De los Grimm a Disney. Un estudio narratológico de la adaptación de Blancanieves

Abstract

The works of the Disney Studios have been widely critisized from its inception. The filmography of the “Factory” has received both attacks and praise from every direction, and its creators —especially its founder— have been accused of defending diverse political principles under the camouflage of their films’ naivety. In most cases, this criticism has relied on simple intuition and ideological prejudice.The aim of the present analysis is approaching the first animated feature film produced by the Disney Studios so as to characterize the process carried out by the Company’s creative staff when rewriting a popular tale by The Brothers Grimm. The narratologic study of the operations taken will try to detect whether, in this case, there was a hidden agenda in Disney activity or rewriting responded to less militant goals.
