Retaining the Charm of the Prince Charming: A Critical Analysis of Disney’s Movie Adaptations of the Classical Fairy Tales
Dr Astha Parashar
Abstract
Indubitably, the classical fairy tales of Brothers Grimm, Madame Beaumont, Perrault and Anderson
reflect an intense competition among girls in which there can be only one winner because there is only
one prize. And that prize is the prince charming who is the most affluent and handsome man in their eyes.
The winner is always the most beautiful girl who is definitely the heroine. The present paper endeavours
to analyse the narratives of Disney’s movie adaptations of the classical tales vis-à-vis the question
whether they have succeeded in curbing the craze for the Prince Charming or not.
