The fairy tale has become one of the dominant cultural forms and genres internationally, thanks in large part to its many manifestations on screen. Yet the history and relevance of the fairy-tale film have largely been neglected. In this follow-up to Jack Zipes’s award-winning book The Enchanted Screen (2011), Fairy-Tale Films Beyond Disney offers the first book-length multinational, multidisciplinary exploration of fairy-tale cinema. Bringing together twenty-three of the world’s top fairy-tale scholars to analyze the enormous scope of these films, Zipes and colleagues Pauline Greenhill and Kendra Magnus-Johnston present perspectives on film from every part of the globe, from Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away, to Jan Švankmajer’s Alice, to the transnational adaptations of 1001 Nights and Hans Christian Andersen. Contributors explore filmic traditions in each area not only from their different cultural backgrounds, but from a range of academic fields, including criminal justice studies, education, film studies, folkloristics, gender studies, and literary studies. Fairy-Tale Films Beyond Disney offers readers an opportunity to explore the intersections, disparities, historical and national contexts of its subject, and to further appreciate what has become an undeniably global phenomenon.

The Range Boss – Ruth Harkness of Poughkeepsie is chosen to be the new owner of the Flying W ranch, by the decision of her uncle Bill. On her way to the West Ruth is saved from a mired buckboard by Rex Randerson, and she picks him to be her new range boss. Although Ruth is promised to another man, Rex falls in love with her and becomes her guardian. The Trail to Yesterday – Sheila Langford is a young woman from Albany who went on a journey to the West to find a Double R ranch that her stepfather bought. She got lost in a cold rainy night, only to be rescued by a brute stranger called simply Dakota, thus making an unusual bond between two completely different characters. West! – Josephine Hamilton is a New York City woman on a long journey to visit her friend Betty Lowson at her ranch. She never saw cowboys before, nor did she experienced the western style of living, so she was quite shocked when she met two of the toughest men around, "Satan" Lattimer and "Steel" Brannon. Each of them will influence her in certain way as she is about to sense the taste of the true West. Charles Alden Seltzer (1875-1942) was a prolific American author of western novels. He wrote his westerns from the experience of living on his uncle's ranch in New Mexico. Seltzer's best works include The Two-Gun Man, The Boss of the Lazy Y, Drag Harlan and West. Many of his novels were turned into Hollywood movies.
