re: the disney thing, if you ever have time & energy & are so inclined, would be very interested to read!

i mean mostly i was just gonna watch each of the films (snow white, cinderella, and sleeping beauty, these being the films actually based on fairy tales & made during walt disney’s lifetime) and compare them to the original stories (or like, the ones most similar to them/that they were most likely based on. iirc, two grimms tales and a perrault? or the other way around? i’d have to check) and play spot-the-difference

i have some rly basic knowledge of walt disney’s personal life and politics that i was gonna tie in there, but tbh i haven’t rly started hardcore research into that yet and probably won’t bcos that’s way too much for a relatively small project

i mean i might do all three movies for funsies over the summer if ur rly interested, but i don’t have like, special expert knowledge or anything, i was just gonna make lists, you could probably do that urself if ur so inclined, my take on it is not Special

#we're supposed to have discussion questions so i was gonna be like 'do you see these changes repeated in later movies' wrt the template thin #listen i'm a big nerd but if i can do things by making my classmates ask questions i WILL #legit most of the others were assigned fairy tales from a specific culture #and they just read the stories to the class and asked questions abt the motifs #i wasn't gonna do like........ a lot of effort #bcos while i do find the history fascinating i am BY NO MEANS an expert on disney #and becoming one for a class project is not on my list of things to do #i am learning to underachieve #....what was my point #ah yes #this is a v fun topic for me and i like doing analysis #but like... there are MUCH better sources than me out there #pls do not come to me as any sort of authority #Anonymous
