Decent Essays
In class, we watched two very different versions of La Belle et La Bête. One version had animation and was the Disney interpretation of The Beauty and the Beast. The Walt Disney rendition, there were talking clocks and living chiffonier. The whole world within the beast's fortress was full of life and wonder. In the animation, Belle loved books and went to rescue her father after her father's horse came back in look for help. In the animation of Walt Disney, There was more drollery. Then at the end of the movie, the lively objects turned into people. In the non animated real people version, Belle had two sisters and a brother. In Walt Disney's variation, Belle was an only child and wanted to not get married so she could care and watch over

    Beauty and the Beast is truly “a tale as old as time”, it has been passed on from generation to generation in many different languages; because it has been passed down so many times, the way it’s told changes from country to country. Comparing the Italian version, Bellinda e il Mostro by Italo Calvino, and the American version done by Disney, readers will see the many differences and similarities between the two. Some of the differences are subtle and some were very noticeable, such as Belle's father's occupation, the setting, and what the Beast turns into at the end. There are also many similarities between the two, like Belle’s father being captured, Belle wanting a flower, and how Belle and Beast inevitably fall in love. While these tales…

    Stories are told different ways after every generation, and that goes the same for fairy tales. Throughout time the main concept never changes, only by a slight bit. At first glance, Straparola story The Pig King would have nothing to do with the modern day adaption of Beauty and the Beast. However, the concept of the story is basically the same throughout, and these similarities lead me to believe that the, oh so famous, movie Beauty and the Beast originated from this tale. The symbolism throughout each story intertwines and creates one powerful theme about beauty.…

    Because although ''Maleficent'' is an adaption from ''Sleeping beauty'', the content of ''Maleficent'' is more risqué than the ''Sleeping Beauty'' because ''Sleeping Beauty'' is lame and tame. The plot of ''Maleficent'' is more interesting than ''Sleeping Beauty''. This is because at the end of ''Sleeping Beauty'', Princess Aurora is finally woken up because she has been kissed by a Prince but at the end of ''Maleficent'', Princess Aurora did not wake up even kissed by Prince, but she only wakes up when Maleficent kissed her because of the love showed between them. The story of ''Maleficent'' also amazed us because it almost changes the whole story of ''Sleeping Beauty'' especially the most evil character finally became a good person that makes us feel very…
