| Summary: | 碩士 === 臺東師範學院 === 兒童文學研究所 === 91 === Every summer entertainment companies brought forth movies which targeted at children. The marketing was becoming more and more novel while the box office was always reaching new highs. Disney Pictures, among others, put on a motion picture applicable to all ages almost each year. The stories ranged from western tales to oriental ones, and the materials renovated year by year, either by revised from world masterpieces or by creating a brand new one. The success to business advertisement of these pictures lured a lot of children. In addition, the creativity and style also counted for the inevitable attraction, and even formed a model by themselves.
This research, based on Vladimir Propp’s Functions of Narrative, analyzes the motion pictures published by Disney Pictures. These movies always began with narrative scenario, and the roles were all good or evil. The leading character went through mountains of trials, passed all the crises with magic, and finally defeated the evil side and completed the mission. In the end, the evil lead was punished; the prince and the princess had lived happily together forever and ever. However, this kind of fixed composition is not changed by different kinds of plays. Disney uses a conventional fairy-tail narrative style in her motion pictures. By exploiting media like movies, though, Disney chooses the structure of fairy tales.
Disney’s also breaks the limitation of traditional cast to add some delightful tastes other than paper-based plays. The originality of all parts in the movies is elaborately portrayed as well. The cast is designed for entertaining in the first place, besides the plot of the play.
