What REALLY Happened To The Stepsisters In The Original Cinderella Story!

Cinderella was originally a story that was written by the Brothers Grimm, and as their name would apply, their version of the story is a lot darker than the one that Disney gave us. The original tale is full of disturbing acts and gruesome images that Disney left out of their version. And while we love the original version of the story, we definitely think the Brothers Grimm version is worth telling. And it may keep you up at night as a result, so head warning. In today’s video, we are actually going to go over some of the things that REALLY happened in the original tale of Cinderella, and compare it to the classic Disney version that many already know of. Some of these might shock you.

When I was a little girl my mother bought a huge book of fairy tales. It was all of the original dark versions. I remember reading the Brothers Grimm version.

I think that we are easily shocked since we all grew with the disney versions, when the original tales were actually made to scare the children and focused on having a moral more than making the children dream. They were good at it back in the 18th century, glad I'm not born then :)

I don't know if you know but the original story of Cinderella was actually written by Charles Perrault, a French writer, in the 16th Century before being rewritten by the Grimm brothers. In that tale Cinderella did have a fairy Godmother, even though this time, her slippers weren't made of glass either, they were made of fur.

There are lots of versions and adaptation of cinderella throughout the centuries. In fact, from what I heard, the story originated in ancient Egypt. Apparently, a servant working in the pharaoh palace got one of her sandals stolen by a eagle which ended up falling on the pharaoh himself. Thinking it was a sign from Ra, the pharaoh searched for the sandal's owner and married her. Interesting to see how stories change with time.

The golden shoe was actually the FIRST night. The ball went on for 3 nights and each night she came in with a different outfit and shoe. Because she ran away from him the first 2 nights, the prince decides that the final night is when he covers the stairs in pitch to keep her from running away.

Brothers Grimm versions of stories were always my favorite growing up as I kid, I always hated Disney movies for how the villains either died off screen or got off too lightly

The more gory version with the cutting of the foot parts and eye-gouging is the Grimm version...however the Disney interpretation, and possibly the more well-known, is the 1697 Perrault version, i.e. with the Fairy Godmother rather than the mother and willow tree and birds etc...

The step sisters thought she ate all that bullying up

[duzinchevicimariela]

I also remember a version where her mom got turned into a black sheep and got eaten by the step mother and sisters, they even offered Cinderella to eat as well but of course she refused knowing that's her mom, after they ate Cinderella burried the bones under a tree (and the rest is the same)

I would love to see the original version portrayed on the big screen. I don’t care if the film would be rated R

[moonprincesst.s.h.ever]

CORRECTIONS: Actually, Disney's Cinderella is based on the fairy tale of the same name by Charles Perrault. It does have a fairy godmother, a magic pumpkin and glass slippers. Also, the Brothers Grimm didn't write Cinderella. They just adapted it into their collection of stories.

Boy o boy. Disney's version made my younger self cry. If I had seen this, i would be scarred for life.

[LilDemona]

The Brothers Grimm version of Cinderella is my absolute favorite version 😇

[hannas]

I grew up on both the disney and the grimms cuz here in my country there was always remakes of the original grimm stories on tv and idk i always found them super intresting

[pandoravex]

Honestly, if the remakes followed the OG stories more closely, I’d actually enjoy them and they’d actually have a purpose for existing.

[WhiteIndoraptor]

I know the original story of Cinderella too it’s very disturbing. 😳

Let's pray so there will be a brother grimm version.. As a movie in theaters

[AC-bqsz]

No way would I watch a movie with women cutting their freakin feet. The thought makes me crawl in my skin, although hearing the original version of the story is intriguing.

[joygernautm]

The most hilarious thing is that in the book version he was fooled by two women who were not Cinderella. I mean he danced with her and spend an evening with her. Surely he would remember what her face look like😂

[paulshamul]

What?!! Cinderella's father actually allowed his own daughter to be abused!!?? I cannot believe that!! 😢
