HISTORY

HISTORY
Fantasy as a genre in film has existed since the beginning of films, although the offerings were sporatic until the 1980's, which saw a flourishing of the genre. This trend died off in the 90's, but has been reborn in the new millennium.
-first fantasy film produced in france by Georges Melies, a popular stage magician.
DEFINITION
Although difficult to define, fantasy fiction can be said to encompass books, films and TV shows set in alternative realities based on imagined fantastical elements, such as magic or supernatural phenomena. While many commonly associate sword & sorcery with the genre, it also includes contemporary (urban), superhero and humorous fantasy.
A lot of fiction may contain elements of fantasy while also overlapping with the science fiction and horror genres. A general term used to describe all three genres is 'speculative fiction'. *yawns*
REQUIREMENTS
1.That magic be involved in some signifigant way.
2.That a good deal of the film takes place in a setting apart from the ordinary and mundane world. Often, magic defines this setting. An historical setting (especially medieval) can also fufil this requirement.
Even if these requirements are met, a film will usually not be considered a true fantasy film if modern or futuristic technology is involved in a signifigant way. Thus, although there is magic in Star Wars (The Force), this is not a fantasy film because the technology of space travel and combat is much more important to the plot.
