Disneyfication

Organization is directly influencing the mind of little children. The company succeeded because of the creation of films and animated features that are interesting, have great entertainment value but highly predictable. The films and cartoons usually contain humor and music. As mentioned earlier the stories are heavily edited with a great dose of “Disneyfication” where the characters are “anthropomorphized, neotenized animal characters; formulaic heroes and sidekicks with stereotypical representations of gender and ethnicity

• The core content of Disney are elements that can be found in:
• Classic folk and fairy tales.
• The originals come from Europe and other parts of the world.
