"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" Changes in the Character of the Princess in the Films of Walt Disney and his Studio.
BARTLOVÁ, Andrea
The thesis focuses to the evolution of female characters in Disney cartoons. It investigates whether the characters change in any way and if so, what changes happen. The work is chronologically arranged and divided to several time periods. Each chapter contains particular fairytales which are mutually compared. Every fairytale is also set in the historical context. We will also explore whether the films are influenced by the period context. The aim of the thesis is to find out what the chosen fairytales have in common and how the main female characters evolve. This is described in 4 different eras, which are following: from the classical period within years 1937-1967 we have Snow White and Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. In years 1967-1988 there were no films with a princess as a main heroine and the studio dealt with a crisis. In the 1980s the company management changed and Michael Eisner became the studio managing director. Within years 1989-2005 many successful films were created in the studio. We chose The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Pocahontas. Robert Iger has been the studio managing director since 2005. We chose Tangled, Frozen and Moana from the last period, which hasn't finished yet. Eventually we mention the Disney studio impact on society. We study its marketing abilities and the use of advertisement. The conclusion shows how the heroines changed from girls who needed to be saved by the Prince Charming over girls who took their fate in their own hands to princesses equal to men.

ABSTRACT This bachelor`s thesis deals with the significance and the impact of the animated fairy tale in the preschool education. The goal of the integration of the animated fairy tale is to have a positive influence on the preschool age group. The work also points out significance of the choice of the animated fairy tale in view of the age, the level of difficulty and ability of children in the preschool education. The work is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part contains several significant chapters. It specifies the very essence of the fairy tale. Then it illustrates the animated fairy tale through the eyes of various authors and from the historical view. It shows the diversity related to the authors of animated fairy tales and its classification. It also aims to reveal the complexity of the production of the animated fairy tales at the present time and presents a range of relating vocations. It emphasizes especially the chapters titled ``The significance of the fairy tales{\crqq} and ``Bedtime story{\crqq}. The practical part engages in the research project that was carried out in two different preschools, in Písek and in České Budějovice. It was accomplished in the way of the drawing and a moderated dialogue. The research at FAMO (The Film Academy of Miroslav Ondříček) in Písek was very important. Many discussions took place with the authors and current students. The purpose of the thesis was to determine the influence that an animated fairy tale has upon children in a preschool establishment and to find out the importance it has for them. Besides that it aimed to detect whether it would be possible to regulate the discovered influence. The research results have been processed and evaluated on the basis of the audio and video recordings and drawings.
