Unbeknownst to many a Disney fan, original fairy tales are not what they would have you believe, the real ones are far more sinister and twisted. (i feel like a rock band that only sings operettas about fairy tales should call themselves Twisted Sinister) Some Fairy tales were concocted to teach a moral lesson and to keep children from wandering off, thus keeping them in their town. We in the 21st century are being ripped off with cleaned up squeaky clean sugar spun niceties, when we are missing out on some of the best plot twists ever!
In relation to my frog prince post, some versions believed that in order to break the spell on the frog prince, he had to be thrown against a wall, burned and decapitated.
In some versions of Pinnochio, Geppetto kills the cricket with a hammer, not what happened to Walt Disney's Jiminy Cricket at all. And Sleeping Beauty was raped by her own father and woke up nine months later to the news that she had twins!
Even when i was super little the only Disney film i could bring myself to like was Beauty and the Beast and that was because of the castle.
Here is a great short Youtube video that sums up the best of the messed ;)
and here is a really great top ten
Now, to alleviate the fumes of perfection, here are some Zombie Disney princesses by this guy. Very talented
