lindseyjean :

women aren't ever safe from men

Apple Bannans :

The king did that to the princess, his daughter?

Mainly Murph & Some Mom 🤣 :

Ah. The privilege and weirdness of growing up being read the original Grim’s fairy tales before bed as a child… 😂

🤎🤎 :

wtf why where they so dark and twisted back then

lizziebellegranger🍉 :

i found out abt the dark version in high school yearssss ago. i was shocked. after i found out, i did extensive reading & research & found out that a lot of fairytales were watered down.

Tania L :

They’ve been roofied

Tifftopia70 :

If Disney told the truth about this story it wouldn’t have been more devastating for me when I was a kid than Bambi or Old Yeller. 😭

ᯓava★ :

Who tf wrote this

kissdogsnotfrogs :

All Disney stories are cleaned up versions of much darker tales.

chillfiller :

sounds like the next A24 movie

Corvus Sativus :

Doesn't Dopey save her or something?

G :

and Talia herself is sentenced to burn like a witch, and is put on the pyre, it isn't until the butcher comes running with her kids to prove her innocence

Deb :

I didn’t grow up with the Disney version but I certainly didn’t grow up with the grotesque version.

landi_lush :

EXCUSE ME!!

j.a.mom :

all the new fairytales, come from one old fairytale

Anastasia 🇨🇭 :

If it gives you some peace of mind, the truth is these dark folktales weren't meant for kids' ears anyway

the_woke_bruja :

No Anne Rice’s version was.
