  • The Little Mermaid Icon and Disneyfication
    The Little Mermaid Icon and Disneyfication Finn Hauberg Mortensen University of Copenhagen s AN ICON IN MASS cui.TURE, thc Little Meniiaid has become the official image of Denmark in general., and of its capital, At Copenhagen, in particular. Its icoiiicity is intimately tied to two sources: Edvard Eriksen's famous bronze statue erected on the Copen- hagen waterfront in 191? and Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale from i8í7. The complexity of Andersen's fairytale, however, which lends the symbolic value to Eriksen's statue, has been largely ignored because the statue has taken on a lite of its own. Historically, it belongs to the final phase of Danish classical sculpture., but it has also become the raw material of modernistic artistic expressions. In fact over the last fort^' years, the statue has moved toward two distinct representations: the completed statue by Eriksen viewed and re\ered by die millions of tourists who visit and photograph it and the ongoing fragmented and unfinished work, which has derived from the destruction of the former. This latter ''work of art" in turn points to the modernit)' of which it and Denmark has become part. The fragmentation started in içfti, when the statue had its hair painted red and was dressed up in a bra and panties. Two years later she was painted red again. In 1964, these prankish attacks were followed by an act of willful artistic vandalism when an unknown assailant sawed the head off the body. Later, Jörgen Nash, a situationist visual artist and author, claimed responsibility for removing the head and for making a deliberate assault on die Danish national symbol.

  • Copenhagen's Famous Mermaid: Den Lille Havfrue, the Little Mermaid
    Copenhagen’s Famous Mermaid: Den lille havfrue, The Little Mermaid The Little Mermaid was made famous by a fairy tale written by Hans Christian Andersen, Denmark’s famous author. It was a tale about a young mermaid who was willing to give up her life in the ocean and her life as a mermaid to gain a human soul. “The tale was actually made to scare children into good behavior.” ‐ quietlunch.com ‐ hca.gilead.org Copenhagen’s famous statue is that of the Little Mermaid, however there are rumors that the original is not what is displayed by the City of Copenhagen. Why you ask. Well, the original was sculpted by Edvard Erkisen who was commissioned to do the statue in 1909. It was unveiled on August 23, 1913, a gift from the Danish brewer Carl Jacobsen from Carlsberg Brewery. Four years later the 385‐pound bronze statue was presented to the City of Copenhagen and placed in the harbor area. Since her appearance, she has been vandalized and scandalized. It is believed that the original is with the Eriksen family. Vandalism has included decapitation three times, an arm being attacked with a hacksaw, someone even used an explosive to blow her off her pedestal and throwing paint on her five times. The scandal came from none other than Facebook who banned her from its online publication due to nudity guidelines. ‐ bbc.com ‐VisitDenmark The mermaid’s history was also plagued with problems from the beginning. According to VisitDenmark, “The Little Mermaid was meant to be modelled after contemporary ballerina Ellen Price, but as she refused to model nude, the Mermaid was in fact modelled after Edvard Eriksen’s wife, Eline.” “The statue was sculpted as a twin‐tailed mermaid, although the H.C.

Among these, Mononokehime ( Princess Mononoke , 1997) and the period leading up to it from the early 1990s, as I argue in this chapter, had a great impact on the rest of Miyazaki’s career. In the fi rst section of this chapter, I discuss how Miyazaki grew sceptical about the style of his fi lmmaking as a result of cataclysmic changes in the political and social situation both in and outside Japan; in essence, he questioned his production of entertainment fi lms featuring adventures with (pseudo- )European settings, and began to look for something more ‘substantial’. Th e result was a grave and complex story about civilization set in medieval Japan, which was based on aca- demic discourses on Japanese history, culture and identity.

  • Disney's the Little Mermaid
    Disney’s The Little Mermaid A production by Variety Children’s Theatre October 24 - 26, 2014 Touhill Performing Arts Center University of Missouri - St. Louis Dear Educators, Variety Children’s Theatre is proud to present its sixth annual production, Disney’s The Little Mermaid. Once again under the direction of Tony Award nominee Lara Teeter, this show boasts some of the city’s greatest professional actors and designers. We all eagerly await the results of their craft— bringing the story of Ariel to life. Be sure that you and your students are there to experience the beauty of an opera house with a full orchestra, dazzling sets and brilliant costumes (including a trip under the sea). Musical theatre can enhance learning on so many levels. It builds an appreciation for the arts, brings to life a lesson on the parts of a story (i.e. characters, plot, conflict) and provides the perfect setting to learn a thing or two about fairy tales and why they are important windows into important facets of our lives. Variety takes that learning one step further, however, presenting an inclusive cast where adult equity actors, talented adults from community theatre, and gifted theatrical children, work side-by-side with children who have a wide range of disabilities. The production is truly a lesson in acceptance, perseverance and the “I CAN” spirit that shines through all Variety programs. In the near future, we will have Disney’s The Little Mermaid study guide to help you incorporate the show into your curriculum and to help your students prepare for the show.

  • Elements of Realism in Japanese Animation Thesis Presented In
    Elements of Realism in Japanese Animation Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By George Andrew Stey Graduate Program in East Asian Studies The Ohio State University 2009 Thesis Committee: Professor Richard Edgar Torrance, Advisor Professor Maureen Hildegarde Donovan Professor Philip C. Brown Copyright by George Andrew Stey 2009 Abstract Certain works of Japanese animation appear to strive to approach reality, showing elements of realism in the visuals as well as the narrative, yet theories of film realism have not often been applied to animation. The goal of this thesis is to systematically isolate the various elements of realism in Japanese animation. This is pursued by focusing on the effect that film produces on the viewer and employing Roland Barthes‟ theory of the reality effect, which gives the viewer the sense of mimicking the surface appearance of the world, and Michel Foucault‟s theory of the truth effect, which is produced when filmic representations agree with the viewer‟s conception of the real world. Three directors‟ works are analyzed using this methodology: Kon Satoshi, Oshii Mamoru, and Miyazaki Hayao. It is argued based on the analysis of these directors‟ works in this study that reality effects arise in the visuals of films, and truth effects emerge from the narratives. Furthermore, the results show detailed settings to be a reality effect common to all the directors, and the portrayal of real-world problems and issues to be a truth effect shared among all. As such, the results suggest that these are common elements of realism found in the art of Japanese animation.
