Abstract: This paper undertakes a comparative, psychoanalytically informed analysis of Disney’s fairytale adaptations, examining the complex psychological dimensions encoded in their characters and narratives. Using Modern Film Appreciation Theory and psychoanalytic concepts (Freudian drives, Jungian archetypes, narrative desire), the essay explores how characters such as Cinderella, Belle, Elsa, Rapunzel, and Maleficent embody culturally resonant psychological conflicts. The analysis situates these films within broader ideological frameworks, arguing that Disney’s seemingly simple narratives mobilize profound anxieties about gender, family, repression, and individuation. Through close readings and filmic quotations, the essay demonstrates how animation aesthetic, character alignment, and genre convention structure audience identification while naturalizing ideological values about love, selfhood, and social order. Ultimately, the study underscores Disney’s fairy-tales not as mere children’s entertainment but as potent cultural texts negotiating psychic and social contradictions.
