Dude 70% of the reason why this sounds creepy is the way you tell the facts. Your voice is haunting I like it

[autumbreeze]

2:28 you forgot to mentioned that, after the wedding, the step-sisters get their eyes pecked out by birds

[hanim]

you forgot to mention that the legs of the little meermaid hurt extremly with every step she took and she still danced with the prince the whole night.

Re: Sleeping Beauty.
There's another portion of the tale, now almost forgotten, that's even more disturbing!
After Sleeping Beauty has been awakened by the Prince - never mind how - he eventually brings her and their two children home with him to live with his parents. The queen, his mother, is descended from ogres, and displays ogristic (i.e. cannibalistic) tendencies, but she manages to keep them under control. But later, after the king dies, and the prince goes off to war, the queen orders the cook to prepare one child, then another, so she can eat them. Then she orders the cook to do the same thing with Sleeping Beauty. Fortunately, the cook deceives the queen, substituting different animal meat for the three victims. But the queen later discovers the deception, and orders a tub of vile creatures - lizards, snails, snakes, spiders, etc. - intending to throw the cook, the children, and Sleeping Beauty into it. Just in time, the Prince returns to prevent the murder, and the queen dives into the tub herself, committing suicide.
Now that's something you'll never see in a Disney movie!

I think it's your voice that help makes these sound extra creepy too.

I dont get it.. Is the prince in cinderella blind or what? Why can't he just recognized the girl he danced the other night instead of fitting the shoe to every lady in their place.

I'm from Germany and I grew up with most of the Originals listed. I remember going crazy on the Disney movies because they were just not "right" for my understanding 😂

[deffnotnicolehays]

Anyone realize that some of these origins were in the movie “Into the Woods”

Snow White: "hot ironed shoes to dance till she died"

Me: now I get the meaning on 'Dance Till You're Dead'

[clarakyme]

i think i remember more to cinderella...
there wasn't a fairy god mother that granted her wish... it was a tree that ella planted on her mother's grave, and watered with her own tears....her mother's spirit lives in the tree and grants cinderella's wish to go to the ball.
when the prince finally lets cinderella try on the shoes and realize she's the one he's looking for, the stepmother and her daughters demand that cinderella bring them along with her to the palace, and she has no choice but to agree. Then during the wedding with the prince, the spirit of her mother/the tree commanded some birds to peck out the eyes of the stepmother and the step sisters and blinds them.

"The Little Mermaid" isn't a dark story. It's actually a beautiful story of selfless love. Only her body turns into sea foam and her soul is lifted into the sky because she was truly loved by the prince (as a sister) and was able to give true love in return. Absolutely beautiful.

Is it weird that I hate scary stuff like this but I watch it anyway?

[timothykimmel]

There's a reason it's called the Brother's Grimm....

[Lario]

lol here in The Netherlands there's a children's fairytale that goes something like this:
There were two neighbours: grootoog (big-eye) and kleinoog (small-eye). grootoog is mad at his neighbour so he kills kleinoog's cow. Kleinoog skins his dead cow and goes to the market where he scares some thieves with his cow's skin and gets their money. Grootoog wants a lot of money as well so he kills and skins all his cows and goes to the market with the skins he's collected but he only gets a small amount of money for them. Grootoog gets jealous of Kleinoog and wants to murder him but he accidentally murders Kleinoog's mother by chopping her head off with an axe in her sleep. Kleinoog put his dead mom on a cart and when a man wants to ask her something the man nudges her to 'wake her up' and her head falls off. The man thinks he's killed the old lady and gives Kleinoog a big amount of money. Grootoog, the greedy motherfucker he is, gets jealous again so he kills his own mother and tried to sell her corpse on the market. Obviously it didn't work. Grootoog, now overwhelmed with rage kidnaps Kleinoog and stuffs him in a barrel and throws the barrel in the river. A man finds the barrel with Kleinoog inside and saves him. When Grootoog and Kleinoog meet again Grootoog asks Kleinoog why he's still alive. Kleinoog tells him that when he was inside the barrel he was transported to a wonderful dreamland where a man offered him a lot of money for iron. Sadly Kleinoog didn't have any iron so he didn't get any money. Grootoog wants the man's money. Kleinoog helps him into the barrel and gives Grootoog some iron to give to the man. Because of  the heavy iron the barrel sinks and Grootoog drowns to death.
THE END GOOD NIGHT KIDS

U forgot the most disturbing part of the original Sleeping Beauty. When the prince returns for another booty call he finds her awake and w/ 2 infants. He then takes them home to his kingdom and his wife. His wife is both enraged and humiliated at his obvious indiscretion but she keeps her composure and plays nice with SB. After she gains SB's trust she then murders her and the infants before ordering the cook to make them into a stew for her and the prince. They are served the stew that night and the prince devours it declaring the meat to be the most tender that he has ever had. His wife then reveals the horrifying truth about the meat's source and warns him of the consequences of straying any more

When you said the prince "had his way" with cinderella while she was sleeping, with the owl's facial expression at 6:00 I died. That was perfect man

I'm german, and the story of "Red Riding Hood" I was told, actualy ended like this:

After the wolf had eaten the grandmother and little red riding hood too, he lied down to sleep next to a river. The hunter came, cut open the belly of the wolf while he was sleeping and saved the grandma and red riding hood. Then he filled his stomach with stones, making him unable to move. They pushed him into the river and he drowned.
LA FIN

How tf can someone fall in love with STONE COLLUMS?! 😂😂😂😂😂 that is hardcore punishment.

[chickenpermissionart]

I love Brother's Grimm version better. They are dark and fascinating.😈

[naturebehindglass]

If you grew up in Germany, this doesn't ruin your childhood, but is pretty much how the stories are read to you... at least the ones that have been written down by the brothers Grimm or by Hans Christian Anderson...
