Don’t we all love Disney movies? Especially the fairy tales that made our childhood so awesome. What if we tell you these movies were only the good part of the original stories, even some of them were twisted to the core to give it a dreamy goodie-goodie effect? Don’t believe us?
Well, beware, as we are going to pop your fairytale bubble and let you learn the grating truth about them. After reading the original version you might want to ask – Why Disney, Why?
Disney Movies Version:
A stepdaughter who was mistreated all her life leaves a slipper in a grand ball. A prince comes looking for her and after that slipper fits her feet, the prince marries her and they live happily ever after.
The Original Story:
Well, when the prince came and asked all the young ladies to try it on, the evil mother asked her two daughters to cut off their feet to fit into that slipper. However, she failed and Cinderella got the prince. On the top of that those sisters had their eyes mutilated by some pigeons on the day of Cinderella’s wedding.
What Disney Told Us:
The princess cuts her finger on a spinning wheel’s axis and falls to eternal sleep. Then a prince comes and wakes her up with a sweet kiss and they both get their happily ever after.
The Original Story:
Forget about that sweet kiss. The prince actually gets Aurora pregnant and leaves her owing to the fact that he is already married. Aurora wakes up with the birth of her twins and leaves for the palace. On her arrival, the wife of prince tries to kill all three of them but the king convinces Aurora to the prince who basically raped her while she was asleep. Disgusting!
Disney’s Version:
Belle is kidnaped by a beast who lives in a massive castle. While living with him, she realizes that he isn’t a bad person and falls in love with him. Her kiss breaks the spell and he becomes the prince. Tada! Happy ending.
Original Story:
There is no sign of Belle’s sisters in the Disney version, however, in the original story, she is not the only child. After being kidnapped by the beast and imposing a strong positive impression on his heart, belle demands to visit her sisters for a week. Beast allows her and after watching her covered in pearls and diamonds, her sisters get jealous and plan to convince her to stay longer so that the beast get furious and kill belle.
Disney Movies Version:
Snow White was the fairest of all and her skin tone became a threat to her life. She had to escape to the woods, where she found seven dwarfs and started living with them. There she was conned and poisoned by a witch, a prince came and revived Snow White’s life after placing a sweet kiss on her lips. The witch was killed by the seven dwarfs.
Original Story:
The fate of that witch wasn’t so generous. She wasn’t killed and died simply under the rock. In the original story, she was forced to dance in in heated iron shoe till she died. So much for revenge?
Disney’s Version:
Rapunzel is a beautiful princess with long blonde hair and magical tears who has been trapped in a tower by a witch. She meets a bandit and after they both fight that witch, she marries the bandit and lives happily ever after.
The Original Story:
The Rapunzel was adopted by her farmer parents who got her in exchange for a salad with a witch when she was an infant. She was 12 when the witch found her again and locked in a tower which has no doors. The only way to climb up your way to that tower was beautiful, long hair of Rapunzel. One day a prince heard her sing and got up the tower. They made love and decided to get married. The prince left and came back again to take Rapunzel with him.
He found that witch, who threw him out of the window. The prince landed on spikes and had his eyes mutilated. He spent month roaming in the woods to find Rapunzel, until one day he heard her voice. By that time Rapunzel had two children, she cried after looking at her blind prince and her magical tears gave him sight back. Finally a happy ending.
