Disney has successfully given viewers of their movies warm and comforting feelings because there is always a happy ending. Disney productions have also taught young children the difference between good and evil. Films such as “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” and “Cinderella” are two of their earlier movies that are vastly different, but share similarities as well. For instance, both Cinderella and Snow White are beautiful princesses that are forced to be maids and have similar antagonists in their stories, which are evil step mothers who are jealous of their step daughter 's beauty. In the Disney film,“Snow White,” she had been deprived of having any kind of relationship with the outside world. There is a scene where she is lying down on the cold ground while sobbing. Suddenly, dozens of forest animals came to investigate. Snow White befriended the wild animals and established a connection with them that was so strong they made it their mission to guide and …show more content…
Which also helps our younger generation learn moral values. For instance, in Snow White the evil queen, who is also her stepmother, envies her step daughter so much that she wants her dead. Yet, Snow White still remains loving and doesn 't react in a negative way. For instance, the scene where Snow White is on the ground and sobbing hysterically these adorable forest animals appear. She speaks to them in a soft voice with kindness and concern for their fright. Her actions are commendable because I would have probably screamed and said, “What are all of you looking at! Go away!” Snow White on the other hand, handled that very maturely given her mental state at that moment. Even though Snow White had been deceived by the evil queen and ended up being poisoned, she still achieved her happily ever after. Love and kindness prevailed, while evil had been destroyed and conquered. Therefore, teaching children a valuable
Nelson mentions first, that Snow White, has a very prominent evil presence throughout, unlike the latter films created by Disney. Not only is there a strong, and terrifying antagonist, but evil exists before we even meet the evil witch. The evil that we see involves imagination, and nature when Snow White journeys through the dark woods and ultimately scares her own self with imagination. We can assume that this evil is from the wicked queen, but evil also resides within darkness and nature. Not only this, but the transformation of the evil queen into an old witchy lady with an apple is also terrifying.
I know that the stepmother was good to Snow White until a “Malicious Women” came along and said “when you know that the day the king dies, your share of the inheritance will be a small one to your stepdaughter’s share.” (Lasair Gheug 90) In my opinion, this quote directly shows that money is everything. Money can make or break a relationship. For the queen, money was what made her fall for the king, but will make her want to get rid of her stepdaughter.

From its onset with its first feature-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937, Disney has grown to become a worldwide phenomenon today.

The moral of this story is do not use corrupt power because it can hurt someone economically. In “Snow White” the lower class is worried about jobs and money to support the family and the upper class like the queen thinks of how to make money from the lower class. In other words, the poor will continue to get poorer and the rich will continue to get richer. This issue shows the perspective of class difference
After hours of work, Snow White decides to make a small snack using the apple to turn it into an apple pie. Once it finished cooking, she took a small biting and immediately felt light headed and short of breath. Only a minute later she was passed out and in a coma, unable to move or call for help. When Dopey came home five hours later he found her on the floor with a piece of the pie next to her and worst of all she wasn’t moving. He started freaking not knowing what to do.

The Walt Disney company does not only have an immense amount of economic power on the American entertainment industry and popular culture, but they have acquired influence across the world. The company has recorded that one quarter of the 45 billion dollars Disney makes annually comes for the international market (Hongmei). It can be said that Disney is one of the best-known companies or brands in the worlds and covers a wide range of markets from films to television programs, to merchandise and publishing not to mention the theme parks. However, the inspiration to expand globally does not completely rest on income and to promote capitalism within the company.
