In this major work, Zipes (emeritus, German and comparative literature, U. of Minnesota) compiles a thorough analysis of the genre of fairy tales in film, expanding his range well outside of Disney and American cinema to include European and Japanese versions. Maintaining a critical focus that includes feminist and other theoretical viewpoints, Zipes briefly summarizes plot, setting, character, and other aspects while discussing critical reception, presentation of roles, and relationship to other versions of the tale. The political and social context of each film, the director's presentation of the fairy tale in light of current affairs, and the shifts in the film industry as a whole are frequent themes. In addition to 7 chapters devoted to specific fairy tales, Zipes discusses the history of the genre, fairy tale films created in Central and Eastern Europe, animated versions, and the work of Georges Méliès.
