This Video Shows Aspects Of Propps Theory in the sense that there is a hero and is fighting not for a princess but or the world, conveyed as the princess. The hero also has two helpes, however there is no false hero in this video. i also noticed the herop had super powers this could be used a the Doner. this supports my statemen that his theory still exist and can be used today.
