I remember being a child and loving the Disney movies. I am
sure I had almost every movie on VHS, and I was always watching them. I loved
to pretend that I was one of the characters from the movies I would watch.
Still to this day I am a huge Disney fan.
I chose From Grimm to
Disney as my FYS not only because I love Disney movies, but also because I am
very interested in the Grimm fairy tales. Fairy tales fascinate me and I am
excited to learn about the stories that the movies I grew up watching
originated from. I love the nature of the stories, and the sense of wonder that
they bring. In this class I hope to better understand the fairy tales that I have
become so fascinated with. I also want to enhance my analytical skills so that I
will be able to recognize things that I may not have noticed before.
I would have to say that my favorite fairy tale is Beauty
and the Beast. I have always been somewhat of a “hopeless romantic” and I am
always up for a good love story. I love how Beauty and the Beast is not just a
story, but a lesson as well. Things are not always what they seem. There is
more to someone than what is seen from the outside. It is what on the inside
that counts. I love that even though the Beast was aggressive and unattractive,
Belle was able to see past that and fall in love.
