A myth is an image in terms of which we try to make sense of the world.
'Frankenstein' feels like an ancient tale, the kind of traditional story that appears in many other forms.
A myth is the name of a terrible lie told by a smelly little brown person to a man in a white suit with a pair of binoculars.
'Cake' is a simple, almost traditional and relatable story, that highlights family values and intimate relationship dynamics within a family.
Legend: A lie that has attained the dignity of age.
I, personally, liked the legend.
I think the idea of a traditional story being told using traditional animation is likely a thing of the past.
My parents knew about the story of Aladdin far before the animation film. It's a folk tale that is very prevalent in Egypt.
Now will I rehearse before you a very ancient Breton Lay. As the tale was told to me, so, in turn, will I tell it over again, to the best of my art and knowledge. Hearken now to my story, its why and its reason.
I learned that myth doesn’t mean a lie; it means a traditional story that tells you something about people and their worldview and what they hold sacred. Interesting.
