Lessons learnes from Fitcher's Bird

Unlike, the Disney Fairy tales little children watch every day, Fitcher’s Bird is a much more violent adaptation of a children’s fantasy. The themes and lessons though, are still the same. Some common examples are looks can be deceiving and don’t trust strangers. The sorcerer dressed as a poor beggar who needed food, but in reality he was a cruel and evil and dismembered his victims if they didn’t obey his rules. A complex lesson would be protecting life. The egg, that Fitcher says to protect, represents life. If the egg is ruined then what’s inside cannot hatch and it will die. The younger sister protects her egg, and she survives and is ultimately able to revive her sisters and kill the sorcerer. Even with the violence, Fitcher’s Bird still has the same themes and lessons learned from the earlier fairy tales that appear on the Disney channel.
