What’s not to
love about animals that talk and brave boys and girls who overcame mean
caretakers. In fact given a chance we watched those happy ending movies
every day as kids. A look at the real stories behind these Disney movies
however shows some gruesome details that were left out. Reading this
will change how you viewed your childhood completely.
1. Cinderella
In the movie,
the mermaid rescues the prince and they fall in love. She visits a witch
who gives her legs and gets her tongue in exchange. In the story, the
mermaid’s only way to remain human is by finding a prince, kiss him; he
falls in love with her and later marries her. If she fails she turns back to a mermaid in the movie but in the story, she dies. The penalty for having legs in the story is that every single step feels like she is walking on shards of sharp glass. The
prince marries another woman and but the mermaid can’t kill him as is
required of her and she instead turns into sea foam after throwing
herself into the sea.
3. The Fox and the Hound
A fox is raised
by a hunter’s family but runs of into the wild in the book. On one of
his returns to taunt the dogs, a dog breaks his chains and is hit by a
train while trying to chase him. The devastated hunter vows to kill the
fox but doesn’t catch him. The fox, Tod is killed by exhaustion from running while Copper the dog is shot dead due to old age. The movie though has a baby fox and puppy become great friends.
4. Beauty and the Beast
Some accuracy
is maintained in this one, but something is left out. Belle’s two wicked
sisters persuade her not to leave after the beast allows her to go home
for only a week. This is in the hopes that the beast eats her up alive
on return due to anger. That’s no happy ending.
5. Pinocchio
Pinocchio’s is
more mischievous in the book. As soon as he learns to walk in the book,
he runs off and has Geppetto arrested because the police think he is
being abused. On his return home he kills a talking cricket and sells
off his books for a Great Marionette Theatre ticket after Geppeto
insists he returns to school. A fox and cat try to hang him after
stealing his money but he changes and saves Geppetto from the terrible
dogfish. The part where boys are turned into donkeys and sold off to
evil circuses did end up in the movie though.
6. Sleeping Beauty
The real story
by Giambattista has a king knock on Sleeping Beauty’s castle and getting
no answer climbs up to the window using a ladder. He rapes the
unconscious princess and leaves. The princess awakes after giving birth
to twins and surprisingly gets married to the same king who raped her.
The King’s first wife finds out about the marriage and fails in a plan
to kill the twins, cook them and have the king eat them. The king and
princess live happily ever after. The movie adapted the updated version of Perrault that has a tamer version of the story.
7. Tangled
The Brothers Grimm version has the prince get Rapunzell pregnant before they escape. On
discovering this, the evil sorceress cuts off her hair and chases her
into the wilderness. The prince shows up and desperately jumps of the
window and gets blinded by thorns. He wanders blindly while their twins are born.
The prince finally finds Rapunzell after hearing her sweet voice. His
sight is restored by her tears and they live happily after this in the
prince’s kingdom.
8. The Lion King
The movie was
loosely adapted from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Imagine that! The king is
killed by a jealous brother and when the son finds out declares revenge.
He gets distracted but finally kills the jealous brother. Everyone dies
though in Shakespeare’s version.
9. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
In both the
movie and the Brothers Grimm version, the evil queen asks the huntsman
to kill Snow White in the forest. In the story though, the huntsman
should bring back Snow Whites liver and heart to the queen. He brings
back the heart and liver of a boar after he couldn’t kill her which the
queen eats in the belief that they are Snow White’s. Yuck. Just like in
the movie, Snow White becomes unconscious from eating an apple given by
the queen. The book has a prince take her away in a glass coffin while
still unconscious. Her carriers trip though and the apple dislodges from
her throat. Snow White and the prince get married and during
their wedding, they force the queen to walk in burning hot iron shoes to
her death.
