“All cartoon characters and fables must be exaggeration, caricatures. It is the very nature of fantasy and fable.” - Walt Disney
The combination of fables and teaching is necessary. Since in an interesting and inspiring way, fables usually express the truth metaphorically, enabling children to acquire the underlying meanings spontaneously after appreciating the stories, and the “acquisition” therefore brings about the effect of education. The effect of this “spontaneous education” cannot be forced but naturally acquired. It gives children happiness and joy, and is extremely welcomed.
Fables are characterized by simple languages, vivid stories, vibrant images, and definite subjects. The complicated is usually simplified, and the abstract is concretized. It helps to improve the language competence for children to comprehend the sophisticated society and interrelationships, understand certain difficult philosophies, and develop morality. Children can tell right from wrong, good from evil, true from false, and beauty from deformity.
Consequently, the veil of mind is discovered, the wisdom is inspired, and the thoughts are brightened.
