Compare Fairy-tale Films Beyond Disney by Jack Zipes, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

The fairy tale has become one of the dominant cultural forms and genres internationally, thanks in large part to its many manifestations on screen. Yet the history and relevance of the fairy-tale film have largely been neglected. In this follow-up to Jack Zipes's award-winning bookThe Enchanted Screen(2011),Fairy-Tale Films Beyond Disneyoffers the first book-length multinational, multidisciplinary exploration of fairy-tale cinema. Bringing together twenty-three of the world's top fairy-tale scholars to analyze the enormous scope of these films, Zipes and colleagues Pauline Greenhill and Kendra Magnus-Johnston present perspectives on film from every part of the globe, from Hayao Miyazaki'sSpirited Away, to Jan Å vankmajer'sAlice, to the transnational adaptations of1001 Nightsand Hans Christian Andersen. Contributors explore filmic traditions in each area not only from their different cultural backgrounds, but from a range of academic fields, including criminal justice studies, education, film studies, folkloristics, gender studies, and literary studies. Fairy-Tale Films Beyond Disneyoffers readers an opportunity to explore the intersections, disparities, historical and national contexts of its subject, and to further appreciate what has become an undeniably global phenomenon. | Fairy-tale Films Beyond Disney by Jack Zipes, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
