Disney Weekend

While on Twitter this morning, a tweet caught my eye.  It was tweeted by RevRunJnr and said, "A prince gets married, the bad guy is dead. It's a real Disney weekend here on earth."  As soon as I read this I immediately got thinking.  I have written in a lot of my papers about what is seen in Disney fairy tales is unrealistic, but I guess I was wrong.  The Prince and Princess have their royal fairytale wedding, and the villain has been killed.  It was the fairytale ending that the United States was waiting for. In many "real life fairytales" such as the Royal Wedding this weekend, we tend to only look at the good.  This is the first situation of a "real life fairytale" that I can think of which also looks at the bad side.  I would have to agree with this tweet...it has been a true Disney fairytale weekend here on earth.

  1. Wow. That is so weird to think about because it's true. These events are similar to the ones in fairytales.

  3. Definitely interesting to relate fairy tales to reality. However, in reality, the story doesn't end with just a happy ending - we will now have to see what the consequences of the "dead villain" will be
