In some films, such as The Jungle Book, this relationship has a greater focus than other films, such as Snow White. Snow White, Aurora and Mowgli meet their animal allies and enemies in the forest or the jungle, while Cinderella’s animal friends (and antagonist) are residents of her stepmother’s house. In the world of these four films, it is…

There are many sides to any story as we are told. The film takes us on an adventure with the iconic “Sleeping Beauty” villainess. This film is an adaptation of the Disney classic “Sleeping Beauty” from 1956 which was originally directed by Clyde Geronimi, Les Clark and Wolfgang Reitherman. The original only tells the story of Aurora and does not go into detail on how Maleficent came to be so evil and heartless. However this story is all about Maleficent and her journey to evil and good again.…

folktales and Disney films are known for populating their worlds with anthropomorphic animals. These animal figures are represented as either human characters who are transformed into animals or characters who are consistently animals throughout the folktale or film.

When a plot illustrates a human's transformation into an animal, Disney…

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be given the task of creating a thrilling film, attracting a modern audience, and based on an authentic story?

After exploring the various perspectives surrounding the story of John Smith and Pocahontas, I argue that Disney shouldn’t be held socially responsible for their presentation of history. I believe in this to be true because there are already sources out there to present history accurately. Educators shouldn’t have to rely on Disney movies to teach their students an accurate representation of what actually happened. For instance, Laura McClure writes in “Pocahontas” as Teaching Tool, “Students…
