ABSTRACT
We already learned this: The history of animated adaptations begins with the adaptation of fairy tales. Therefore, it is self-evident to begin the deeper investigation into the strategies of animated adaptations with a chapter about animated fairy tales. The topic would very easily merit its very own book and could be examined from many different perspectives. This makes it necessary to decide for one specific angle: The author decided to choose a thread of case studies that can be supported by detailed insights into the production process. They are also connected through their aesthetic approach and the historical perspective provided.
