Snow White and the Seven Dwarves: Letting someone stay in your house who literally just broke in and marrying a guy you barely know at the end.
The Sleeping Beauty: Necrophilia.
Peter Pan: Following an stranger to an unknown land. (Ironically with Peter Pan in the original source material Peter Pan even kills kids who would get older).

That's Disney for ya. What happiness and magic that must be! :D
That's because they get their ideas from old fairy tales. :drshrug:

And wait until you read the originals if you think the Disney-fied versions are bad.

Oh I know otherwise if they actually followed the source material they would come to be.

Pinocchio: Kills Jiminy Cricket with a mallet.
Pocahontas: Dies of disease.
Hunchback of Notre Dame: Quasimodo cradling Esmeralda's corpse eventually starving himself to death. Years later, their skeletons are found and are crumbled to dust.
Hercules: Driven to madness by Hera and murders his wife Megara and his children.

I mean, depending on whether you choose the original or the inspiration, Cinderella was either quite vanilla or very gruesome.

According to some stories of Mulan. She apparently committed suicide at the end.

Most stories however goes she just eventually retires and lives the rest of her life in peace.

They're all made by Disney so they're all bad, actually

I usually consider Perrault's version the default, which is quite tame.

But that story is so archaic that you can track it down to Ancient Greece so who knows what is the "original".

The original Ballad of Mulan is just a short poem, tbf. There's not much room for anything other than "she went to war, fought good, declined government position, returned to her home".

Disney is actually great at attention to detail. They took Aladdin being orientalist right from the source material.

I love how many old movies are "it's good if you ignore the racist".
A lot of old movies especially some of the Disney classic animated features had several scenes that did not aged very well as of today for example, the birds in Dumbo, the Siamese cats in Lady and the Tramp, the negative stereotype representation of native Indians in Peter Pan.

That's because they get their ideas from old fairy tales. :drshrug:

The original versions of the fairy tales had either something strange or consist of something rather dark like you had said:


EDIT: Here is the second part of the video in case anyone is interested.

At least Disney and many others decided to change the adaption their fairytale films.

Most of my coworkers are around my age and are pretty much used to my wacky shenanigans and I made it very clear to them that if it annoys them they should tell me

Pokémon Infinity just went from 0 to 1000 in the story.

The plot is crazy for this game. Definitely worth playing if you enjoy fan games.

Apparently the Brother Grimms version had adapted something rather dark that involve the consequences of Cinderella's step sisters.

Anyways, has anyone ever heard of "Bluebeard?"

Yep. Read it as a kid in a children's book if you believe it.

Yep. Although mostly from reading about Gilles de Rais, who has been credited as one of the inspirations behind Bluebeard, despite him not killing any wives.

It's harder in the fact the Gym Leaders actually use better strats and it's tough at the start but it's still a Pokemon game. None of them are hard if you have a good team and coverage.
