Grimm to Disney

This cartoon of Rapunzel shows her and the prince in the castle. Rapunzel's hair is flowing out of the window and she has two children, a boy and a girl, climbing up her hair. Rapunzel is telling the prince “it was romantic before we had kids. Build some stairs. '' This is more of a comparison to the original tale, since she gave birth to twins and there are children in the cartoon. The symbolism of the hair is that many times, women are seen as beautiful. If a woman has short hair, she is seen as not as beautiful and as rebellious to the patriarchal society. The prince in the Grimm’s version of the tale at first only heard Rapunzel singing and he fell in love with her. He wasn’t sure how to get up the tower so he waited and saw the witch calling out to Rapunzel to let her hair down. From there he was able to do the same and climb up. The comic strip is making fun of it because every night the prince would visit Rapunzel which would be them “dating”. But now that they have

“Bluebeard” and the two adaptations by the brothers Grimm have very similar plots. In “Bluebeard”, the wife is given a key and told not to go into a room and yet curiosity gets the best of her. She goes into the room and finds six other of Bluebeard's wives hanging on the wall wife their throats slit. This causes the wife to drop the key. When Bluebeard gets back he asks for the key back and the wife wasn’t able to get the blood stains off of the key. Thus, Bluebeard has to kill his wife since she saw something she was not supposed to see. Yet, she is able to be saved by her brothers. In the “Fitcher’s Bird”, the sorcerer goes and steals women and tells them not to go into a room. He gives them a key and an egg. The women again go into the room and see a bunch of body parts. This causes them to drop the egg and they aren’t able to get blood stains off of the egg. The sorcerer then has to kill the two women, yet the third woman is clever and leaves the egg in a safe spot before ope

The film version of Hansel and Gretal was incredibly different than of the Grimm brothers version. The biggest difference was that in the Grimms version it was the stepmother who comes up with the plan to leave them in the forest since they are starving and won’t have enough food to keep her and husband along with the kids alive. In the film shows that the mother didn’t have this much cruelty. She is in fact upset with her children; yet, when she and her husband lose them in the forest, she feels the same pain as any mother would feel. She is the one who wants to go back and find them rather than the husband. He tells his wife that Hansel and Gretal would be impossible to find in the forest at night. In the tale, the husband gets walked all over by the wife and is very passive. In the film, he is much more level-headed. The Grimm brothers wrote the fairy tale and didn’t leave much information about the family dynamic other than the father was a lumberjack and that they were poor. The

This cartoon is a play on two fairy tales. The first being “Little Red Riding Hood” and the second being “The Three Little Pigs”. This is a social cartoon since it is made for people to laugh at. Not that political cartoons aren’t laughable but this cartoon doesn’t have any political connection to it. I like this cartoon since it’s different from most cartoons. When I was looking up cartoons for “Little Red Riding Hood”, I found a lot of cartoons that were the wolf stopping Little Red Riding Hood in the forest and asking her where she was going. This one was the first one that made me laugh out loud. I laughed when the wolf got upset and yells, “alright… Who gave me the wrong script?” and Red Riding Hood has her face in her hands and says, “call my agent”. Society isn’t necessarily going to find a message in this comic since it’s just Red Riding Hood talking to the wolf and the wolf getting upset about having the wrong line. For me, the message could be in life, you might be given the

The Story “Cupid and Psyche” is a Greek tale in which Psyche is blessed with beauty and the goddess, Venus, is jealous that people are worshiping Psyche rather than her. Venus orders her son, Cupid, to make the child ugly but instead Cupid messes up and makes her fall in love with him. Years go by and Psyche is never courted and her parents ask why and the gods tell them that her husband is far in the mountains. Cupid never allows Psyche to see him and Psyche's sisters convince her that he is a monster. When Psyche looks at him she realizes that he is in fact a beautiful man. Cupid rushes away and gets injured and leaves Psyche alone. Psyche walks to Venus who gives her challenges. With each challenge, Cupid helps Psyche in someway. On the last challenge, Psyche’s curiosity gets the best of her and she falls into a motionless sleep. Cupid comes to her rescue and wakes her by touching his arrow to her. There are few similarities to “The Frog Prince”. First off, both girls belie

The Disney and Grimm version of “Snow White” are completely different. They have little similarities. Let’s start off with the differences. In Disney’s version, Snow White is an orphan with both parents dead. In the Grimm’s tale, the young girl’s mother dies and she is left with her father and stepmother. The prince shows up in the beginning of the movie and sings a ballad with Snow White instead of staying in the cottage with the dwarfs and asking to keep her. In the movie, the dwarfs have names and personalities, yet in the tale, they have very little characteristics and have no names. The evil queen comes only once in Disney’s version with the apple. In the tale, she comes three times with a lace, comb, and apple. In the very end, the queen dies from trying to push a boulder onto the dwarfs but in the tale she dances in hot iron shoes until she dies. A few similarities is that the apple kills Snow White in both versions. The coffin that Snow White is placed in is built of gold. And
