The Influence of Disney Fairytales
Disney is a cornerstone of the American childhood. Even for someone like myself who was raised in an environment where most Disney movies were banned because of the witchcraft, sorcery, or overt references to Satan (The cat in Cinderella is named Lucifer, for example), I was still influenced via friends or the occasional contraband storybook found in a dentistβs or doctorβs waiting room that I would sneak into a corner or playhouse and read. I didnβt see most Disney movies until I was a babysitting teenager. To this day I have never seen Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or 101 Dalmatians, yet I could tell you the stories and even sing nearly all the songs. With such a pervasive influence, it was impossible to escape the clutch of Disney. |

Road Trip: Driving the Fairytale Road in Germany
We took a road trip from our apartment in Baumholder along Germanyβs Fairytale Road. Germany is where the Brothers Grimm wrote famous tales like Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Sleeping Beauty. There are so many amazing road trips in Germany, but this one allows you to relive those childhood stories. Itβs also one of the prettiest drives in the country. The route offers beautiful views and a deep dive into the Brothers Grimmβs tales. Be ready for an experience that might surprise you. |
