TThat in the origunal fairy tales, everything was f---ed up by the brothers Grimm, the creators of it? In one of them a princess got raped at some point. I think that was sleeping beauty. Here is the original story of Rapunzel:
One day, a prince climbs into Rapunzel's tower and falls in love with her. When Dame Gothel finds out, she lures the prince to the tower by cutting off Rapunzel's hair and dangling it out the window (this is Rapunzel and the prince's not-so-subtle signal. Like the Bat-Signal. But, like, even less subtle.) When the prince is confronted by Dame Gothel and not Rapunzel, he jumps from the tower and lands on the thorns below and is immediately blinded. And that's why you don't break your fall with your eyes. -

And here is snow white:
The biggest difference between the Disney movie and the original Brothers Grimm's fairy tale is the Evil Queen's punishment. When the Evil Queen arrives at Snow White and Prince Charming's wedding, Snow White punishes her step-mother by forcing her to wear hot iron shoes and dance until she dies. Do you think Snow White made her dance to Cotton-Eyed Joe? Or Cha-Cha slide? -
And Pocahontas:
This is the only Disney princess movie based on a true story. It is also the most distorted story. After John Smith returned to England, Pocahontas was kidnapped for a while during which she converted to Christianity and married John Rolfe. Years later, she visited London and was exhibited as an example of a "civilized" Native America. Before she could return home, she died of unknown causes. Worst of all, though, there were absolutely no accounts of Pocahontas frolicking with an endearing raccoon or a talking tree. NONE. -
And mulan:
The original story is a ballad called Hua Mulan. In the ballad, Mulan returns home happy and safe. However, an addition to the original ballad, Sui Tang Yanyi, ends with Mulan returning home to find her family has fallen apart. Her only option is to become a concubine. She commits suicide instead. I guess Mushu couldn't intervene and find her a better job than sex slave. -
And the little mermaid:
In Hans Christian Anderson's Little Mermaid, the bargain with Ursula is the same. Except the detail that walking on her new feet is incredibly painful for Ariel. And the stipulation that Prince Eric must fall in love with Ariel or she will die. Despite all of the painful dancing Ariel does for his enjoyment, Prince Eric falls in love with and marries another girl. Ariel dies and dissolves into sea foam. Did I mention Ariel is 15 years old? -
And the jungle book:
In Rudyard Kipling's collection of short stories The Jungle Book, Mowgli never adjusts to village life because, uh, he was raised by wolves. (He's probably sexually attracted to wolves, not human girls. Kipling doesn't explicitly say this, but we can assume.) Also, Kipling wrote that Mowgli was 11 years old and naked when he fought a tiger. -
I saw all of this s--- on Pinterest.
