    „Ah, fairy tales. So popular among children and so often considered sweet and fantastical. You may be surprised just how dark and scary the origins of your favorites really are.”

    “The little Mermaid

    Disney took out the gore and turned this creepy tale into one with a happy ending.
    (...) Once she gives up her fins for legs and her voice for a life of muteness, she finds that she always feels like she is walking on two sharp knives. (...) Instead of marrying her, the prince marries another, and the little mermaid’s heart breaks.

    She is then given a proposition by the Sea Witch to kill her beloved prince and return to her happy life. The mermaid cannot bring herself to do this and throws herself into the sea as her body dissolves into sea foam.”

      Editing … Did you know that in the original myth of Hercules, Hercules killed his entire family while under control by Hera who was jealous of him? That's pretty messed up. Of course, none of that made it into the Disney movie.

      Editing … Wasn't the original Hans Christian Andersen story also based on Andersen's unrequited love for another man (with the mermaid representing Andersen)?

      Editing … And that ashes ashes we all fall down thing is based on the black plague or something. They used to tell kids some fucked up shit.

      Editing … Goldilocks And The Three Bears seems like it was far more realistic in the original version. If you break into a bear's house you will obviously die a horrible death, bears don't take kindly to home invasions. And Red Riding Hood eating her own grandmother is metal as fuck.
