Bonjour!
Today I am going to be telling 你 the original fairytales before 迪士尼 retold them. (They're not necessarily the first, original versions of the stories but they are dark ones). 你 might know most of these and that's cool, but in case 你 didn't, here they are. Please note I have done some research - I'm not just making it up.
This 文章 should probably be in the 迪士尼 Club, but the majority of these stories are 迪士尼 Princess and heroine stories. Besides, I like to get feedback and nice 评论 and I hardly ever get 评论 in the 迪士尼 club.
These aren't ranked 或者 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 由 J M Barrie, Peter Pan would "thin out" the members of the 迷失 Boys when there was too many of them 或者 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 迷失 Boys too. For no reason; just for fun.
Snow White
In the 迪士尼 version, the 皇后乐队 "kills" Snow White 由 feeding her a poisonous apple, Snow is awoken with Love's First Kiss, and the 皇后乐队 falls off a cliff during a lighting storm and then crushed 由 the boulder. (I would think, anyway, I don't know.)
In the original, the Evil 皇后乐队 tries to kill Snow three times; the first 由 tying a ribbon around her waist too tight, the 秒 由 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 吻乐队（Kiss） 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 城堡 so he can gaze upon it 或者 whatever. (Falling in 爱情 with a dead body. Nice. Better than 接吻 one I suppose.) One of the men carrying the coffin stumbles over a rock and and as that happens the piece of 苹果 dislodges from Snow White's neck, waking her up. At the Prince and Snow White's wedding, the 皇后乐队 is invited, and she is forced to dance in red hot iron shoes until she drops down dead. Great.
灰姑娘
The movie 灰姑娘 is similar to the stories, however the ending differs.
In a version of 灰姑娘 (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 由 birds.
The Little Mermaid
This probably isn't much of a surprise to most people. In the 迪士尼 movie, she makes a bargain with the sea witch for three days on land to fall in 爱情 with her Prince. If she fails to do so, she belongs to the sea witch (Ursula).
In the story 由 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 由 the Prince and enjoys his hospitality, but he falls in 爱情 with another woman and marries her. The little mermaid's sisters cut off their hair in return for a 刀 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 由 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 树 由 a 狐狸 and a cat. Oh and 由 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 爱情 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 爱情 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 迪士尼 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 由 one of my favourite heroes. (Not to mention her own husband.)
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
In the first five 或者 so 分钟 of the 迪士尼 film, men are captured, a woman is killed and her baby is almost murdered. It might surprise 你 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 分钟 by...
No one. She just dies.
And Quasimodo stays 由 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 由 her handsome Prince, with a tame kiss.
Notice I 说 the word "tame."
Basically the beautiful young woman (Tahlia as she is known) pricks her finger and falls asleep. A King passes 由 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 由 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 婴儿 suck the 着魔 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 皇后乐队 finds out about Tahlia and her kids. She tries to have the 婴儿 cooked and eaten 由 the King, and Tahlia burnt alive, but the King saves the 日 and the 皇后乐队 is burnt alive instead.
And they all live happily ever after after the rape, giving birth and attempted slaughter.
Hope 你 enjoyed. I'm guessing most of 你 knew some 或者 all of these. Doesn't matter. Sorry if it ruined the happy endings. Gotta face the truth sometimes though.
Merci et au revoir!
