The motivations in some of those fairy tales has often seemed a little suspect to me …
If you like today's toon, won't you click the "like" button up on your Google reader? Believe it or not, "liking" it does a TON for helping Nicky get the attention he needs. And if you really want to go crazy, you can give it a Digg or SU.
Fairy tales are scary when over-analised… The princess and the frog…. Not only is she completely insane (since she can hear a frog talk), as she makes out with it. O_o
And I wont even comment abour little red riding hood. If filmed, when the "hero" guts the wolf, to remove the wowen from his bowel, and replace them with stones…… Well.. I think it would be easily pg18. O_o
Fairy tales are scary if told correctly!
In a rare case, the Brothers Grimm actually made Sleeping Beauty less horrible, since their version didn't involve the princess only waking up when she gave birth to the two kids the prince *ahem* "left" her with.
wow… never looked at it from nickey's point of few.
HE OPEND MY EYES!!!
I actually prefer the Grimm's versions to the over-sanitized Disney crap. They just seem more believable (Grimm's) and Disney's way too saccharine sweet.
It's the same way with the real story of Cinderella. Her step-mother and step-sisters weren't just kept from hers and the prince's wedding, but their eyes were plucked out and eaten by birds, and when the sisters tried on the glass slipper one had to cut off her heel and the other had to cut off/break her toes (depending on which you are reading) just to fit their foot into it. Very gruesome, but definitely more interesting.
As Terry Pratchett put it, "It's those little details that tell you it's a story for kids."

I will never be able to watch another Disney movie again.
Well, if you want to get picky, Snow White never actually ate the apple in the original. She choked on it and fell unconscious. Then, as the Prince was taking her away from the dwarves (rank hath it's privilege), one of his servants dropped the head of the coffin, jarring the apple loose.
guess he’s into necrophilia
