Story a Day for Every Day of the Year Walt Disney Productions 桃園市106年英語比賽國小朗讀文章
桃園市106年英語比賽國小朗讀文章第一篇 Nest Rescue Dumbo was out with his friend Timothy Mouse when he saw smoke coming out of a cottage window. “Goodness me!” he cried. “It must be on fire!” He rushed to the window and saw an old lady kneeling by the fire. Smoke was billowing out of the chimney. “Drat it!” muttered the old lady. “Why won’t this fire burn? My sticks are nice and dry but there’s no draft.” Timothy Mouse hopped in through the window, scuttled across the floor and stared up the chimney. There was no daylight to be seen at the top—and a piece of twig fell down and hit him on the nose! Timothy scuttled back to his friend, Dumbo. “I think there’s something on the chimney,” he said, rubbing his nose. “Something twiggy.” “Twiggy…” mused Dumbo. “Aha!” With Timothy on his back, he flew up to the rooftop and found a large, untidy nest piled on top of the chimney, with a bird sitting on it. “Help!” squawked the bird, scared at the sight of Dumbo. “You do need help,” said Dumbo. “Your nest has a fire under it!” “What?” shrieked the bird. “Oh, no! My eggs will be fried!” “Slide your nest on to my back,” said Dumbo. “Timothy will help you. Then we’ll carry your eggs to a safe place.” The mother bird flew beside Dumbo, and they put the nest in a hollow tree where she settled down gratefully. The old lady was grateful too, because with the nest gone, her fire burned beautifully!

The Effects of Disney Princess Movies on Girls
The Effects of Disney Princess Movies on Girls By Camille Porter-Phillips Eighth grade project research paper Hilltown Cooperative Charter Public School June 2014 1 Introduction Personally, before this project, I thought that the Disney princesses were foolish. People have been watching Disney movies for nearly 100 years and through the course of this project I realized that they are actually really foolish and my beliefs were affirmed. Since the Walt Disney company started in 1923 (Gillies), its movies have become very widespread and pervasive. My question is, have Disney princess movies affected girls? In this essay I will show that watching princess movies affects girls’ independence and body image. I will first give a background of Disney and their princesses, then show how the princess films might affect girls and then describe how to evaluate them. Background The first princess movie the Walt Disney company produced was Snow White, in 1937. It was the first animated feature film to come out of the0 U.S. (Disney). Next came Cinderella, in 1950. Then Sleeping Beauty in 1959. Thirty years later in 1989 The Little Mermaid came out. Then in 1991 Beauty and the Beast. The very next year in 1992 Aladdin came to theaters. Then Pocahontas, in 1995. But this was not the last one, more and more princess movies are produced by Disney every few years. Snow White is about a girl who runs away from an evil queen because the queen wants to kill Snow White. When she meets 12 dwarfs she is happy to cook and take care of them.

Films Cited……………………………………………………………. 25 1. INTRODUCTION Moana is a Disney film released in 2016. It tells the story of Moana, a teenage girl and the daughter of the chief of a Polynesian village called Motunui. She is supposed to inherit the position of her father in the near future and, in order to be ready for that role, she needs to take part into the activities of her community. Yet, Moana is not interested in these activities. She wants to sail away, which she is not allowed to do because of a law enforced by her father that prohibits any inhabitant of Motunui from sailing past the reef. When the natural landscape of the village starts to deteriorate due to external forces (crops become infertile and fish disappear from the area), Moana feels that she needs to go on a trip beyond the reef to restore the natural order. The film had an overall positive critical reception. Most reviewers agree on the fact that Moana breaks from the Disney princess tradition and its
