A Whole Not So New World: a less than radical reinterpretation of princesses

Art and Design post by Kjerstin Johnson, June 16, 2009 - 6:36pm; tagged Disney, fairy tales, photography, stereotypes.

Disney’s animated Peter Pan (1953) has been described as “ageless” (though one wonders if critics took note of the decidedly dated, stereotypical depiction of Native Americans), while Steven Spielberg’s Hook (1991) told the story of a grown-up Peter’s transformation into a mature father.
