Once upon a time, Walt Disney Studios began animating fairy tales. They turned figures from folklore and literature into the brightly colored, singing and dancing characters we know and love today. If you’ve ever wondered exactly what was changed –why, for example, Disney’s Little Mermaid lives happily ever after instead of dissolving into seafoam as H.C. Andersen’s does – then this class is for you! Using your reading, writing, and oration skills, you will explore and unpack the various cultural differences that produced the Disney tales with which so many of us are familiar. This course fulfills your O (Oral Communication Requirement) and COM2 requirements.
