Real Snow White
Pilvi Takala
The absurd logic and extreme discipline of Disneyland become apparent when a real fan of Disney’s Snow White is banned from entering the park in her costume. As visitors are encouraged to dress up and a lot of costume-like merchandise is sold at the park, the full costumes are only sold for children. The Disney slogan ›Dreams Come True‹ means dreams produced exclusively by Disney. Anything even slightly out of control evokes fear of real and possibly dark dreams coming true.
