As authors and directors gain influence from inspiring sources, they are also gaining influences from the surrounding culture and the time period that they are living in. This may even be subconsciously. New historicism is the theory that explains this and specifically focuses on just how the time period of a work changes and shows how an author's experiences come to life through a work. In Walt Disney’s, Cinderella, the time period glamorizes Cinderella’s journey to happiness while the Grimm Brothers version connects more with reality, teaching that media evolves to what society wants to see.

Grimm uses the characters of Cinderella and Snow White to perpetuate the idea that women should lead quietly domestic lives. In Cinderella, Cinderella spent most of her time in a kitchen.

Understandably, the greatest differences are seen in the Disney version of Beauty and the Beast because the story is geared towards younger children and is in a movie format as opposed to a short story. This requires the addition of side characters to draw out and slow down the plot of the original folktale somewhat. These side characters remove some of the mystery of the castle itself, as the movie shows characters acting to lead Maurice to the food and fire. Unlike the other two stories, Belle does not trust Beast blindly, attempting to leave once, only regaining some trust through Beast’s rescue of her. The Disney movie also leaves out the enchanted ring from the original folktale, which opens up a plot device increasing suspense; unlike the original where she could immediately return, she is now stuck in a basement with her father.
