Applying Theory
I have decided to apply Vladimir Propps theory to another well known Walt Disney fairytale production. After studying Cinderella and applying Propps functions to the storyline i made some connections between significant functions which did not occur in Cinderella but did however occur in The Lion King. By applying Propps theory to the Lion King as well as Cinderella i feel that i will have a more indepth knowledge of two disimilar fairytales, one set with a more traditional structure (Cinderella). Cinderella portrays all of the typical conventions of a fairytale, with a princess enslaved by her wicked stepmother and then rescued by the prince charming. The other (Lion King) which is set in Africa and is dominated by magical characters from all different species of the animal kingdom.
