Disney Discourse- Producing the magic kingdom- edited by Eric Smoodin

When reading this book it discussed about little part of Disney audiences and consumers and talked a little bit about Alice In wonderland at the beginning, when reading these chapters I found them very interesting and thought that they could link to my topic.

Alice In Wonderland: page 11- "Disney cartoons experienced peaks and valleys in terms of critical acceptance: in particular, immediate past war years through to the production of Cinderella 1950 and Alice In Wonderland 1951 marked a general decline for the cartoons among the movie reviewers"

This page proved that not all Disney films were accepted as ideas as they were declined as idea's proving that they may not be looked upon as the best Disney cartoon films however both of these cartoons have now been developed into live-action films and both have had an amazing response compared to the reviews back then, suggesting that Burton's remake on Alice In Wonderland is actually more popular than the original cartoon ever was.

Children and animality as film audiences and consumers - page 211-232- "The fantasy positions laid out (for both children and adults) in associations of children with animals circulate around the conflated two paradigmatic distinctions between child and adult and that between animal and human" 

This suggests that combining animals and humans are seen as an connections between animals and humans have emotional connections and they associate children with animal and that this can affect the viewers and for example the relationship between the two main characters in Frankeenweenie can relate to this of sparky and his owner.
