Ep. 88: Aladdin Wrap Up & Intro to Cinderella

Of Slippers and Spindles - Fairy Tale Retellings and Adaptations in Books, Film, and Theatre

It's time to wish our way out of one fairy tale and into another! Drew and Cassie wrap up their final thoughts on Aladdin, including, and then rather than discussing how we would retell the tale ourselves like we usually do, we suggest ideas of how we would like to see someone else retell Aladdin. Then we take a journey to the past by explaining why we wanted to revisit Cinderella. We discuss the plots of some of the most prominent cultural variants of the story: Rhodopis of Greece, Ye Xian of China, and Vasilisa the Brave of Russia. We also update our criteria a little bit from the last time we talked about Cinderella and reveal which books and movies we'll be reading and watching throughout the month!
