Feminism, masculinity and fairy tale figure within an extended
analysis of Disney's Beauty and the Beast (1991), in light of the
live-action remake, Beauty and the Beast (2017). The history of the
fairy tale Beauty and the Beast is compared with Disney's
adaptation which centralises the figure of the Beast rather than
the heroine, Belle. A flagship during a key period of Disney's
corporate expansion in the early 1990s, in the first section of the
book, the production is situated with respect to gender histories
in the corresponding period: the rise of post-feminism, and its
implicit disavowal of feminism, the mythopoetic men's movement and
the crisis of masculinity. The following section canvasses views of
masculinity in second wave feminism and the role of myth and fairy
in key works of feminism. A critical discussion ensues of
twenty-first century wonder cinema in which the influence of
feminist ideas is seen to circulate within the pastiche treatments
of fairy tales and enchantment.
