A LOOK AT FANTASY COMEDY FILMS. (In
the Entertainment industry.)
A look at Fantasy Comedy Films.
Fantasy comedy
Fantasy comedy films are types of films that uses magic,
supernatural and or mythological figures for comic purposes. Most fantasy
comedy includes an element of parody, or satire, turning many of the fantasy
conventions on their head such as the hero becoming a cowardly fool, the
princess being a klutz.
Fantasy film is a genre that incorporates imaginative and
fantastic themes. These themes usually involve magic, supernatural events, or
fantasy worlds. ... Unlike science fiction, a fantasy film does not need to be
rooted in fact. This element allows the audience to be transported into a new
and unique world.
The term "speculative fiction" is sometimes used
to avoid making a distinction between various strands of fantasy, science
fiction, and horror or to account for the considerable overlap among the three.
While both science fiction and horror films are certainly types of fantasy,
many would agree that each is distinct in its purview and that each operates
differently in terms of themes, conflicts, and iconography.
Whereas science fiction relies on scientific paradigms,
technologies, facts, and paraphernalia to create hypothetical but
scientifically credible scenarios, fantasy is subject to no such restrictions.
Fantasy does not need to convince the audience that its story is
realistic—rather, it invites the audience to temporarily expand its
credulity—hence the phrase so often associated with this genre, "the
willing suspension of disbelief." Rather than appeal to science, fantasy
favors magical or mystical explanations. Fantasy films are usually logically
consistent, but their internal logic belongs to an imagined rather than a
scientific world. Although the iconography of science fiction includes
spaceships, computers, and ray-guns, a fantasy film is more likely to feature
flying horses, crystal balls, or magic wands. In practice, however, many films
are hybrids.
