Far beyond Snow White

Bol

The animated films that have featured prominently at the world box office in the early 21st century have a different style of storytelling compared to the productions that predominated in the 20th century. Contemporary productions have a hybridization of genres and promote humour based on irony and satire, detached from the standards of perfection and morality pertinent to the first fabular animations, as we can see in Disney's first feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, a film that served as a reference for the other titles at the box office in the last century. Today's narratives are more complex, intertextual and in order to provoke humor they use a structure in the construction of meanings that establishes links with socio-historical contexts, a communicative strategy that is similar to that used in the cartoon and caricature genres. We can say that today's audiovisuals are a product of the articulated and transformative junction between images, sound and discourse, which produce different scenarios, presenting in the imagetic construction of society a message, linked to a worldview, which is manifested by multiple voices.
