Real world..........
How
does a real life woman/girl differ from Disney princesses was my question in
mind? Disney’s characters have a given quality of being beautiful, but is there
anything behind that…..not really, but in fairy tale movies sometimes
that is just what is needed to capture the eye of the beholder. In real life
there are so many more aspects of women that matter other that beauty; inner
beauty for example cannot be drawn on a paper, if reflects from the person’s
speech, manners and beliefs. Real world portrays darkness in both people and environments;
in fairy tale the darkness is colorful and evil people often silly, not so
scary.
Article
“Breaking the Disney Spell” by Jack Zipes points out the different views that the traditional
fairy tales and Disney fairy tales provides us; “The diversion of the Disney
fairy tale is geared toward non-reflective viewing. Everything is on the
surface, one-dimensional, and we are to delight in one-dimensional portrayal
and thinking, for it is adorable, easy, and comforting in its simplicity.”
(Zipes 352) The traditional fairy tale women/girls are transformed into the big
screen still much as domesticated, fragile things, but their beauty is
exaggerated to a new level. These cartoon films cannot quite bring the female
characters alive; multidimensional images are difficult to create so the
concentration remains on the beauty, the beauty alone due to the fact that
drawing beauty is easier that creating beauty with attempt to show the
characters beliefs, dreams and feelings beyond the normal happiness and
sadness. But this beautiful image attracts audiences, and for that Disney
succeeded in transforming the fairy tale image to the screen. Real world and
fairy tale stay apart; Disney fairy tale is the dreamy alternative reality that
we will continue to fall from time to time as amusing it is.
