Inspiration - Writing from Cultural Legends and Fairytales

Walt Disney is well known for adapting fairytales to the big screen, from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves by the Brothers Grimm, to Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid/The Snow Queen (the inspiration for Frozen). It's no coincidence that Disney drew from these rich sources. Fairytales...

- Fairytales have lasted for a long time; have meanings, morals, images that transcend time. Transcend time *and* different cultures.  Timeless, universal appeal. They reflect core parts of the human experience; reflect deep/resonant truths about the human experience; they capture our imagination and impart wisdom.


- include ideas I read in the "official" Disney biography
