The Grimms collected old European folk tales and transformed them into educational stories for children. A LOT of the stories had evil mothers, which the Grimms decided to switch to evil step mothers, because they felt evil mothers would have been a bit much and that kids would relate more with evil step moms.

@jaida9468 Год назад

They collected German folk tales, in particular, in a time when Germany was not exactly a thing. They were a part of the national-romantic movement of the time, a part of the attempt to establish nations and national myths after the crumpling of the empires in Europe. Almost every European country has the equivalent of the Grimm brothers. The largest part of what we think of as defining characteristics of European nations was shaped, and often invented, during this period.

@carrywon8767 Год назад

@@Noora_Spruce Actually it's a misconception, if you're referring to the grimm brothers (1812), they're just another version of a retelling of a retelling, not the original. Disney took inspiration from older and happier versions, like Cinderella by Perrault (1697), also not the original.

on traditional ideals of women: the women were not expected to work outside the home, but women did bust their asses in the home, and Snow White, Cinderella especially showcase this. and considering that there is a 100% chance that a woman will labor in her home and like a 0% chance that a man will fight a dragon IRL, i think the passive, traditional princesses deserve respect

10:50 My biggest pet peeve in “historical” movies are when men are shown with unlaced doublets like they’re jackets, with their undershirt used as a shirt! The modernization of historical men’s fashion in particular is a symptom of toxic masculinity, where men aren’t shown wearing proper historical attire because it’s too ornamental, or bc they’d have to wear heels, tights, or wigs (Gasp!!) This leads to a lack of appreciation of men’s fashion so it conforms to modern societal views of gender and masculinity.

8:10 in defense of Danielle, the movie explained that she had a special bond with her father and one of the activities they did together was reading books. „Utopia“ the book from which she quotes within the movie, was her favorite book that she read with her father, so it kinda makes sense that she can quote it. I don’t think that she’s necessarily well educated, rather that from the beginning she is made out to be a curious character who is interested in knowledge. Of course it’s not an accurate reflection of the time-period and more appealing for us modern girls but I think she is a very well made out character, as she is pretty coherent. The movie never tries to make her „not like other girls“. She’s just the way she is and Drew Berrymore did a fantastic job at portraying her.

Recently watched abitfrank’s video on the original Italian Rapunzel, and honestly, I don’t know WHY that version doesn’t get adapted more often. Rapunzel in the Basile version masterminds her own escape and defeats her OWN villain. I think Grimm’s Rapunzel is still more hauntingly beautiful, but if you’d rather have a smart resourceful Princess, check out Petrosinella by Basile.

@lunayen Год назад

Probably because most people grew up with Grimm's Rapunzel. I didn't even know an Italian version existed until now.

@netowarosekai7085 Год назад

I don't know anymore if Rapunzel saved herself in this version, but I grew up with the version where the prince was blinded and then being lost in the forest and Rapunzel found him in the end (but I think her stepmother let her go for some reason?) but I've also always thought that is the Grimm version

As those who are fans of the fairy tale know - the Grimm brothers nicked their versions from much older versions of the same stories from all over the World. I would highly recommend, for those who want to explore further, Idries Shah's 'World Tales' - it is out of print but can be picked up second-hand and is exquisitely illustrated (Algonquin Cinderella anybody?).

@clairegamble3918 Год назад

I also assumed that Ursula was queer coded, but then was so fabulous and likeable. I think the artists responsible for her actually made her as a bit of a love letter to drag queens they were friends with. Which is probably why the coding feels less maligned with her.

@reneedailey1696 Год назад

Divine was her inspiration.

@darkciderthemoon3712 Год назад

As the other commenter said, Divine was Ursula's inspiration. If you look at her makeup (specifically the eyebrows), it imitates the style Divine was best known for doing.

@ama-tt7zm Год назад

Adding to previous comments, Divine was also supposed to voice Ursula but passed away before she could do the role. Feels like modern Disney has actually regressed in some ways with queer representation

@PurelyCoincidental Год назад

Respectfully, I think you overlooked an important source of this style, which is the genre of fairy tale and legend (like, Arthurian legend) children's books that became quite popular in the later 19th century. Illustrated by artists such as Crane, Greenaway, HJ Ford, and Caldecott, they were not only popular "on paper" and in painting, etc., but were also quite influential on the performing arts into the early 20th century-including early film. Artists of the Pre-Raphaelites and Arts and Crafts movements loved combining aspects of Medieval and Renaissance fashion to create their own aesthetic of "pastness." (With Greenaway and some others, that extends into the 18th century as well.) Anyway, I enjoyed the video a lot, thank you! But I think it's important to note that "fairy-tale historical mashup" has a long history and some pretty clear links to that earlier style.

@brynmcclennan973 Год назад

I think for fairy tale films the lack of a specific time period is often done on purpose because written and oral fairy tales are detached from time and place, making them timeless. For period dramas accurate costumes and locations add to the story but I think the opposite is true for fairy tales.

@elenacosta1040 Год назад

It’s strange how reserved directors seem to be in going full-on medieval in the costume design for period pieces, and yet I recognize some references to medieval or renaissance attire in like sci-fi movies. That would actually be a cool video essay idea! The influences on sci-fi fashion!

@plushdragonteddy Год назад

this is such a cool and interesting video !! as for the question at the end, my favorite fairytale growing up was rapunzel. i love that, in the version i read, the witch was like “fine i get it, your pregnant wife has weird cravings, you can steal this plant from my garden this one time, but i swear if u come back here again u owe me ur firstborn” like obviously a bit evil but pretty reasonable compared to most villains! and then the guy COMES BACK ANYWAY, knowing that the consequences of stealing this plant is the loss of his child, and he’s just like “listen the wife just really wants this plant to munch on ok” and that’s how rapunzel ends up in the witch’s tower, named for the plant she was traded away for.

Naturally she goes in it and finds all the bodies of his former wives. In her horror she drops the keys and no matter how hard she scrubs she cant wash the blood off.

@b0nem0ther Год назад

I think that you can tell a story through costuming and it's the attention to detail that we often don't notice. When the Star Wars costumes were on tour a number of years ago, there was so much information for the styles and techniques used to create those garments that took from cultures all over the world. Costuming is something that is often taken for granted, but we appreciate it and think it's wonderful that they care enough to cater to us.

One of my favourite fairytales as a child was a slavic (serbian) one. I‘m actually near from where the fairytale is set. It centers around a fairy named „Vila Ravijojla“ (Vila meaning fairy in serbian) living on a mountain, she was famous for her beautiful singing voice. I don‘t remember all the details but the main point is that she helped the serbian king Marko Kraljević and so she became a well-known mystical creature in serbian folklore. Many people traveling that specific mountain swear that they can still hear her sing to this day! I started loving that story after my mother had told me about how she used to play on that mountain whilst her parents were guarding the flock of sheep. She started hearing a woman singing so she followed the voice (which seemed to come from the forest nearby) but my grandparents stopped her before she could have gone any further!

I can't even tell you how many retellings I've read of Sleeping Beauty.

Your black kitty next to you during the video was so fitting with your outfit and the topic. My favorite Disney princess were so many snow white sleeping beauty and little mermaid etc. I love them all.

@paocompanadoo Год назад

love the video but u couldve touched on how the ROMANTICISM era was the first to glorify and romanticise the medieval ages( being a time period of no technology furthermore the beliefs of dragons, hags, potion making, etc). Thus romanticism also embraces imagination and youth, which are pretty much the keywords for a fairtytale. This idea that the medieval times had to do with romantic youthful fairytales and love stories goes on to influence the next centuries. Romanticism was basically the pioneer for medieval inspired fairytales.

This is such an interesting topic and something I've thought about a lot in the past few years as I've been writing my own novel adaptation of H.C. Andersen's The Little Mermaid. I've watched all available screen adaptations and most of them have northwestern european medieval-esque vibes in their costuming, despite the fairytale itself taking place in the mediterranean. Its location was nspired by HCA's travels in Italy in the 1830s. In the fairytale, the prince has dark hair and black eyes, and his kingdom has white beaches and palm trees. I wish more screen adaptations took inspiration from the vibrant mid-1800s italian fashions instead of relying on ren-faire aesthetics. Also I will never forgive Disney for giving the prince light eyes.

Considering the early Disney stories were based on tales from France and Germany, they would be euro-centric. The Middle ages were loaded with war, disease (such as the plague) and famine, the stories from that time period would be a little Grimm. The modern circus clown was an exaggeration of the physical effects of getting the Black plague. Watching that clown was a way of dealing with the pain many saw around them as the plague took it's toll. If the period was romantic, again, a way of dealing with a hard life.

@abbyc4457 Год назад

this might not count as a fairytale, but I'd still love to hear your thoughts on Phantom of the Opera's costuming!!!

@SlapstickGenius23 Год назад

Phantom of the opera was a pulp novel first and foremost, albeit a tasteful French one.

@romana34 Год назад

Tolkien used the middle ages as a backdrop for Middle Earth because he created the world to be a Catholic history of ancient Britain, or at least a history in the same vein as the epic sagas like Beowulf. Martin set Game of Thrones in a Middle Ages like world, because he was inspired by the real life war of the roses, which took place in the 15th century. Wonderful job though with your research and presentation Really enjoyed this video and hope you feel better Favorite fairytale costume way too many to name !

Many of the Soviet fairytale cartoons were weirdly historically accurate. My favourites are Cinderella and The Wild Swans.

@CatHasOpinions734 Год назад

I don't know if Ever After quite fits the pattern you describe, since the film goes into pretty significant detail explaining how and why she's able to quote Utopia at the drop of a hat. The film shows us that much of her education happened before her father's death, and she later explicitly says that she still reads avidly because books and reading remind her of him. Utopia specifically was a favorite of hers because it was the last book he brought home, which becomes a major plot point later on.

Medieval princesses where usually very educated, especially if they were to be married off to shore up familial relationships within other monarchies or aristocracies. There are stories of many princesses who were highly successful within their respective sphere's of influence due to their wit, charm and intelligence which often could be partially credited with a worldly, educated upbringing. Within royalty, daughters were an important fail safe if the male line expired as they could then be used to ensure the continuation of the royal blood through marriage. Another mention is that the brothers Grimm compiled/wrote their stories during the height of Romanticism where suffering, especially female suffering was very popular. Look at any serious opera from 1820 through to 1850. They're veritable exploitation films.

@AngelFace1991 Год назад

I think some of the best fantasy costumes I've seen were in Jean Cocteau's La Belle et la Bete from 1946. And while not a fairy tale I do love the costumes in Crimson Peak.

@laurataylor615 Год назад

My favorite fairytale is Cinderella, very basic, I know, but I love all the different adaptations of it, and Ever After is my favorite historically costumed movie

Great episode, thank you for reminding me to rewatch the "fairytale" film by Francis Ford Coppola, his 1992 Bram Stoker's Dracula. My favorite fairytale costume drama precisely because of the outstanding and richly fantasized costumes by Eiko Ishioka. I love the way they conspire to marry the sensibilities of medieval courtly love (heavy, rich, dark, and dangerous) and the thoroughly modern Gilded Age woman (who thinks she know her own mind, but alas is only under a spell...) wearing grandiose design elements borrowed from Bugatti! Love love love.

Jim Henson's The Storyteller is probably my favorite fairytale tv show/movie/thing. Especially Sapsorrow and also The Thought Lion (this one has a kind of 1780's look to it, especially the heroine's hedgehog hairstyle).

@rooskramer99 Год назад

loved this Mina, all your work on historical custumes is very inspiring to me, thanks also for tht tip on online exhibitions, allthough seeing the details of garnments in person is still very exciting to me, some more rare pieces such as from the medival period are great to explore that way!

@kaltespopcorn4087 Год назад

1:52 Important to notice is that we have an huge shift in fairytale reception in the early 19th century when folklore became a popular literary topic in Europe. So they went from being orally told mostly by women of all social classes to written down mostly by higher middle class and first class men who had the education. The Grimms didn’t even give credit to the women in their middle class circle who collected most of the stories for them. So we should not forget that we see the ‘medieval’ ‘folk’ stories presented through an male 19th century viewpoint!

@chloewhitmore4711 Год назад

Everything about the aesthetic of this video is gorgeous, plus the fairytale/historical fashion - you can’t top it! I absolutely love the vaguely medieval meets 2000s costumes of Ella Enchanted it’s so perfect for the whole tone of the film

So happy you went back to the topics I started watching you for, at least for this video! Glad you were able to mention Mirror Mirror at the end too! That, along with Ever After, were my absolute favorite fairy tale films, for the stories, the agency of the heroines, and of course the costumes!!!! If given the time and money, my dream would be to cosplay half the outfits worn by Cinderella and Snow White in those films.

@annabelletittel8615 Год назад

The Snow Queen has always been my FAVORITE fairy tale; I recently started reading Bill Willingham's Fables comics, and I was very excited to see that both Kai and The Snow Queen were included as characters! I personally think The Company of Wolves (1984) has the best (and most batshit) fantasy costuming. Every single costume is an amalgamation of like five different eras, filtered through the dream-state mind of a young girl. I love Angela Carter, and her hand in adapting her radio script for film shines through in almost every aspect of the movie, including the costuming and practical effects. The costumes are beautiful, and do a wonderful job of evoking a surrealist sense of period and setting.

@stephiefanny9609 Год назад

The romanticization of the pre-industrial past, specifically for medieval Europe, we have inherited it from the Romantic Period (first half of the 19th c). Some myths of medievalism and renaissance date from this time period. If you look at art and literature for this time period, and music from a bit later, it is not difficult to spot it. For example, the music academic literature of this time period is all over the place, and sometimes a little made up cause studying music history was a fairly new practice, and if they couldn't find how something was meant to be played they would just guess, hence why some music practices are being rediscovered to this day because the later playing traditions don't match the original traditions. The myths are so old that a lot of people assume they are true.
