Disney: Mickey Mouse in the right of law and a Sleeping Beauty castle.

Today I am sending you another post full of Disneybcuriosities, which you can complete with information collected in earlier note devoted to the Disney animation.

• Many of the places and buildings appearing in the fairy tales of Disney have their original in reality: they are well-known monuments of nature, monumental palaces and castles and towns popular among tourists. This is an interesting challenge for fans of iconic animations - visit all these places and see for yourself what inspired the creators of the tales.
  Have a look at this website:

Beauty and the Beast, Alsace, France

• According to American copyright and intellectual property laws, Mickey Mouse (and many other characters from the Disney Universe) should have gone to the public domain a long time ago. It did not happen, thanks to the constant efforts of the lawyers, who refused to release the gold mine from their hands.

• One of the most beloved Disney fairy tales of my daughter is still "Hercules". And the song "Zero to Hero" is a real gem, see the video below, how the original was created: extensive choreography, synchronization of animated lips movements with their acting prototypes and costumes really impress with attention to detail.

• The internet is full of author's alterations of Disney character's designs, but not all of them delight with the implementation and original presentation of the topic. Illustrator Anoosha approached the topic creatively, presenting the whole gallery of modernized Disney princesses and moving elements of their fairy-tale lifestyle to the modern realities. And so Tiana became an entrepreneurial businesswoman, Bella - a representative of fandom and geekgirl, Ariel - anthropologist, and Jasmine a travel blogger. It is hard not to fall in love!

• Have you ever heard of the Peter Pan syndrome or the Cinderella complex? Characters presented in Disney's fairy tales attracted not only minor animation fans, but also psychologists. Although the problems faced by the protagonists of these stories and the disturbing symptoms that they reveal are not in most cases the product of the imagination of the creators of popular movies, the latter have amplified these - as if not looking - slightly pathological cases and interested academic circles. So if you want to know what's wrong with Sleeping Beauty and how a disorder called the Rapunzel Syndrome manifests, read this article below:

• Add this text too - you will learn from it what disturbances the residents of the Hundred Acre Wood deal with, for example the heroes of "Winnie the Pooh" (property rights to the heroes and the content of A. A. Milne's books are currently Disney).
