Zipes and Mollet SummaryTracey Mollet is a researcher of modern history. He received his undergraduate degree from Oxford and his master's degree from Leeds. She primarily researched the Nazi regime in Germany, from 1933 to 1945. However, as she worked on her master's degree, she became increasingly interested and fascinated by the animation produced by the famous Disney Studios during World War II. This particular topic hasn't been researched or studied: which made her even more interested and motivated. His theses on his research paper argue that Disney Productions from 1932 presents itself as a coping mechanism to the depression of the time. He primarily used the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to support his argument that Disney recreated the literary world in a way that helped societies deal with the Great Depression. He said that new ideas or literary reforms helped focus on hope, optimism and happy endings. “Despite the undeniable imaginative world of Disney shorts, it would be a grave mistake to associate people's attachment to the Disney brand as nothing more than a desire for escapism.” (Page 113) He indicated that the company needed something with which they could not identify themselves to “escape”. He also states that Disney changed fairy tales and made them more suitable for American society. Disney represented the “American dream” of happy endings and happy endings transformed social myths and dreams into a transformative literary form and helped gray and cloudy America have some hope. Jack David Zipes is a retired professor at the University of Minnesota. Columbia University.Also at the University... middle of paper... Zipes absolutely dislikes the idea of ​​Disney using original stories to tell his edited versions of the stories. He claims that Disney was simply selling what it sold better at the right time. I also understand Zipes' points. Disney hasn't gotten to the point of having multiple TV channels and building an entire empire taking care of the company. But knowingly or unknowingly, one cannot ignore the positive influences on American society and literature. In conclusion both researchers have excellent points, and Mollet also acknowledged Zipes in his article. Mollet sees more the positive effects of Disney: optimism, sign of hope, etc. Zipes simply saw it as a not-so-good version of the original stories. It's a topic that hasn't been studied much. I believe more research should be done on the topic and more interesting revelations could be made.
