Consider the character of Gaston, an addition to the original story. What is his function in the film? Why might his addition be necessary for today’s audiences? In the Disney film “Beauty and the Beast”, Gaston is a callous and brutish man who thinks he deserves anything he wants just because he is good-looking. “No one says no to Gaston!” He has always been around people who build him up, such as his awkward, little friend, LeFou, who even sings a song about how great Gaston is. Gaston has never learned humility or how to be gentle. Gaston is a symbol for Belle’s sisters, for she has no sisters in the Disney movie.

Other than being the main characters, John Marcher from The Beast in the Jungle and the Narrator from The Figure in the Carpet have something in common. Both John and the Narrator spent a lot of time thinking, wondering, and trying to find out some sort of secret- but the answers, there or not, are negative in both stories.

It is often believed that pictures speak louder than words. However, when comparing a book to a movie, this quote is totally not applicable. The purpose of creating a movie from a book is mainly to bring the characters to life and make the story more relatable. Fantasies, especially, are unrealistic and hence a movie makes the fantasy come to life. The Princess Bride was originally a book which was then filmed as a movie to recreate the story.

This photo still of Mrs. Potts and Chip from the 1991 film “Beauty and the Beast” represents the correlation between early childhood and animism. During early childhood, it is common for children to think objects have the ability to become alive and take on human characteristics. In the film, “Beauty and the Beast” many natural objects are brought to life and given the opportunity to take on human qualities. For example, Mrs. Potts (Angela Lansbury) and Chip (Bradley Pierce) were actually humans but were turned into household objects due to a curse but were able to keep their personalities. A great example of how it’s easy for a child to think of objects as alive is the mother (Mrs. Potts) and son (Chip) duo in the movie.

Society is an ever evolving element of life, and as society has changed over the years, so has works by authors and directors. 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.

The movie “Ever After” by Andy Tennant, and The short story Cinderella by Perrault, are both very different takes on the story of Cinderella. Perrault’s version of the story is the story that most of us have grown up with. It’s captivating and magical, but also it’s very one-dimensional, with a “magic pumpkin” and a “fairy godmother”. While, Tennant’s version is by far more realistic in nature, there is no magic pumpkin, but there is a prince who becomes her husband, an evil stepmother, and a pretty, kind hearted girl who slaves away doing as her stepmother demands. The “fairy godmother” does not randomly appear from no where, in “Ever After”, instead she is replaced by the great inventor Leonardo Da Vinic.

Walt Disney has been making girls think that in order to be beautiful you have to be the perfect shape and size. (Shortridge). Some people believe that the Disney Princesses are great role models for children because Mulan teaches us to never give up on the strengths we have just because we are girls, Belle teaches us to never judge a book by its cover, and Pocahontas shows us real princesses are strong leaders. On the other hand, some individuals feel that Disney Princesses are bad role models because of their unrealistic body appearance, telling girls every marriage ends with a happily ever after when you get married at a young age, and saying every girl needs a man in order to be happy. Both sides have valid points but in reality everyone
