Openings of Twisted Fairy Tales (Débuts de contes inversés)

En anglais, les 5e3 du collège ont travaillé sur le folklore et les stéréotypes dans les contes de fées. Dès son origine, les contes connaissent plusieurs variantes. La société américaine de production et d’animation Walt Disney ne fait donc pas exception en s’inspirant des contes de fées européens et en créant leur variante américaine. Les élèves ont vu que des stéréotypes de genre avaient été gardés dans les variantes de Walt Disney. De nos jours, on tend à déconstruire ces stéréotypes en jouant avec eux. Le film d’animation Shrek de Dreamwork en est la parfaite incarnation. Ces élèves de 5e ont donc contribué à cette tendance en créant à leur tour un début de conte inversé. LMV vous présente quelques-unes de ces productions.
