Anyone who grew up with Disney movies knows that they can get pretty dark, from Mufasa getting trampled to death in The Lion King to Quasimodo's mother being brutally killed in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Still, many of Disney's animated classics have had to soften or remove the more gruesome or depressing aspects of the fairy tales that they were based on. Make sure you let us know if we forgot any in the comments below! Here is Screen Rant's Dark Disney: Real Stories Behind Popular Disney Films.

As an Austrian, I grew up with the dark stories of the Brothers Grimm. I'm not surprised at all.
+NoctLightCloud unnie/oppa are you a fan of k-pop
Dongho Lover
Yes I am :D TVXQ, JYJ, Shinee, SNSD - that's my beat^^
My mom is Austrian and she tells me the Grimm stories sometimes
Bianca May I see^^ Which one is your favourite story?^^
+NoctLightCloud I love the original Snow White! It's the best!!
Peter Pan. In the original novel, Peter used to thin out the Lost Boys when they got too old or too large in number, often switching sides in battle and launching attacks on the Lost Boys, killing them in the process. Captain Hook was a lost boy who began a rebellion against Peter for his behaviour and to save his own life. He ended up getting his hand cut off in the process, hence the hook. In other words, in the novel, Captain Hook only wanted to stop Peter so that he and the Lost Boys could live in peace.
+Sarah Johnston Once Upon A Time was right, Hook is good, Pan is evil :D
Sparks Flying Well, I didn't watch that show (I just didn't like it, nor the acting), so I'll have to take your word for it.
+Sparks Flying I binged on that show a year or so ago...thanks for reminding me about catching up :)
Also Hook is so hot. Like really. Centre of the Sun hot.
gingergamergirl98
Don't I know it
Wow that would mean captain Pete is a good guy.... Weird
Peter Pans original plot was actually holding the kids hostage till they grow up, then when they do grow up, he murdered the boys and set free the girls. Captain Hook was actually the first boy to escape, but not without losing a hand.
+Saajan Shah kinda wanna red that story now. also fuck peter pan now im on hook's side !
so that would make peter the bad guy and hook the victim. .... wow
No. Maybe read the ACTUAL BOOK? None of that is true.
In the show once upon a time Peter Pan is evil
+Mckenna Reed OMG love that show xD
In another version of Cinderella, Cinderella kills her stepmother by locking her in her bedroom and starving her to death, and in yet another version, she kills her stepmother by tying her hands together and snapping her neck by slamming the lid of a chest on it.
And in another version still, she kills her step mother by tying her upside down, putting her head in a bucket of water for her to drown. ;) lol
If I were her, I'd lock her in my room, tie her hands behind her, starve her, and let the mice eat the witch. Go Cinderelli, Cinderelli
WTF
Reagan Cox omg then Cinderella wasn't so "kind" then😶
07uu
cinderella's stepmom:im gonna lock u in this room
cinderella: whatever
and i changed the wifi password
NO!!!!!!!!!
respect to you lol
+Drome thx
+Darkest Fairy worst puinishment ever
+Darkest Fairy darth vader scream
Nozima Ergashzoda plz tell me y this is plagerism bc i thought of typing this and havent seen any posts of this. Also, plagerism has to do with copying someones work and claiming it as their own in the educational and argumentative world. This is g+. So wake up
You forgot the real ending of the Little Mermaid...She doesn't turn into sea foam...she is turned into a child of the air, who are spirits, able to earn a human soul after 300 years so they can go to heaven. During this time they must float through the houses that have children...for every bit of laughter of a child they hear, a year is removed from their sentence, but for every tear that falls, a day is added.
+Jen Dowie her body turns into foam, her spirit into a "child of the air"
FridayTeardrop Ah...yes well it's been a long time since I read it. Thanks for the clarification!
Jen Dowie you are welcome :-)
+Jen Dowie ive read that that's the original story i think
The Wizard Scout Ya...most who make these lists tend to forget about mentioning the rest of it.
actually pretty surprising, didn't realize movies were so misleading :/
+Spacebound hi SB :)
or thumnails
And no mention about Alice in Wonderland? The original novel is even darker than the Disney version.
True true but Alice in wonderland is not a Disney movie
Oh well I don't know if Alice in wonderland is a Disney movie or not so if I am wrong sorry for saying that it is not a Disney movie :)
The Donkey Scene from Pinnochio scared the crap out of me as a child,and it still does...
I thought I was the only one!
+LunarBee Me too, I didn't watch the movie again for about 13 years, and I couldn't make it through that scene even though I was about 18 at the time, LOL
The whale scene scared mi i havnt watched it for years and im 20 now stil havnt seen it any more
Omg I'm not alone! XD
bpweerjehdehdjeo🎾🎽⛲🏰⛲😨😨😱😬😇😈😈😈😈
how the fuck does someone sleeping for 9 months give birth to healthy children?
Because writer said so fod there fictional world
+pearlmethystwhore Magic/plot
su
+pearlmethystwhore duh, she was sleep-eating of course
+Sol Usman Wow how'd you get yesterday at the bottom of ur comment... :\
If disney made the original stories into movies. I would have nightmares for the rest of my life
Yeah, same here!
+Miles Radke Disney got some original stories into the movie "Into the woods". Cinderella and Rapunsels stories are almost like described in this video.
+Clara Gröninger But it wasn't an animation, actually I don't think it should be for kids. Anyway, I don't like it, Disney could have made it like the original stories but in a different way.
+Miles Radke lol same
+Miles Radke They used Cinderella and Rapunzel in "Into the Woods" and the "Frozen" story in "Once Upon A Time"
that last 1 ruined my whole life
+Daniel Brett-Hewitt IKR!
+Daniel Brett-Hewitt right?!?! lol
I wish I had just not watched
life aint worth livin
(·_·)=====
\
+Daniel Brett-Hewitt Ikr! I'm gonna have nightmare cause I just watched it and it's night! I'm scared to go to sleep and now cause of that last story I'm gonna hate sleeping beauty for the rest of my life! Like why would he just rape her like why!!!!???????!!!!!!!
Into The Woods taught me all of this.
Right?
I luv that movie
i love that movie, but i havent seen the beginning part of the movie. i just saw the part where they sang that into the woods song until the end
watch the musical version....it's much better than the movie version. they changed a lot in the Disney movie to make it more kid friendly but the musical version is much darker and closer to the grim versions of the stories
me too
So I'm on *that* side of UA-cam now.
+Joshua “Ninja” Perez Nah not really.
This channels great but I imagine if you keep clicking on the suggestions you could get to that side in maybe 3 or 4 clicks.
It is a good channel but I won't risk going to that side because all I will see is "disney illuminote confirmded!!!" if I go that far.
Same
Yep. Welcome to the 'Deep Tube': Where anything goes and usually does, leaving a psychological scar.😉
gffshwvv
correct me if i'm wrong but isn't pocahontas based on a real person? pocahontas was taken by john smith to england forcefully and she was like, 12 and john smith was much older. thats why a lot of aboriginals hate the movie. she was basically captured by john and she had kids at a young age
+Monica Tokarz glad to know!! thanks. i guess i was told something else
+Exzaviour Alexzander Pocahontas knew John went to England cuz he was sick. She would ask the people of Jamestown like everyday when he was supposed to come back. They all got sick of it and lied, telling her that Smith was dead. Then she married John Rawlins after taking her Christian name of either Rebecca or Rachel (I can't remember)
+Exzaviour Alexzander she is really 12 though.. I think John is supposed to be like 28 or over
+Sasha D. Yes, she changed to Rebecca.
in the version I heard after John got ill he took Pocahontas with him to England where they married under her Christian name Rebecca. One night John friends raped her. She commuted suicide at 26 stabbing herself with John's sword.
The last one, you didn't finish the story.. The wife of the king discovered Aurora and her twin children and took the children. She cooked and fed the children to the king.
Oh okay. Wow
+SkytheSecretNinja Well...I'm done for now
+SkytheSecretNinja Oh.... ew, gruesome.
+SkytheSecretNinja no, she didn't manage to cook the children, because the king killed her before she did it!
+SkytheSecretNinja The two babies killed the king feed the mother and jumped from the tower, the mother had a stomach ache and died
they are no dark versions just the ORIGINAL VERSION
So... Your saying none of the orignal stories were dark?
@@lavenderbuds9653 yup
True-
It's also worth noting that in the original Little Mermaid, it was said that mermaids had no souls and after dissolving into sea-foam they would simply cease to exist with no chance for an afterlife. However, in Anderson's original ending, after dissolving into see foam, the mermaid awakens as a glowing spirit. Because her final act was so selfless, some divine powers took pity on her and gave her a chance to earn her own soul and then proceed to heaven.
While not as upbeat as Disney's ending, it is more open and has a much stronger moral message.
+cadman2300 thanks! this is great piece of info!
😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😯
+Cheshire However, before she could go to heaven, she had to stay as a spirit for a time and make children happy, and everytime a child cries, one more day is added on that time
Relany Ampora
oh, so before she goes to heaven she has infinity in hell created here? That is evil.
Something like that yeah
Peter pan is actually a grim reaper for children and Neverland is the "underworld" pan takes them to when they die.
Its also why they never grow up. And captain hook still ages which is why he fears the ticking clock which symbolizes his dead.
+Lloyd ada Wow.
You just crushed my childhood
THATS WHY THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO GROW UP! YOU CANT GROW UP IF YOUR DEAD!
The author who wrote Peter Pan was writing it for his brother (guessing his name was Peter) who tragically died so he wrote down adventures he believes his brother is having in heaven (Neverland) bittersweet.
The one about sleeping beauty was the most shocking. Lol God...
IKR!!!!!..... Ahgggg!!!!..... That guy is nuts! Seriously!!!! WTF WAS WRONG WITH BOOKS AND CRAP BACK THEN!!!???
DM MCBlaze
Lol yeah but honestly I like the stories. Back then they were so raw and brutal but the kids grew up just fine. Nowdays everyone tries to be politically correct and not offend anybody because it seems that nowdays everyone is feeling offended by almost every little thing.
+Supervillain Yup! Mofos are offended by EVERY. SINGLE. THING these days. sad.
+Driver In the original SnowWite the evil queen tries to kill her in 3 ways
1/ courset strings that nearly choke her to death
2/ poison comb
3/ apple-I think
Back then these stories were not for kids
holy FUCK sleeping beauty is messed up. goodbye happy innocent childhood. it was nice knowin' ya.
Did you simply cap f*** because you were trying to imply that you were shouting it or was it for another reason.....
Ikr
xD I didn't mean it like that. But that's funny.
oh shit my sweet sweet childhood is gone I'm scared for life THX ALOT SLEEPING BUEATY
When I was a little girl my dad used to tell us that seafoam was dead mermaids, something he probably got from the original little mermaid story.
that's really cool!🌝
Oh that makes sense
Ok, the sleeping beauty one was messed up, it had the worst ending ever. It's not really all that realistic either, I mean, a passing king? Aren't kings usually attending to their kingly duty every day or leading their armies in battle? Why is this guy just walking around looking for sleeping women to rape...
That's brutal
+brahim dahbi well, its a story after all.
Hola CallMeChivi I mean yeah but it makes you wonder what kind of person it is who wrote the story
brahim dahbi someone sick?
Hola CallMeChivi Likely lol
Sleeping beauty, that was fucked up
+Linda Sam i dont know what parents read to their children about rape
+Felix P In many cases the Disney movie is much better than the original. What is wrong with people and their sick minds?
hackman669 the original was made in the dark ages I believe so that might be your answer about the dark mind put into their story
+hackman669
In the old times, horrible endings were made to make the moral of the story more understandable. But it was too traumatic, so luckily Disney came fixed that up.
+Kylie Wall i wached the snow queen and i whached it wen i was small and it was not bad
When I was really young we owned the book The Snow Queen, but because it was too hard to read, I didn't really get what the mirror was about, along with the whole story. But I remember I would just look at the pictures and stare at them for hours.
yes
Your profile picture! MCR?! :D
Your profile kinda of triggered me
don't worry i got some march 22 in my eye
Dat thumbnail... ;)
+Ivo Aboites ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o)
+Jack Smith LOL 😂
DAT THUMBNAIL...
Change the gag for my balls and it would be better
+CDNOVA 21300 well... hello Zone
The Little Mermaid book that I read, Ariel dissolved into sea foam, and she turned into a sea angel. But, she is forced to help little children in the heavens, and for every tear she drops, it means that she needs to stay trapped in the heavens for 1000 years.
I actually find that kind of a beautiful ending
+AJ Sweet THe actual ending was She turned into the daughter of Air and helps children to get to heaven and get a soul for eternal life.
+AJ Sweet what's wrong with being in heaven? Everything is all good in heaven.
+AJ Sweet I heard that Andersen added this ending because of the critics, who thought his original ending too dreary even for him. At first he meant for her to turn into sea foam and for that to be the ending because as a mermaid she had no soul.
+Ndasuunye this sounds like helll tho
The sisters cutting off pieces of their feet in Cinderella was shown in "Into the Woods "
***** oh yeah! You're right! I forgot about it! Dang my mind is blown!
+YellowMamba132 And well, how to put this..... into the woods sucked hard
Seth Hansen no it was pretty good for me. I liked how they put together all these different well known characters. But that part where they make us think that tha movie is over, but it really isn't was really unnecessary. And the second half was really slow
***** yeah I know. Like how Emily Blunt's character died. It was sad but it made the movie not too cliché.
I want to get that movie. Is it good
I think it would be AWESOME if they did the original Snow Queen story. That sound like a freaking amazing plot for Disney!
Connor Veenstra yass
I thought the little mermaid's ending went, that she could get her soul back after she did 300 years worth of good deeds.
there's loads of versions of all of the fairy tales, so there is probably another version where that happened, they just didn't use that here
yeah in one version she becomes a daughter of air which means that she's got to try and make children do good deeds or something for 300 years and every good thing a child does is a day or year (I can't remember) off the 300 years, but every time they do something bad she cries and every tear is a day/year added.
There may be some version out there that has that, but Hans Christian Anderson's story is the original story and in that version she kills herself instead of the prince and becomes sea foam.
+HayleeAndFamily You're right, that does happen! Hans Christian Andersen wrote two versions, basically the one was the unfinished story that circulated when he was still writing other stories (thats the one where she killed herself and turned to sea foam) and he left it like that for a while.
But he wasn't happy with the ending and wanted something to give the children a "moral" to work from, so he added the daughters of the air. They see what happened to her and having pity for her because she was so selfless/loving and wanted a soul (earlier in the book her grandmother tells her humans have short lives but also eternal souls and mermaids don't, they live 300 years then turn into sea foam & disappear with no afterlife. She says she'd give all her 300 years of life if she could have one day as a human and an eternal soul) they give her a chance to earn her soul as a daughter of the air so she can live in Heaven. She has to get children to do good deeds for 300 years before she can get her soul. For every good child she finds doing good deeds, she smiles and a year is reduced for her 300 years, and every bad child she finds doing bad deeds will make her shed tears and add a year to it.
So I guess he hoped the young children hearing the story would want to behave and do good things so the little mermaid could have a soul and make it to Heaven.
+Little Coyote Hans Christian Andersen wrote the version with the daughters of the air helping her to earn her soul. She still died and turned to form but they intervene when they see it happen.
Holy crap the actual Rapunzel story tho. That is some dark stuff right there.
How did repunzal get inpregnated
+TeboaPlays By the Prince, In the original story it has it where 'Mother Gothel' (I don't think she even had a name in the original story, she was an evil witch I think) climbs her hair up into the tower and Rapunzel stupidly asks her
"Why do my clothes no longer fit me?"
Gothel puts two plus two together and figures out what's been going on and that she's been having a visitor.
cha5 And then we have Stabby Stab Fun Time.
+cha5 thanks dat shit confused me before
Ng Shi Wei Bryan
Her mother impregnated her? :-/
"Mother Gothel, What a big **** you have!"
Must have missed that in the book.
I remember finding out about the classic Beauty and the Beast. In that version, Belle has two sisters who asked for jewelry, when her father asked Belle what she want he had to request multiple times until she said that she'll have two roses on a stem. He finds the first two requests with ease but he had to break into the beast's own place to get the roses. The father convinces the beast to let him go if Belle become his companion as payment next month, that time came and she moved into the beast's castle. In time they stayed in the same bed and eventually he asks her to marry him, she declines, he almost dies, and she saves him with crying on him. She accepts the proposal and they told her family to move in with them, the beast turns into his true form and the sisters gets mad drowning Belle for having such a handsome husband. Belle dies but the same witch who turned Prince Adam into the beast comes, brings Belle back, and turns her sisters into stones.
The actual story of the Snow Queen was adapted for Once Upon A Time
Yes!
+Paul Robison That's what I was saying! Except they used the "Shattered Sight" which makes everyone see the worst in the ones they love instead of everyone.
Ariella Denise
Which was awesome!! I love cerebral episodes like that.
hi hi
i didnt realize that, how?
Sleeping Beauty... HOLY CRAP! Who rights that evil stuff?!?! And then who says, "Hey - look at this demonically dark story - let's make a version for children!"?
Well some were written in really dark times
+Marlar House the original was meant for children
+Marlar House You know what's even more dark? Ther's a version in whitch the raping king is the father of the princess.
Daaaaaaang, ***** that is creepy!
They missed out half of the story where the Kings wife finds out, invites Sleeping Beauty and her children for a meal at their palace, she then kills them and feeds them to the king without him knowing
The one with Frozen reminds me a little bit about the first Narnia movie...
same
D:
+JesterMesterJulieTN Narnia was loosely based on it too
+Koneko Chan Narnia was meant to be a new bible adaption ... but ok
the lion the witch and the wardrobe is loosely based on the snow queen, but the Chronicles of Narnia is basically a retelling of the bible(sort of).
In my family we have a story of a woman who falls in love with a kind generous man. She soon gets bored of him and ends up cheating on him. The love triangle continues as the first man tries to share her, but she soon decides to marry her 2nd lover. The first man says that because he can no longer be with her he will kill himself and the church bells will ring merrily when his soul has departed. In the end while on a cliff overlooking the town the woman and her fiancee were visiting she heard the church Bells ring merrily knowing he has killed himself. She in turn flings herself off the cliff so his soul won't be alone. In reality he never killed himself and the church bells were ringing for his marriage to another woman.
whoa...now that should be made into a movie for adults lol
It could be. Its usually a story for kids around the ages of ten though. I think its an old Irish story though.
nice man
nice man really good story
If any of you have a copy one of my distant relatives included a similar(perhaps the exact original) version than the one my family tells. It's called "Lover's Leap" from the short anthology "Ghost Stories" by J.M.R Meagher. I'm pretty sure he's related through the Irish side of the family but I could be wrong.
Also, another thing about Rapunzel, in the real story, Rapunzel never meets her parents.
We just launched an animated channel for toddlers, if you have kids of your own or have kids around in your family make sure to show them Little Angel! Click here to check it out goo.gl/5h4iue
Screen Rant
Please do another one similar to this one and the one you recently done but with these Disney films!
- The Lion King (Hamlet)
- Tarzan
- Other Disney Stories
Ok
i
i have the "snow qween" book but it was God arguing with satan or the devil and the the mirror that the devil was going to trick God with smashed because God outsmarted the devil....
+Haryanto Widodo snow white
Some of these stories like the prince becoming blind and the step sisters cutting off parts of their feet were used in the movie "Into the Woods" if you didn't notice.
That is true watch Into The Woods and you will see that
+Dr. Universe agreeed!!! it was a great film though :D
+justin king lolno
So,
INTO THE WOODS actually tells the truth of Rapunzel and Cinderella?
i thought the same thing that movie is actually the truth OMG
ikr u just commented that
+Fungirl *I
+Vallexa✧ actually, yea
+Vallexa✧ Yeah. The original into the woods musical was written based on the original fairytales. For example, the original version of Little Red Riding Hood by Charles Perrault didn't include the huntsman at all. She was lured into her grandmother's bed naked and the wolf ate her (based on the French idiom "elle avoit vû le loup" (she has seen the wolf) meaning the girl has lost her virginity). Which is why Johnny Depp's wolf was so creepy in the movie.
The original story of Pinocchio is even darker than only Jimmy Cricket's death or the things shown in the film. In the story, he's already a bully to his father when he's not even done being made. Then he walks away from home, got strung up to a tree by the fox and the cat, wants to return home but gets captured by a farmer, when he turns into a donkey he changes back by being eaten by a group of fish. But luckily it does have a happy end 👍
I've only read the book and not watched the film. I assumed that all of that would have happen d in the film. I guess I was wrong...lol.
+sweetlittlejam I didn't see the film too and I find it kinda weird that Disney make their movie less dark than the original stories are, but the films still are quite dark for a little kid
Everyone refers back to the Brothers Grimm version of Cinderella, but they didn't write the original. They adapted it. I'm pretty sure no one really knows who first wrote it... Just thought I'd mention it cause I find it all very interesting :)
Actually the Brothers Grimm just wrote down and collected the stories that were told by the germans. So they didn't create any of the fairytails but wrote it down.
+Klumpenklotz I think they were censored after publicing.
+Melanie Anne Ahern I've seen a documentary about the "original"-original story about Cinderella in the past. It was really not exciting, just a story about a girl leave to the ball against her mothers order not to and return home some what after midnight
didn't it the Cinderella story originate in china
+Chris Vachris Yes it did, sorta. Many cultures have a variation of the Cinderella story. The Chinese version is the oldest variation of it ever written down.
That fucking thumbnail will haunt me forever man
Haunt? I don't know about you but it made me go searching some things up.
+JK193765 Any recemendations?
+JK193765 I don't know, Pulp Fiction made gag balls synonimous with rapey-torture to me forever
1. Someone deleted my 2nd comment.
2. They changed the thumbnail picture to demented Elsa.
What was it originally???
Geez...the Little Mermaid came a long way to become a kids film.
+Marco Melendres No shit!!!!
Xaviergray87 😂
It actually came a lot longer than this review mentions. H. C Andersen and his stories are from a time where people were far more devoted Christians than they are today. It is described that the merfolk did not have souls, and only by making a human fall in love with her could she share his soul beyond death. When she throws the knife away and becomes froth on the sea she sacrifces her chance of ever reaching heaven.
I don't know if the subsequent softening is actually a part of the original; after she feels her body dissolve to froth, her mind joins that of other soulless wanderers who have been given a chance of coming into heaven. She has to wander for a number of years visiting households with children. When she meets a nice and polite child x number of years is gaken of her wandering, but for every naughty child x additional years are added.
I watched the Hans Christian Anderson version when I was little! Then I watched the disney version later on and was disappointed, personally I preferred the darker tale.........
+xxVictoriaxx98 dark tales usually are better than the watered down stuff :\ Just look at Asian/European films and their American remakes.
That is cool. I am familiar with these examples. The Little Mermaid gets her tongue cut out by the sea witch when she transforms. You didn't mention that part. The rest of that you got down right. In my opinion, the original Snow Queen is not much darker than the Disney version. The Disney version had dead parents, a dying sister, lethal ice powers, PTSD, attempted regicide. There is probably more. I still love Frozen, and find it suitable for children however.
Lol
I hate everything about frozen.. Because Elsa was not "evil"
Ya
+4ever Aqua (4everAqua) I actually find that Elsa not being evil was a neat change to most disney princess movies... Because there is always a villain. In this, however, they characters aren't so much battling the antagonists, they're battling with their own fears and (on behalf of Anna) overcoming their naïve flaws (curse you, Hans, the only antagonist in this movie). Regarding Frozen, I really enjoyed it because of this despite all of the annoying publicity and children attempting to sing "Let it Go" day in and day out.
Parents didn't die
for sleeping beauty, you forgot the part where the king's wife finds out about his "little affair" and then takes sleeping beauty's two children and cooks them in stew and feeds it to her husband. so basically he ate his own children. when he found out, he died
Kat Lu Damn.....
+Kat Lu Not to mention, the only reason she even wakes up is not because of the labour, but because one of the hungry kids accidently sucks on her finger while searching for her tits.
+Kat Lu I think in some versions the wife (who is actually some sort of troll) asks her human cook to prepare the kids to eat them but he replaces them with lambs. Eventually the king finds out and has her burnt alive and marries Repunzel.
+Princess Buttercup Its sleeping beauty not rapunzel
Oh, yeah, you're right, haha. I get them mixed up.
Alice in Wonderland - written for/about Lewis Carroll's 14-yr old neighbour/niece who he was in love with... and wanted to lead her off to "wonderland"... The Rabbit who leads Alice "down the hole/into the wonderland" is Lewis himself. The sequel 'Through the Looking Glass' is MUCH darker.
+Vini Bhatt That's...creepy. My class read Alice in Wonderland and it was a good book.
+WinterGaming it is good if u take it at face value... if u read between thw lines its hella creepy
Well...
Time to buy the book and give myself nightmares!
+WinterGaming hehe
Cordelia Enid H We are not talking about underage in historical context...back in 1875, the "adulthood" started the second a girl got her first period, so anything between 10-16. Incest is still common in many parts of the world, even in my own community. It does NOT matter what the legality of consent is... ANYONE who has yet to attain puberty is a CHILD, and ANYONE who photographs nude children is a paedophile, irrespective of whether you love his work or art.
That said, the very fact that Alice was his niece/neighbour, and he had been around her since she was born, enhances the creep factor.
You should have included how The Hunchback of Notre Dame really ended in the book! :O
+Miming Cat Didn't both Quasimodo and Esmeralda end up dying?
And that's not even the shocking part! :/
I wanted to read the book, but I never got around to it
It's an awesome book. The movie left out Gringoire - who is an hilarious failed playwright. In the book Frollo is the priest, and he has a stupid brother called Jean. Phoebus doesn't love Esmeralda - he gets sick of her after one night. Oh, and Quasimodo is deaf. I don't want to spoil any more.
Well now it sounds really interesting. Guess I need to put it on the to read list.
these are all so interesting,I knew nothing about the darkness,dirty jokes or horror of all of this. It makes me think different about Disney
The thumbnail brought me here
The thumbnail brought everyone here.
+Robin Wuisan no I just like screen rant because I'm not a perv
+Robin Wuisan i noticed lol
+mthaxx 20 jhiqlalks/
my childhood has been ruined :c
I love Disney, but actually think some of the originals are better.
+Bella Jones i say the same thing
Yes I think so too
Agreed
I think most originals are better, but Disney is always making something that the kids can watch
+OurLifeAs MCG yeah... cause it's Disney....
Hercules. In the real mythological story of Hercules he's a demi god. Because his father is Zeus and his mother is mortal, Hera the goddess of Marriage and family as well as the wife of Zeus, despises him. When he's an infant she sends 2 serpants into his and his brothers crib to attempt to kill him. Later on in life Hera played with his mind so that when he saw his wife and two children he murdered them and bash their heads in. After he tried to kill himself (though he failed.) in the end there's a happy ending but most of the story is pretty brutal
+MsUnicornbitch no, there's no happy ending. hercules remarried with deianira but one day deianira was tricked by a centaur. he told her to put centaur's blood on hercules's clothes so he will love her more than anyone else. one day hercules came back from a trip with a slave girl. then he told deianira to prepare his best clothes so she figured that hercules is getting married with the slave girl. she put the centaur's blood all over his clothes. turns out that hercules was going to Zeus's temple. that's why he wore his best clothes. after he wore the clothes, his skin burnt and he died. deianira was depressed and she hung herself.
+nathania tanaya +msUnicornbitch You guys are also both forgetting that, after all of this, Hercules becomes a minor god, and unhappily lives the rest of his life guarding the Pillars of Hercules, and married to Hebe, whom he barely sees due to the fact that he is not allowed to leave his post for long periods of time. Oh! And that half-bull god he killed? He lives on the other side of the island, put there to torture him.
+Panic! At-the-TARDIS oh yeah I forgot
+Panic! At-the-TARDIS OK JUST SAYIN I LIKE YOUR NAME
I love Greek Mythology😂
I read the snow queen growing up and I am sorry but Frozen is not based off it they are completely different stories.
+Talk2Me It used to be but then they figured it was to dark and completely changed it. I saw one of the older trailers and it was based of it. Then they made the mistake of changing it and now it's just....Frozen.
Yeah I know that, they were gonna make elsa evil but the decided to change it so now it is not based of the snow queen. And even before that it was only loosely based off it.
Yeah I heard about that in the "making of frozen" program when elsa was going to be evil but they didn't want it to be like every other Disney movie so they changed it to them being sisters
Ya, frozen would have been so much better if they had kept the original
No I am glad they did not. The snow queen should be done but a animation very close to the original story.
In the movies Into The Woods the one about Cinderella did happen the toes thing and eyes
Same with Rapunzel
I was about to write that!
+Beth and Chloe Music I was going to say that too
I was gonna say that lol
the ponocio
misbehaved KIDS were turned into donkeys
I'm surprised people don't know this. In Germany we know most of this since we were little. Do americans only know fairy tales because of Disney?
Grimm sind viel besser als Disney.
Finde ich auch
+Nether Rack I wonder that too, and I'm a Chinese ffs, I hear these "Western" fairy tales since I was a kid, yet I know so many people from US or France don't know these at all, not only because of Disney, because their children's books get edited out the "dark part".
+Bytional I'm American and I'll be the first to agree. The kids' books and stuff we get are pretty watered down and most don't find out about the real tales behind the Disney versions for years unless 1)They have the original and have read it before they seen the movie or 2)their parents want them to know where Disney got their story from before it was given the Disney treatment. Even Brave Little Toaster got the treatment but it was a bit different, the new stuff in the master's new home weren't evil at all and were actually rather helpful, but in the end the old appliances found a new home with a new master. So Disney actually added some darker elements to that one.
+Nether Rack No, we are not all brought up innocent. I grew up knowing both versions, but my family spends most of our time reading books.
I actually grew up on these and knew almost all of them already. Is that weird?
It's not weird. I got them told by my parents when I was like six years old.
A little... Then your parents just did not really care if you had nightmares or not. But when I was younger I only knew the Cinderella and hansle and Greatle ones.
+Anime Animal umh, your comment seemed very rude of course my parents care about me wtf. Why wouldn't they. And why the hell would I get nightmares from that. The original stories are very common in Sweden and nearly all of my friends have heard of them. Omg I got so pissed of by your comment. You seem like a very stupid person. Sorry ":)"
+Palogre I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one :)
Hanna Lönnqvist it was not supposed to be rude... but i'm sorry if it did seem rude, i'm sorry if i offended you. I am kind of stupid when it comes to social stuff.
I already read the Tangled Story Book thing when I was in 1st Grade, Didn't think it was that dark.
OMG this sleeping beauty real story is soooo depressing!
A passing king rapes the sleeping woman... Why would a king rape a woman he found randomly?
***** STDs
+kokoybaga thanks
+Est. 1985 you're disgusting.
+Est. 1985 that is so disgraceful to any woman or man who has ever been raped. Normalising rape is so harmful. Please don't make jokes about it
+Xtreme Games At the time, there was a law in England called the Rights of First, which said that the king had the rights to have sex with any bride on her wedding night, before the groom.
In Scandinavia at the same time, there was a law stating if you managed to capture an unwed woman and hold her for 20 days, she became your wife. That was called the Rights of Keeping.
Those were not nice times for women. Most places of the world had laws like that, and many places still do.
The tangled story explains the movie into the woods
+Zennia Macedonio as well as the cinderella story in into the woods
into the woods describes lots of the stories such as the original Cinderella and that
Ya in "Into the Woods" the prince finds Cinderella and her sisters got their toes cut off and birds end up making them blind. Lovely, isn't it?
+Brian Swift *bchnguhtyfybd
What funny sarcasm. 😓
Elsa and Anna has something from "The Devil"!!! Even Ariel,Sleeping Beauty,rapunzel,Cinderella,Snow White,and more!! That's a fame
what about the best Disney tale of all, Transformers!
+KJaems LMAO!!!!! You're kidding, right?!?!?
so much NOISE
Turning cameras, explosions and Shia Just do it Beouff that's every Disney film
that just made my day :D
And star wars
So the Frozen-characters weren't just a gang of bdsm slaves?
I was hoping they were lol
+Mursukorva2 according to fan fics they are....
+Mursukorva2 Not according to the fan-fics.
they are bfdi
+Mursukorva2 frozen is a piece of garbage
Why is it when people talk about The Little Mermaid ending, they always leave out the real ending?
Yes she jumps into the sea and turns to foam, but she also ascends as an ethereal spirit and told she can earn a real soul and then rise up into the Kingdom of God as a reward for her selflessness.
Its actually a good moral story to teach to kids about being selfless... but lets just ignore the actual ending right just to make it sound worse then it really is.
Steve Perrin *aplause*
Steve Perrin are your fingers hurting after typing that
Hahahhahahahhhahha
TheMinecraftSiblings No, why would they?
I knew about the ending before watching this video cause my aunt gifted me the grim brothers' fairy tale .
why did my aunt gifted me the book and why did I watch this video . my whole life is ruined .
😭😭😭😭
Steve Perrin HC Anderssen added that ending later on. The original ending just ends with her death.
OH FUCK WHY MY CHILDHOOD IS RUINED!!!! WHY DID I WATCH THIS???
im just nine and thats so messed up
I'm 9 lol and my childhood is not riund
Same😢
suck it up princess
+Barney Isadinosaur no stop the retarded princesses
The real stories are actually now in a movie called "into the woods". yay.
+Veeti Forsström Some at least
+Veeti Forsström yup.
I know except they aren't the full true stories
+Veeti Forsström And the movie is based on the musical Into the woords.
:3
I knew a few but MAN some of these get dark.
+Ava Akkad The dark should be forgotten so people can get on with their lives.
Screen Rant! I have another dark one. PETER PAN by J.M. Barrie (novel version, not the play).
In the original version, Peter Pan is not just mischievous; he's a downright narcissist, sadist, murderer, and rapist even. He likes to trick boys to come over to Neverland, and then subject them to near death experiences for "fun", sometimes killing them in the process. He also sends any Lost Boys to their deaths or murders them if they appear to be "growing up". He hates adults, especially mothers, to the point that he imagines killing them "as vindictively as fast as possible", because he doesn't like them ruining his fun. Yet, he himself would want a mother's love (selfish as he is). So in comes Wendy. When he gets Wendy to be mother of the Lost Boys, while they were alone, he raped her. He also continued to abduct all her female descendants to Never Land later on (obsessed with her, much??). As if that wasn't enough, if he was absent long enough from anyone, he would forget who they are, what happened to them or that they even existed! This means whatever wrongdoings he's done to any of the children he brought to Neverland is often wilfully wiped out of his memory!
Tinker Bell is also way more vindictive in the original than depicted in the Disney version. She got one of the Lost Boys to shoot the "bird" down (Wendy) with an arrow and actually nearly got her killed when she fell from the sky. She showed no remorse for her actions and continued to torment Wendy by bullying, pinching and biting her throughout her stay in Neverland.
Neverland is not entirely a happy place either, considering that deaths can occur, by pirates, the natives, or otherwise. Hook actually nearly succeeded in killing Peter by clawing him with his hook.
Dark enough?
+ChristmasCarolyn that was interesting
and here i even had a little crush on peter pan (movie version) well guess i'm over it now. XD
+yatchi lucio The Peter Pan in Disney world is pretty hot ;)
And btw, peter pan is my favourite Disney movie so this is pretty disheartening :/
+Janna Blevins and mine be The Little Mermaid. My heart broke after finding out what really happened to her. She doesn't deserve such an ending! Author is cruel, much! D8>
Woah the Frozen/Snow Queen idea was used in Once Upon A Time !
i know this is pixar but why does noone question that in the incredibles they show a man committing suicide?
+Dannie Spokes bcoz The Incredibles is an original story, not a romanticized version based off an old classic.
Vini Bhatt but its meant to be for kids mainly
!!! REALLY!?
Dannie Spokes So? this video is talking about movies where bad/dark and moral-worthy stories were changed to "happy and romantic"... They are NOT talking about movies which are targeted towards kids and have very real life situations like people growing old and dying, or men committing suicide.
+princess light moon yeah the guy that jumps off the tall building and Mr. Incredible gets sued for saving the guy's life.
Some of this was in "Into the Woods"
That's true. The fate of Cinderella's stepsisters from Into the Woods is from the source material.
Wasn't the little mermaid meant to be a love story between the author and this man he loved but after he got rejected by him he changed it?
The sleeping beauty one was very BRUTAL
50 shades of sleeping beauty
I need that thumbnail! Where is it?
+Máté Vajda Ctrl+u > Ctrl+f > search og:image > copy the .jpg
ItsCestial
I know, but it's really small.
+Máté Vajda I speak of a dark and mystical realm called Rule 34. Be wary traveller for great pleasure or great revulsion is only ever a click away.
+Máté Vajda Its at darude sandstorm
+Máté Vajda i.ytimg.com/vi/UPdaEH9lles/maxresdefault.jpg should be 1280*720
90% of the viewers watched it because the picture
I've always wondered why they chose such ORIGINALLY DARK stories to turn into life's films. There are plenty of others.
If I was haunted by every bug I've ever killed, godamm
4:48
*never watches sleeping beauty again*
Into the woods' Cinderella and Rupunzel storylines are more accurate
That movie was also so confusing that I literally needed to be drunk to even enjoy it.
Whoaaa, I think I gotta read some fairytales-books !! Didn't know all that!
the last 1 was discusting
Wait the snow queen is just Desmond in Narnia?
Kind of, I think Desmond was inspired by that.
Giulia Bertacchi Me too
no it's not bitch
The first Lion King can easily been seen as World War II. The whole story can be switched into the aspect of Scar being Hitler and the Hyenas the Nazi party. Theres other aspects of it that is really comparable. Most evidently when Scar is giving a huge speech to his army of Hyenas looking upon them and they are doing the goose-step in which all of the Nazi's marched in.
Im not saying it's based off of WWII. I'm just saying, it's changed the way I look at the movie if you think about it.
+TrolI Slayer The closest thing one could relate Lion King to would probably be Hamlet. Scar is the primary villain, with the desperate hungry Hyenas living in the dark thorny wilderness off from the African plains, where the noble hierarchical system of the circle of life, headed by our heroes, the lions, reside. And Scar's leadership of the hyenas is rather comparable to Hitler's fascist grasp on a downtrodden bitter Germany.
Really though you could just as easily compare the early Star Wars movies to Nazi Germany too. A lot of movies hold the theme of fascism, of which Nazi Germany is seen as the face of. So an indirect association.
And simba and the lions are the Brits and the allies (I put Brits first cause I'm one)
+Bob Jenkins Lion King was based on Hamlet. Disney recreated Hamlets story. So thats why its so similar.
Lion king was my favourite movie... WHY WOULD U DO THAT!! Jk but I don't really like the movie anymore lol
+TrolI Slayer "Grimm" is German for an intense feeling of anger, by the way, but the surname "Grimm" comes from Middle High German "grim(me)" which means unfriendly or wild. Yeah, pretty accurate. :D
This are the versions which I grew up with :)) All my books had this versions instead of the cute ones :))
THAT LAST ONE THOUGH...
But, it's not possible is it?
How can she give birth when she's asleep?
just like peeing when you're asleep
BadBoy_____17 True XD
It doesn't matter if the women is asleep. If the body is ready to give birth it'll give birth. And honestly she probably woke up right before giving birth and experienced the whole thing.
+Matthew Villarreal In the story she wakes up after the birth, when one of her childeren sucks on her finger
+Undercoverkiwi Hahaha, because that's logic, you don't wake up when you're giving birth, but you do wake up when your child sucks on your finger. But well, it's a fairy tale.
I grew up with the original brothers Grimm fairytales, as most German kids so I guess. we're traumatized form an early age 😆
do*
+Nanashi Neko idk if they were the Grimm fairy tales but i grew up with similar dark stories about the princesses. I never saw the Disney versions till i was a teenager because i couldn't stand the books. Idk why but actual the original Thumbalina has always freaked me out, also i would always skip the last part of Cinderella, only read until she gets home from the ball, i think its because i have always had very sensitive feet so if i read about peaple cuting of their toes i would have nightmears about it.
The little mermaid tho😩😩got me crying
The original "Snow Queen" story has been made into a movie and omg it's amazing you have to see it
I already knew this. This was in into the woods
That was kind of creepy
بعلل
Angelina Tips 4 Kids I KNOW
Anyone think they are running out of ideas
No, this was pretty interesting
No matter what they do, people like you will always ask the same question "Are they running out of ideas" like stfu
Wrong channel go to "watch mojo"
+brayden kitchener lol this isn't watch mojo
+daniel gindin Or buzzfeed
Did you read "An Underground Education: The Unauthorized and Outrageous Supplement to Everything You Thought You Knew Ab out Art, Sex, Business, Crime, Science, Medicine, and Other Fields of Human"? Love this book. Reminds me of what you are doing here.
wtf is that thumbnail
a thumbnail
elsa and anna fanfiction
I was thinking the frozen gang were into SDM... How disappointing it was only click bait lol
I mean S&M
It is a picture you see before clicking on the video.
you forgot about beauty and the beast how could you forget that have you not heard the end of the original beauty and the beast because it's pretty dark
What is the original ending
Yeah what is it?
+Devon RoseRed the original story is a russian fairy-tale called 'The crimson flower' and it has no dark ending, the story is the same.
+KatherineGreyhunter have you heard the end of the story because you haven't and it's not the same
+Devon RoseRed it appears neither have you as you aren't even saying what it is.
Frozen- Hans Kristen Anderson? (I don't know how it's spelled)
HANS?
KRISTOFF?
ANNA?
SVEN?
WTF
The sleeping beauty one wasn't dark but just really sad. She had children without knowing, her "husband" left her, AND her children most likely grew up being told that their mom was dead.
that just ruined my childhood
is it weird that most Disney princesses have blonde hair and blue eyes?
I don't think so... Snow White, Tiana, Pocahontas, Jasmine, Belle and Mulan to name a few who don't.
XxSilentRosexX Cindrella and Rapunzel are the only official Disney princesses to possess those two "stereotypical princess" traits. Disney got mix-raced princesses with different origins and appearances: Tiana, Snowwhite, Belle, Mulan, Aurora, Jasmine, Ariel...
0:16
"Brutally killed"? l=/
She got kicked like one time and died. What are you talking about? XD
And it's kind of strange that people use dark as if darkness is scary, evil, or unnatural. But there's no need to be afraid of the dark, and it is not a negative or unnatural thing. I never could understand it why some people do that. =/
This is just a philosophical thought, but if darkness has been around ever since the beginning of everything before anything else, is all around us, and there is even inside of us (I imagine it gets pretty dark inside of our bodies. I don't think we have light bulbs inside of us), isn't darkness one of the most natural and non-evil things out there? =o
And night time is actually one of the most peaceful times for most people. It's when we rewind, recharge, and heal. Can't people just say what they mean? Could have easily said "grim" there, you know. l=/
But there is nothing wrong with a little bit of seriousness and edginess. The world is not all silliness and giggles you know. Showing the hardships and some of the grim things helps prepare and teach people how to deal with and overcome hardships. If we continue to shield away from such things, it will raise us all to not be able to really handle hardships or bad things life throws our way. Plus those original stories sounded kind of awesome. l=D
I've read a bunch of the originals before already, so none of these came as a surprise except for the one about the evil queen from Snow White.
