It has often been criticized that Walt Disney’s “They lived happily ever after” stories such as Sleeping Beauty and Snow White do not represent the real U.S. society. In order to wipe off this criticism, Walt Disney Pictures released Enchanted in which Giselle the heroine is sent to New York City by evil Queen Narcissa from a fairytale land, Andalasia where she was supposed to get married with Prince Edward to live happily ever after. The movie appears to be a success because Walt Disney Pictures introduces the traditional plots that they have valued for a long time and cleverly intertwines them with the contemporary alternatives, or the facts of life, some of which should have been mentioned in Disney’s works in order to let children know that “living happily ever after” cannot always happen in our real lives. When I checked people’s criticism on this successful movie in Japan and the U.S. written on the internet, I found interesting differences in their comments and opinions in these two countries. Why do these differences exist? How differently do people in these two countries perceive “They lived happily ever after”? And why? In this paper, I will conduct a socio-cultural analysis on this Walt Disney movie, Enchanted, in order to answer these questions. 「ウォルト・ディズニーの『眠れる森の美女』や『白雪姫』等に見る『2人はその後幸せに暮らしました。』はアメリカの現実社会を適切に表していない。」とたびたび批評されてきたが、そのような批評を消し去る為に、ウォルト・ディズニーピクチャーズは『魔法にかけられて』を制作した。 |
