Comparing Disney's Beauty And The Beast
Beauty and the beast You would be surprise in all of the similarity and differences in beauty and the beast original story and the Disney version of beauty and the beast. For example, the family of belle and her father job, and beauty being the kind person she is taking her father’s place as prisoner, of course how the beast almost died. One of the similarity to this classic fairy tale beauty and the beast, is the love belle had for the beast that broke the spell. In the original story, there was once a very rich merchant , who had six kids three girls and three boys. The two eldest sister had “great deal of pride”, because they were wealthy. After the merchant lost all of his money the three sons applied themselves to husbandry and tillage. In the other hand Disney versions son was not like that at all.

    Many years ago I saw a copy of Thomas Kinkade’s painting of Beauty and the Beast. He was known as The Painter of Light, and did several paintings especially for Disney. As soon as I saw it, I fell in love. Belle has always been my favorite Disney princess, because I have always thought that we were similar. We both love to read, are different from the others around us, have brown hair, and tend to always look on the bright side of things. Every time I look at this picture I feel at peace, and am happy.…

    Pocahontas is usually seen as the Disney version of herself. John Smith is viewed in the same prespective. However, the differences between the Pocahontas in the Disney movie and the real Pocahontas are in a great abundance. The similarities between the two versions of Pocahontas are in great abundance too. The way her story is told is a matter of fact and opinion.…

    What I love about the The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (TLWW) is its truly beautiful and enchanting story containing a Christian allegory. The movie falters in those moments where it robs the story of its purity and truth. As a child reading the story, or having it read to you, you are taken from an ordinary world into an extraordinary one. As Lewis wrote in his essay “On Three Ways of Writing for Children” the reader of a story like TLWW “does not despise real woods because he has read of enchanted woods: the reading makes all real woods a little enchanted.”…

    Within seconds of the movie starting, differences are already seen between the book and the movie. Although the movie was amazing and received very good ratings, it is obvious that the writers chose to not make the movie resemble the book several times throughout the movie.…

    There are many differences between the two but there are four main ones that stuck out the most. In the Disney version, Hera is Hercules’ mother, whereas in the original, his mother is a mortal, named Alcmena, making him a demigod (Zeus was his father) which means in the Disney movie he is born a god. In the original he is assigned the twelve tasks as repentance for killing his wife and children. In the Disney film Hercules’s doing the twelve tasks to become a real hero. Another big thing was that in the beginning of the original story, Hera sends two snakes to kill Hercules. In the Disney version Hades sends his two demons two simply kill Hercules but they fail to, so they turn into snakes and try to kill him. The last and biggest difference of all is that in the Disney movie, Hercules has to defeat the Titans whereas the original myth didn’t even talk about them.…

    Widely regarded as one of Disney’s more recognised films, the 1991 film version of Beauty and the beast, produced by Walt Disney Pictures, is based on the French fairy tale where a beautiful woman falls deeply in love with a beast. The original, La Belle et la Bete was published in 1740 by Madame de Villeneuve, however, was then edited and rewritten by Madame Leprince de Beaumont in 1757. The tale has gone through many varied and imaginative incarnations, however, it still remains persistent with the themes of envy unrewarded, learning to love what may at first appear as a ‘beast’ and the benefits which virtue and selflessness will give on the individual (Pook Press, 2017).…

    Many people do not know this, but various Disney movies are based on ancient tales. For example, the movie Lion King contains many of the same aspects and occurrences as Shakespeare's Hamlet, but their stories are not exactly the same. The families in Hamlet and Lion King are both royalty , both kings are murdered by their brother, but these two stories have different endings.…

    In Perrault’s version, Cinderella was forbidden to attend the royal ball, yet in Disney’s allowed her, but only after completing tasks that her evil stepmother thought would be impossible. Concerning the royal ball, Perrault’s version of the event was over two-night period, while Disney’s version was only one night. I believe Disney minimized this to ignore Perrault’s more realistic and self-sufficient character that disobeyed not once, but twice in order to seek her own happiness. In contrast, Disney chose to enhance Cinderella’s reaction with a more love-stricken bliss as she daydreams while humming to the song that she and Prince Charming sang together “So this is love…” (Geronimi, Luske, & Jackson, 1950). During the slipper scene of Disney’s Cinderella, the evil stepmother attempted to destroy Cinderella’s destiny by locking her in her room and going so far as to trip the Grand Duke causing him to drop the glass slipper. Disney created suspense and made viewers think that Cinderella may not live “happily ever after”, after…

    For young girls growing up watching Disney movies, there is usually a classic plot of the princess or young girl wanting more out of life and using marriage to a prince to achieve their goal. However some of the more recent Disney films strive to change this and make a difference in terms of empowering women. Some of these new films do a better job than others, while a few still fall back on the classic Disney fairytales where all the women can seem to do is wait around for their prince to save the day. Mulan, Enchanted, and The Princess and the Frog are all chances for Disney to showcase young women as powerful role models for all the young girls watching. These three films are some of the more modern Disney films, and they all make an attempt…

    “Beauty and the Beast” is a classic fairy tale that has been retold through various media such as oral storytelling, written short story, opera, film and musical theatre. With each rendition the story is given a new perspective and a focus on different elements for the reader/audience to consider. In 1946 Jean Cocteau adapted Madame Leprince de Beaumont’s written short story of “Beauty and the Beast” for the film, Beauty and the Beast, starring Jean Marais and Josette Day. Each of these versions offers their own unique approach to the tale and have become classics in their own right. De Beaumont’s story was written so as to have it read and enjoyed by adults and children, whereas Cocteau’s film is aimed primarily at…

    Another important event I realized was different, was the fact that when Simon, Ralph and Jack, in the book, go looking for the beast, it is dark, which can explain why Ralph cannot see that the “beast” is actually a man whereas in the film this important event happens in broad daylight which is not very credible from a spectator’s point of view.…

    Most Americans could say that they have at least heard of Cinderella and her fairy godmother. In the German Version of Cinderella, “Aschenputtel,” there is no Fairy godmother. In “Aschenputtel,” Cinderella’s mother tells her “Dear child, remain pious and good, and then our dear God will always protect you, and I will look down on you from heaven and be near you." Later in the story Cinderella asks her father to bring home the first twig that brushes his hat. When given the twig Cinderella takes it to her mother’s grave and it grows into a magnificent tree. Cinderella then prays under the tree and pigeons and turtledoves bring Cinderella anything she wishes. These birds represent Cinderella’s mother’s spirit watching over her poor daughter. Animals, such as birds and mice, also appear in the Disney classic, but are more aides then guardians to Cinderella. These animals are introduced as humorous instead of saviors in the Disney version. The animals help her clean the house and do chores. Later on they also are transformed into steeds and drivers to take Cinderella to the ball. These differences give each story its lighter and darker feelings and dynamics affecting the readers’ emotions towards the animals and Cinderella.…

    The book and movie had quite a few differences. First off, in the beginning of the book, it showed Vernon Dursley was going to work, and saw all these people in robes (wizards) celebrating. Dursley got super annoyed by all this, and also by the owls fluttering all around him. In the movie, it started off with Dumbledore turning off the lights.…
