Abstract
A good story is always in demand. But today the fairy tale is not only told in the mode of verbal translation in the family circle, it becomes the subject of repeated media transformations form, printed illustrated text, comic, film, TV series, cartoon, video game, etc. With the spread and development of media researchers began to pay more attention to the structure of the narrative, “worlds of history”, are still in demand, the various media platforms (transmedial), which combine a popular medium with a popular archetypical history. This is especially true of cartoons, as they are one of the most popular genres among children. Evidence suggests that children tend to imitate not only their parents and inner family circle behavior, but also cartoon characters, including their gender-specific behavior. Since most modern cartoons continue to borrow stories from classic fairy tales, they inevitably reproduce the gender-stereotypical behavior of the main characters of ancient times. Or, in response to social requests, the plot and character are repaired. In the article we describe the main findings of the study, where we studied folk stories, as well as the plots of modern cartoons. For the study we used a database of folk tales by Stith Thompson, as well as narrative functions in the concept of Vladimir Propp, adapting them to the aspect of female gender. The aim of the study is to reveal how gender socialization is constructed and mediated by media in popular fairy tales. For this purpose, in the study we use critical discourse analysis of modern cartoons.
