Walt Disney was inspired by fairy tales before the famous full-length cartoons were created-here are several shorts he did in the early 1920s (I think my favorite is the "Alice's Wonderland"-the cartoons interacting with humans made me smile, especially the cartoon mouse poking the cat). These are a preview for a future post on Jack Zipes' essay "Breaking the Disney spell"
How adorable! I think the Alice one is my favorite too. By the way, I have quoted something from one of your earlier posts (about the color imagery in the Beauty and the Beast film) in my latest post, and I hope you don't mind. I've linked it all back to your site but if you have any problems with it don't hesitate to let me know :)
