HOW FAIRY TALES LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER (ANALYZ...

What happened to the classic fairy tale? Do we still read the 'old and dusty tales' of wonder
to our children or would we rather take them to the cinema? The fairy tale boom has reached
Hollywood where popular tales are currently transformed into entertainment movies. Makers of
films and TV series have become the storytellers of the digital age - a transition that
frequently leads to discussions about how these new forms limit or contribute to the further
development and preservation of the traditional fairy tale. But what exactly is a traditional
fairy tale? The book follows the history of the tale  how it has been changing colors and how
it has been adapting and surviving for centuries. The main focus lies on the literary and
multi-medial analysis of two popular fairy tales: Rapunzel and Little Red Riding Hood  which
have not only been adapted to the screen recently but have been repeatedly altered throughout
the centuries. Follow the journey of the fairy tale from its most basic form  i.e. oral
storytelling  to a written and illustrated commitment that shaped the general image of fairy
tales for forthcoming generations  to its newest form: the visualization through new and
digital media.
