Today, many of the better-known fairy tale and play characters are immortalised in films. Classics have been created that are famous all over the world. Disney in particular has given us a large number of these animated films, as they used to be called. In the process, the characters of the figures from these films have often even outstripped the classic fairy tale characters in terms of their degree of popularity as well as their plots.

Every child knows the adventures of Aladdin, Dumbo, Simba and Pumbaa.
