The artistic re-creations of fairy-tale plots and characters in film--the parodies, the aesthetic experimentation, and the mixing of genres to engender new insights into art and life--mirror possibilities of estranging ourselves from designated roles, along with the conventional patterns of the classical tales.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Here, scholars from film, folklore, and cultural studies move discussion beyond the well-known Disney movies to the many other filmic adaptations of fairy tales and to the widespread use of fairy tale tropes, themes, and motifs in cinema. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pauline Greenhill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0874217814\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780874217810\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Utah State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 284","brand":"Pauline Greenhill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072858779903,"sku":"9780874217810","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6bb18769-2eca-4979-a036-2dbf7f205a91.jpg?v=1685444352","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fairy-tale-films-pauline-greenhill-9780874217810","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
