Disney Movies and the Stories That Inspired Them - Page 3

From as far back as the Laugh-O-Gram films that Walt Disney made in Kansas City, Disney has long looked to children's stories and fairy tales for inspiration to entertain its audiences. Sometimes these stories stay true to their original telling and other times Disney reinvents characters and plotlines to create new twists. Disney storytellers have added new heroes, alternate endings, and they have even made the villain a good guy, as is the case of Frozen's Elsa in Disney's take on Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen. Anything is up for changing and everything can be rewritten.
