Disney is an infamous company that is known to create wonderful animations that tell brilliant myths that have been passed on for centuries. These myths have been slightly altered by Disney to accommodate with its youthful audience. All of these myths are all meant to tell a fairy tale. All of these tales, in which, end in a happy ending. From all that I have learned in class, I feel that there is a lot more to Disney than the innocent aspect of the retelling of stories.
All of these myths seem to tell the same story, according to the Disney movies. It almost always starts with some sort of damsel in distress that overcomes obstacles in which then leads to a blissful ending. Although characters may be named differently and may have different characteristics, they all follow a similar plot, and ironically, all have very similar body outlines that go along with very similar actions.
The irony in the technical level of these templates is, in my opinion, an act of human nature. People tend to slack off in one form or another, especially if they know they can get away with it. Disney is a huge corporation that have obviously reused the same templates for a variety of their movies. In technical terms, this can be looked at as repetition. In conceptual terms, however, this can be looked at very differently.
Audiences view these conceptually different, however, despite the technological identities between these movies. As a member of the audience, I view these movies conceptually different as well. Each story holds different characters, that have their own unique physical characteristics, despite their outline. The voices of each character, the drawn in differences, and the aspect of each character are different from the other movies, thus personalizing the movie. The magic in each movie holds true, regardless of the repeated template usage.
