Yesterday, I was listening to my soundtrack from the Disney movie "Enchanted," and I realized something. Many of the Disney fairy tales were mirrored in this movie. The princess (Giselle) is from a faraway kingdom, where her evil "step-mother" tries to get rid of her so she can rule (slight undertones of "Cinderella"). Giselle cleans an apartment she later finds by singing for the animals to come help her (like "Snow White"). The dance at the ball between Giselle and Prince Charming resembles the final dance in "Beauty and the Beast."
I then began to consider all of the different movies I have seen, wondering how many others mirror classic fairy tales. My favorite of which is "Sydney White," a modern college version of "Snow White." The main character, Sydney White falls in love with Tyler Prince, while conflicting with the evil Rachel Witchburn. Sydney must also help seven guys having trouble finding a place in college (and living in a dump).
Another popular remake is one of "Cinderella," called "A Cinderella Story." As the title obviously states, this story is about a high school girl, Sam, whose father dies and she is left to live with her evil-stepmother and two evil-stepsisters. She is left to do all of the cleaning of the restaurant and lives in the attic of

She is left to do all of the cleaning of the restaurant and lives in the attic ofthe house. She isn't allowed to go to the big school halloween party, but she does anyway, dressed in a very Cinderella-like ball gown. She falls in love with Prince Charming and loses her sneaker at the ball. It all ends happy ever after.
The last movie I came up with was "Aquamarine," the tale of a mermaid who makes her way to land during a storm. She meets to 12 year-old girls and they help her to find her one true love. Her father rules the seas and continues to make storms to pull her back to her family. She is able to have human legs during the day, as long as they don't get wet, and at night she turns back into a mermaid. In the end, she meets her prince charming, at the envy of a jealous girl trying to send her back to the ocean so she can have the guy all to herself.
