Bonjour!
Today I am going to be telling 당신 the original fairytales before 디즈니 retold them. (They're not necessarily the first, original versions of the stories but they are dark ones). 당신 might know most of these and that's cool, but in case 당신 didn't, here they are. Please note I have done some research - I'm not just making it up.
This 기사 should probably be in the 디즈니 Club, but the majority of these stories are 디즈니 Princess and heroine stories. Besides, I like to get feedback and nice 코멘트 and I hardly ever get 코멘트 in the 디즈니 club.
These aren't ranked 또는 in a countdown, but, they are dark.
And some of them might shock you.
Peter Pan
We all know this movie is about a boy that takes 3 children on a trip to Neverland and share adventures with them as they try and conquer the evil pirate Captain Hook.
Now that's all very fun, however in the original story 의해 J M Barrie, Peter Pan would "thin out" the members of the 로스트 Boys when there was too many of them 또는 when they grew too old. (In other words, he would murder them). Also, in the battle against the pirates, Peter would switch sides, fighting against the 로스트 Boys too. For no reason; just for fun.
Snow White
In the 디즈니 version, the 퀸 "kills" Snow White 의해 feeding her a poisonous apple, Snow is awoken with Love's First Kiss, and the 퀸 falls off a cliff during a lighting storm and then crushed 의해 the boulder. (I would think, anyway, I don't know.)
In the original, the Evil 퀸 tries to kill Snow three times; the first 의해 tying a ribbon around her waist too tight, the 초 의해 brushing a poisonous comb through her hair, the last is the poisonous apple, which succeeds to a point. The Prince, when he discovers her, does not 키스 her, but instead he likes the look of the girl's dead body so much he orders his men to take her body back to his 성 so he can gaze upon it 또는 whatever. (Falling in 사랑 with a dead body. Nice. Better than 키싱 one I suppose.) One of the men carrying the coffin stumbles over a rock and and as that happens the piece of 사과, 애플 dislodges from Snow White's neck, waking her up. At the Prince and Snow White's wedding, the 퀸 is invited, and she is forced to dance in red hot iron shoes until she drops down dead. Great.
신데렐라
The movie 신데렐라 is similar to the stories, however the ending differs.
In a version of 신데렐라 (I'm not sure which version though), the stepsisters are not ugly, but beautiful with "black hearts". They cut off pieces of their feet in order to fit into the shoe. Jeez, they must really be desperate for that Prince. It's only when the Prince notices blood seeping from their shoe that he turns around and finds Cindy. As punishment, the sisters have their eyes pecked out 의해 birds.
The Little Mermaid
This probably isn't much of a surprise to most people. In the 디즈니 movie, she makes a bargain with the sea witch for three days on land to fall in 사랑 with her Prince. If she fails to do so, she belongs to the sea witch (Ursula).
In the story 의해 Hans Christian Andersen, the mermaid has her tongue cut out so she can't speak, and whenever it walks it feels like she's stepping on knives; causing her feet to bleed. She is found 의해 the Prince and enjoys his hospitality, but he falls in 사랑 with another woman and marries her. The little mermaid's sisters cut off their hair in return for a 칼, 나이프 and give it to their sister, explaining that if she were to kill the Prince and spill some of his blood on her legs, her legs will morph back into a tail and she can become a mermaid again. However the little mermaid cannot bring herself to commit the murder and instead throws herself out to sea where she turns to sea foam.
Pinocchio
I haven't seen this movie in a while but most people know it to be about a little wooden puppet owned 의해 Gepetto who must prove himself in order to become a real boy, which he succeeds at.
In the story, however, he does not succeed. He's hung from a 나무, 트리 의해 a 여우 and a cat. Oh and 의해 the way, he KILLS JIMINY CRICKET. FOR FUN. That just ruined everything. Always let your conscience be your guide. UNLESS IT INVOLVES KILLING CRICKETS.
Beauty and the Beast
Belle the bookworm begs to take her father's place in a palace and befriends the beast, eventually falling in 사랑 with him.
One of this story's original versions I actually know the name of: Little Broomsticks. In this one she has two stepsisters (Disney probably cut them out, because otherwise it would be similar to Cinderella.) When the Beast is turned back into a Prince, Beauty invites her sisters to live with her in the castle. Being so jealous of her, they drown her. Yeah. And then the same enchantress that turned the Prince into a Beast brings Beauty back to life and turns the sisters to stone. Woohoo.
Hercules
In the movie Hercules saves a town and Mount Olympus while find the 사랑 of his life on his way to restore his godhood.
In the myth, he marries Princess Megara (if she was a princess in the story then how come she wasn't a princess in the 디즈니 version? Was it because she was the bad guy? That's sad.) Yeah so anyway he marries Megara and they have two children.
He kills them.
And some texts say he killed Megara too.
Well that's great. She's my favourite heroine and turns out she's killed 의해 one of my favourite heroes. (Not to mention her own husband.)
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
In the first five 또는 so 분 of the 디즈니 film, men are captured, a woman is killed and her baby is almost murdered. It might surprise 당신 that the story (by Victor Hugo, who wrote Les Miserables, hint hint) is darker.
Frollo, for a start, stabs Phoebus in the back. Phoebus blames Esmeralda. Esmeralda is sentenced to execution, only to be saved at the last 분 by...
No one. She just dies.
And Quasimodo stays 의해 her body and dies too, of starvation.
Sleeping Beauty
This was the biggest shock for me and that is why it is last I suppose. Basically Sleeping Beauty is about a beautiful young woman who meets a prince, pricks her finger and falls into a deep sleep, only to be awoken 의해 her handsome Prince, with a tame kiss.
Notice I said the word "tame."
Basically the beautiful young woman (Tahlia as she is known) pricks her finger and falls asleep. A King passes 의해 and rapes her. I was REALLY angry about that when I found out. That is one of the most disgusting and despicable things anybody can do. For God's sake. Oh, and 의해 the way, she's still asleep, and while she's still asleep, she gives birth to the King's twins. Looking for milk, one of the 아기 suck the 마법에 걸린 사랑 spindle from her finger, allowing her to wake up. Shortly, the King comes back, eager to have his way again (the monster) and Tahlia's fine with it. (Why?). The King goes back to his kingdom and the 퀸 finds out about Tahlia and her kids. She tries to have the 아기 cooked and eaten 의해 the King, and Tahlia burnt alive, but the King saves the 일 and the 퀸 is burnt alive instead.
And they all live happily ever after after the rape, giving birth and attempted slaughter.
Hope 당신 enjoyed. I'm guessing most of 당신 knew some 또는 all of these. Doesn't matter. Sorry if it ruined the happy endings. Gotta face the truth sometimes though.
Merci et au revoir!
