that these stories were written for adults enjoyment is really crazy to believe.…
