Cinderella Movie Comparison

I don’t think that anyone was really asking for a live action “remakes of Disney’ animated movies, but it seems like we are getting them any way. Kenneth Branaugh’s “Cinderella” was fine, “Maleficent” was fine, I don’t know if Tim Burton’s 2010 “Alice in Wonderland” fits in the same family, but we have been getting big budget mediocre Disney remakes pretty often with a ton more announced. Jon Favreau’s “The Jungle Book” took it’s source material and improved upon it, making a movie that people can’t help but love and be in awe of. “The Jungle Book” is directed by Jon Favreau and stars Neel Sethi with the voices of Bill Murray, Idris Elba, Ben Kingsley, and Christopher Walken. When Mowgli is threatened by Shere-Khan, he decides to leave the …show more content…

Coupled with the beautiful computer generated jungle, the beautiful computer generated animals really made you wonder just how computer generated they were. There were times in this movie, that if these characters hadn’t been talking I would think I was watching footage. Baloo especially always made you wonder if they just put peanut better on the roof of a real bears mouth and just did some great lip-syncing. However, there are some characters that are obviously CG, it’s a little distracting but nothing I couldn’t get over. In addition to the beautiful look of the animals, the performances for them were …show more content…

portraying Tony Stark in “Iron Man”. (Which not surprisingly, Jon Favreau also made.) Neel Sethi did very well for the most part, there were times where I was blown away and other times he played the “child actor card” a little too often, but I was impressed. It was a lot better than most could do at 12. Mowgli was so inventive in this movie, he had clear purpose that the rest of the jungle couldn’t meet in this movie. His inventions were fascinating and I wish we got a few more during the movie. It really touched on every one having a purpose, and a specific thing they are good

  • Comparing Walt Disney's Cinderella And The Grimm Brothers

    Society is an ever evolving element of life, and as society has changed over the years, so has works by authors and directors. As authors and directors gain influence from inspiring sources, they are also gaining influences from the surrounding culture and the time period that they are living in. This may even be subconsciously. New historicism is the theory that explains this and specifically focuses on just how the time period of a work changes and shows how an author's experiences come to life through a work. In Walt Disney’s, Cinderella, the time period glamorizes Cinderella’s journey to happiness while the Grimm Brothers version connects more with reality, teaching that media evolves to what society wants to see.

    In Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, Jurgis and his family attempt to survive in a malicious society. In this jungle of a town, rotten meat is being packaged in order to save money. Throughout the novel, the immigrants are faced with greedy capitalists who take advantage of the family’s ignorance and naivety in order to make money. The symbols of corruption, a jungle-like setting, and the tension between family and a work-based lifestyle transparently contribute to the unifying theme of anti-capitalism. In other words, this book is not art; this book is propaganda.

    In the excerpts from both James Poniewozik's "The Princess Paradox" and Peggy Orenstein's "Cinderella and Princess Culture", the authors address the growing market of princess products and how big ticket companies are using this knowledge to turn a profit. Both authors are highly respected journalists who have been published in the New York Times multiple times. Each has done their own intensive research on the media's use of princesses and their culture to make money. While both authors address how corporations are finding profit in "princess culture", Poniewozik focuses on how movie studios found princess stories to bring money in from young audiences, while Orenstein appears more concerned with how Disney branded princesses.

    “Always be a good girl, and I will look down from heaven and watch over you.” (Page 1) The Disney Cinderella was released on February 15th, 1950 but the tale told by The Grimm Brothers is a different twist on the Disney classic movie; instead of a fairy godmother and sweet, little mice running around, The Grimm Brothers wrote about a tree growing on Cinderellas mothers’ grave and with the help of tiny birds, every wish Cinderella makes comes true. The violent version of Cinderella by the Grimm Brother explains the struggle she faced trying to get away from her stepsisters but also keeping her humble and kind side looking for true love.

  • Compare And Contrast Cinderella And Ever After

    811 Words  | 4 Pages

    The movie “Ever After” by Andy Tennant, and The short story Cinderella by Perrault, are both very different takes on the story of Cinderella. Perrault’s version of the story is the story that most of us have grown up with. It’s captivating and magical, but also it’s very one-dimensional, with a “magic pumpkin” and a “fairy godmother”. While, Tennant’s version is by far more realistic in nature, there is no magic pumpkin, but there is a prince who becomes her husband, an evil stepmother, and a pretty, kind hearted girl who slaves away doing as her stepmother demands. The “fairy godmother” does not randomly appear from no where, in “Ever After”, instead she is replaced by the great inventor Leonardo Da Vinic.
