A Narrative Comparison Between the Animated Films Frozen and White Snake

Abstract

Although the theme of the American animated film Frozen series and the Chinese animated film White Snake series are the same, they present completely different narrative structures. This paper makes a comparison between the two series of animated films from three aspects: narrative strategy, emotional clues and characters' personalities, and finds out some common narrative features of female-themed animated films under cultural differences, to further explore how animated films depict female images in the new era.
