This essay explores the additions and changes to the original fairy tale that Disney Company inserted when they produced the 1992 animated version of "Beauty and the Beast". It explains the advantages that animation has when making changes to book and gives other examples of when the Disney Company has done so.
From the Paper:
"The Disney company's animated feature film Beauty and the Beast (1992) tells a well-known folk story in a fresh way, developing personalities for the characters that were not apparent in the fairy tale from which the story is taken. The film added other features and characters, including something feasible only in a fairy tale or an animated film, anthropomorphic furnishings that turn out to be enchanted servants left with their changed master. An animated film is built of abstract images, for no matter how much the artist may attempt to render reality, it is always only an image of reality and thus an abstraction. The abstract images of the animated film are developed so as to serve the needs of the story, to convey not only the details of the story as such but also the underlying meaning which constitutes plot."
