Fairy Tales can be a very relevant aid in child development, mainly in the mental realm, in the issues related to fantasy and imagination as elements that make feasible the constitution of thinking. However, at contemporaneous times, what is being highlighted about fairy tales is not the oral communication or the story-reading relationship, which implies the relationship with another person, not even the contribution of the tales to the child’s signification of the world. What is unveiled is the interference of the cultural Industry in the communication of fairy tales and some distortions in the symbolic structure of the tales which has been corrupting its enlightening skill and inhibiting the child’s ability to fantasize and symbolize life. Nonetheless, this work comes out of a bibliographical research on Bettelheim’s work about fairy tales. The main objective is to analyze, based on a contemporaneous movie, the current adaptations and distortions of the tales as well as its implications in the development of subjectivity.

Palabras clave : Fairy tales; Fantasy; Cultural industry; Child/Infant; Subjectivity.
