Comparing Fairy Tales And The Disney Version Of Cinderella

Have you ever wondered if there were other versions of Cinderella? Well there are, there isn’t just one version of Cinderella.

The two Cinderella stories that I’m going to be comparing are two Disney films. The first one I am going to discuss was released in early spring of 1950, called “Cinderella”. The second story is a remake called, “Another Cinderella Story” released in 2008. Both films based on the same story line, yet completely different.

A lot of the fairy tale stories that we have seen as young adults and even as adults are original folk tale stories that have been modified and rewritten to accommodate our new cultures. Cinderella happens to be one of these stories that have been changed over the years. There are many different versions of Cinderella, an African Cinderella, a Hungarian Cinderella and even a Chinese version. All of the Cinderella’s are similar in plot, but the author dictates the story’s theme based on the people whom he is writing for which completely changes the story’s tone, mood and other elements.

When most people think of the movie, "Cinderella';, they think of the animated Disney version with the little mice and the happy ending where Cinderella marries the prince and they live happily ever after. While the movie "Ever After'; is based on "Cinderella';, it is not animated, but still has many of the same characteristics as the Disney version.

The story of Cinderella is well-known by most people, however, there are several versions of this beloved tale. There is the one told by the Grimm Brothers, depicting a world where moral choices can affect your life in extreme ways, but it is Walt Disney’s 1950 cartoon version of Cinderella that most children think of when the story is mentioned. This version leaves behind both the question of morality and the bloody punishments, allowing children to enjoy an eye-catching, G-rated film. Both of these versions use their respective mediums to emphasize what the creator deems to be most important: a lesson about piety and goodness in the Grimm tale and the entertainment factor in the Disney cartoon. These are each shown in different ways, according to the medium used.

There are some key differences between Walt Disney’s Cinderella and Charles Perrault’s Cinderella. In Charles Perrault’s tale, Cinderella’s father is not dead, but the father is controlled by the stepmother.

Cinderella’s glass slipper comes off on the second

After reading the Novel Cinder, and watching the Disney movie Cinderella, I now understand how these characters are very different and very alike. When it comes to these two characters some of the differences are very clear, and some of the similarities are very clear because of the way the author and the director are explaining it. Although, Cinder and Cinderella have many similarities like, both being 16, both went to the ball, and both were treated badly by their step moms. They also have many differences like, cinder being hated by a lot of people and cinderella being liked by a lot of people. Just because they have many differences doesn’t mean they make them very different people, it just means they have different interests or problems.

In the two stories “Cinderella” Brothers Grimm and “The Little Glass Slipper,” They have a majority of themes, characters, settings, and other things that were not mentioned in the original Cinderella. Because of the new and interesting versions, comparing and contrasting come in handy. So, how do the two newer versions relate to one another, and how do the new versions relate to the original story?

Stephanie, I agree completely with your summary of the versions of Cinderella presented by Perault, the Grimm Brothers, and Disney. I found it interesting that the Disney movie was able incorporate elements of both the Perault and Grimm stories. The fairy godmother and glass slippers in the Disney movie are similar to the Perault version of the story. I found the Perault version of the tale to be more similar to the movie because of its message and happy ending. They were also able to incorporate elements from the more violent Grimm tale.
