I just added another link to the Tales of Faerie homepage I wanted to highlight in case you weren't already familiar with it! Visualizing Wonder: Fairy Tales and TV: A Database has some really interesting articles on the history of how fairy tales have been portrayed in the media. I've really enjoyed their series on looking at television commercials through the decades:
2010s
2000s
1990s
1980s
1970s
1960s
1950s
Other highlights:
-Weight-Watching Fairy Tales looks at body image issues and modern versions of fairy tales
-Lots of discussion on OUAT and Grimm
-Their sister site is The International Fairy Tale Filmography, an online database of films with fairy tale themes
They most recently posted this really well done ad for the Guardian, worth a watch:
Ooh, this is wonderful, Kristin! It shows what ads can look like at their best. And that's a great web site, must bookmark it.
ReplyDeleteGreat resource, but it's a little annoying that theFilmography apparently can't sort by year
ReplyDeleteHm that would be a very helpful tool. Maybe you could contact them and ask them to add it! It's still a relatively new resource
DeleteI love your website. It's very complete and beautifully done. I am writing a fantasy adventure children’s book series where faeries feature prominently. The first book, The Lioness of Brumley Hall and Her Most Unusual Grandchildren, is already published. The next book, The Lioness of Brumley Hall and the Faerie Enchantment, will be out at the end of the year. Could you provide a link and/or guest post to my site and I will do the same to yours? More attention needs to be paid to fairy tales and stories. Thank you. Augusta P. Benners

ReplyDeleteVery cool! I have checked out their sister site in the past, and it's wonderful. So glad they decided to expand to TV:)
