Disney 1

a) Look at the list of Disney films in the Destination Research Guide. Can Disney films be considered a genre? If so, how would you describe that particular genre? If you disagree, what reasons do you have?

b) What are the common genre features and patterns that Disney films have? i. What is the origin of the stories for the majority of Disney films?

ii. Can this also be called a genre? iii. How closely have the film stories remained to the original?


i think disney films can be considered as a genre , as they all share the same genre conventions as one another. they fall into films that have the same narrative and the genre is somewhat ' fairytale' with a moral to teach.

The narrative in the film will always have some sort of romance present in it, also the films wud closely follow propp character theory and the origin of films of film such as beauty and the beast, cinderalla ...use old values and beliefs and presents the idealogies in the disney film.

The films have remained quiet close to the original, we also see many re-makes of movies.
