A Fairy Tale Rabbit Hole

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the movie that it started it all for Disney Animation and it's the most influential fairy tale movie ever. Its tropes and its tone still inspires fairy tale media to this day, either as parodies, or homages.

But what less people know is that Walt Disney was inspired to make this movie because of a peculiar silent movie that he watched when he was a teenager.

That movie was Snow White from 1916. Its writer, Winthrop Ames, adapted it from his own Broadway play. An example of American fairy tale theater.

This kept me thinking.

The Wizard of Oz is one of the most iconic fantasy films of all time, and it was made in direct response to Snow White. What people don't know is that the scene where Glinda saves the gang from the deadly poppies with a snowstorm came straight from a fairy tale musical from 1902. It came from The Wizard of Oz, a fairy tale musical "extravaganza", with direct input from L. Frank Baum, only two years after the original novel.

Actually, stage musicals seem to take a slight part in the creation of Oz. The Marvellous Land of Oz, the sequel, seems to be inspired by this stage culture. General Jinjur and her army dresses like chorus girls, Ozma/Tip may be inspired by the crossdressing in children roles, and this was the book's dedication:

"To those excellent good fellows and comedians David C. Montgomery and Frank A. Stone whose clever personations of the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow have delighted thousands of children throughout the land, this book is gratefully dedicated by THE AUTHOR"

These were actors of the 1902 stage show.

Two years later, on 1904 Peter and Wendy premiered. This play is also one of the most famous children stories ever. Walt Disney himself acted as Peter in a local production of it and Tinkerbell quickly became a mascot for the studio.

This all led me to think more about fairy tale theater specifically.

Since the ending of the 18th century and through the 19th century, a genre of stage show developed through Europe. It was mostly comedic and light-hearted, mainly inspired by fairy tales, and it was geared towards children and families. It involved lavish fantasy spectacles told through operas, ballets, and what we today would call "musical theater".

It had many different names and variations depending on the country.

On England, it evolved through the pantomimes and it became a Christmas tradition.

In Russian, it was mainly through ballet, called the ballet-féerie, often considered a lower-class, more commercialized entertainment than traditional ballet. Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker are among some of them. Sleeping Beauty would later inspire Disney's telling of the story.

In France they were called Féerie, and it was a mix of music, dancing, pantomime, acrobatics, and stage effects. It influenced the development of burlesque, musical comedy and film.

From Wikipedia:

With his 1899 film version of Cinderella, Georges Méliès brought the féerie into the newly developing world of motion pictures. The féerie quickly became one of film's most popular and lavishly mounted genres in the early years of the twentieth century, with such pioneers as Edwin S. Porter, Cecil Hepworth, Ferdinand Zecca, and Albert Capellani contributing fairy-tale adaptations in the féerie style or filming versions of popular stage féeries like Le Pied de mouton, Les Sept Châteaux du diable, and La Biche au bois. The leader in the genre, however, remained Méliès,[37] who designed many of his major films as féeries and whose work as a whole is intensely suffused with the genre's influence.[38]

Once you realize a huge chunk of fairy tale media has roots in family friendly stage shows from 19th century, a lot of it started making sense.

The focus on romance, the focus on damsels in distress, prevalence of lighter tones, the everlasting connection to music and dance.

They may be the main reason why some fairy tales are more famous than others. Some became source material for a continuous stream of operas, operettas, musical extravaganzas, ballets, plays, and others simply not.

And besides the Victorian Era storybooks that bowdlerized fairy tales for children, I think this whole genre of the theater was responsible to firmly establish fairy tales as a child friendly media, decades before Disney ever released Snow White to cash in that nostalgia.

If you have something to add or if I just got something wrong, feel free to correct me.

So I got a text from my brother with no warning. No preamble. Just this:

And I'm dying because it's my older brother so there could be so many things it could be.

But it was, in fact, referring to the burlesque version of the Nutcracker, which is legitimately called "The Slutcracker". And his friends all pitched in to rent a limo to go see it.

Tea asks!!

Turkish tea, White tea, Peppermint, Ginger

Thank you for the ask!!

Turkish tea: where have you travelled?

A number of different places in the United States, though notably nowhere west of my home except for Texas. (Though ideally that will be changing come March!) Outside of the US I've also been to Canada and South Africa. Possibly my most notable vacation was a trip to Boston, Massachusetts, which I decided to take after learning via tvtropes binge that there was a burlesque group there who performed their own version of The Nutcracker.

White tea: occupation/career aspirations

oh geez. nearly nonexistent? I would like to earn more money so I can be more financially secure/possibly be able to afford retirement, but I've also kind of accepted that it probably won't happen? I learned the hard way that doing what I love for my job made me hate what I love, so now I'm working a job I like reasonably well that pays better than anything my dream job gave me. But that still doesn't mean it pays terribly well.

Peppermint: what's your favorite holiday and why?

New Year's! It has all the same fun of Christmas but the Christians have finally chilled the fuck out! I even took the week off this year for the occasion, and I'm glad I did because it's just been one social engagement after another. Today's been the first day since last Friday that I haven't been out to a party or hosted a friend or family member. I've also got a really good resolution this year, and so far I have kept to giving myself a gift every day. Today's gift was staying in as much as I can and not going out in the snow and bad weather.

Ginger: favorite colour(s)?

mauve, puce, pink, purple, colors in that general spectrum.

I should possibly clarify that, while holiday-themes burlesque show is accurate, it is indeed an entire burlesque version of The Nutcracker. A full adult retelling scored with Tchaikovsky's music with a dancer dressed as a giant vibrator dubbed the Slutcracker Prince. (Or Princess, depending on what the dancer prefers.)

Howdy! You ended up on my dash with the beetle wing gown and requested stuff to do in Boston! Related to that, how do you feel about burlesque versions of holiday classics? Because it's Slutcracker time once again and tickets are on sale. Also L.A. Burdick's Chocolate in Harvard Square is good.

Thanks! That is an incredible name for a holiday-themed burlesque show.

(also it looks like @lemondread and I are going to be in Boston from Dec 1-4, if anyone wants to meet up!)

✨New pin for my slut snapback!

So I've just discovered a thing called "Nutcracker Rouge" which is a burlesque take on "The Nutcracker" and I can't get the thought of a Stucky au of this. Maybe Steve's, who's a classic dancer, dance troop just happen to have merged with a burlesque troop (maybe Bucky's) and now shy Steve not only has to get comfortable with dancing burlesque when he's cast as the lead in a adaptation with a twist of the classic ballet but also with the crush he has on the beautifully sexy Bucky Barnes aka The Nutcracker.
