Tolkien’s Hatred for Disney Unveiled: Exploring the Clash of Storytelling Titans

In his latest video, YouTuber “Ink and Fantasy” delves into the complex relationship between the legendary author and the entertainment company. Contrary to popular belief, Tolkien’s disdain wasn’t directed at Walt Disney himself, but rather at the transformative nature of Disney’s adaptations. From his early encounter with “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” alongside his friend C.S. Lewis in 1938, Tolkien harbored reservations about Disney’s approach to traditional folklore.

Tolkien’s displeasure stemmed from Disney’s tendency to simplify and commercialize classic tales, catering primarily to American children. As an old-fashioned writer deeply rooted in the traditions of storytelling, Tolkien held a profound reverence for timeless fairy tales that spanned centuries. His own vision of storytelling was diametrically opposed to Disney’s mass appeal strategy, leading to an inherent clash of philosophies.
