"There is something sad in the manner in which Disney 'violated' the literary genre of the fairy tale and packaged his versions in his name through the merchandising of books, toys, clothing and records. Instead of using technology to enhance the communal aspects of narrative and bring about major changes in viewing stories to stir and animate viewers, he employed animators and technology to stop thinking about change, to return to his films, and to long nostalgically for neatly ordered patriarchal realms."
--Jack Zipes, "Breaking the Disney Spell"
I just thought it was really interesting. Talk amongst yourselves.
