Yo Trashers! Frozen, the Lion King, Aladdin, Disney is pure dream for children. Or not.
Did you know that behind those movies, some real tales are hidden? But not your cute and gentle one, rather one telling about ultra-violence, morbid sex and bad thoughts. Disney got inspired by real and actual stories for grown-ups.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Snow White, her dwarves, her apple and her beloved Prince. Except that on the beginning, this story is a famous tale by the Grimm brothers. In which the bad woman tries to kill Snow White three times: The first by hanging her with a lace node, The second by poisoning her through a comb hair, And eventually, the well-known APPLE MOVE.
She is not awaken by the kiss of a prince but by… the dwarves. But thankfully not by an orgy-mode. Actually they will bury her, accidentally dropping her coffin -cringe moment indeed-, and this way making her fall out, and spit out the apple piece.
Less romantic now is it not? And concerning the witch, she will suffer! Oh yeah she will.
To punishment, the king will make her wear metal shoes heated to white. And with them, she will have to dance until death follows. Rapunzel Definitely, the stories about princesses are not as funny as we think.
Rapunzel is also inspired by the Grimm brothers who kept their hardcore style! In the Disney movie, Rapunzel gets captured for her magic hair. In the tale, she is sold to the witch.
Some loving parents. And for the prince, he comes to see her in secret in her yard. The witch notices it and pushes him from the top of the tower.
He falls in the blackberries, his face gets lacerated and his eyes broken. But wait! The most glaucous part is yet to come!
Being blind, the prince will spend several years without finding his way, helplessly wandering in the forest, seeking for his beloved one! One day, he hears her sing and uses her voice to guide himself. By seeing him, Rapunzel starts to cry with joy, and by falling into the prince’s bruised eyes, her tears heals his view.
They take then the decision of running away together, away from this prison, with their 2 children. Wait. .
. Children! ?
Mulan Aaaaah Mulan, my favourite Disney movie! It is inspired by chinese legends which itself comes from an old poem called ‘’The Ballad of Mulan''. Here, they tell us she is the daughter of an army officer, that she also has two sisters and that she is already well trained by his father to military arts.
We even learn that she goes to war WITH the agreement of her father and not behind his back like in the cartoon. She will spend 12 years hiding her feminity, 12 years of good and loyal services during which she will prove by her intelligence and bravery that she is an INDISPENSABLE element for the army. She illustrates on the battlefield so much that the emperor himself will come to offer her the grade of minister.
Mulan is a proof that women are equal to men, and can even surpass him. All's well that ends well. .
. HAHA IF ONLY, but our story does not end here! Mulan refuses and asks as reward a horse to come back home, leaving behind glory and wealth.
And obviously, before leaving, she carefully make everyone understand she is a woman! But only little issue: the emperor, seduced by her beauty and her daring, starts to court her; and that quite clumsily. Mulan refuses all of his advances for a while, but the emperor was really stubborn!
Insomuch that Mulan fell into a depression and ends… taking her own life. . .
Pocahontas Pocahontas, from her real name Matoaka, appears in the autobiography of the real John Smith -who is a real fellow, he actually existed- and in which he relates his adventure in the new world. The two stories are quite similar, except on some points. The big difference is the relation between them two.
If in the Disney movie, they live a love story, John was 27 years old and Pocahontas was… 12. John Smith will tell in his letters that she loved him, she helped him, she struggled against her tribe who wanted the death of the colonists… The historical reality is she was a prisoner of the colonists. She was forcefully married and brought to England where she will die painfully, leaving behind her a 2 years old son.
Peter Pan And here we start a big piece. Peter Pan, as it was written by James Matthew Barrie. And damn, it is sick!
Even if the cartoon the story remains the same, the devil hides in the details. Peter Pan is not simply someone who refuses to grow up: he has real mental issues. He is a child abandoned by his mother refusing to grow up, who brings other children into his imaginary world before killing them when they get too old.
This horrific version of the tale is somehow a metaphor about life itself, the author said. Barrie lost his older brother in an ice skating accident when they were kids, and her mother plunged into insanity, totally neglecting him. In order to protect himself for the drama surrounding him, he withdrew into himself and remained a child in his head to attenuate the pain.
Ironically, the protagonist of his work game the name of his sickness: the Peter Pan syndrome. Sleeping Beauty I have the feeling that you will love this one. The Sleeping Beauty starts the same way in both works: the Disney’s one and the Giambattista Basile’s one.
The princess is victim of a poisoning that plunged her into a deep slumber. A beautiful and valorous princes then arrives to awake her with a deep loving kiss. Except that after that, he rapes her.
It is only 9 months after that the beauty awakes, right after having given birth. The children get out on their own, go to get fed on the breast, and one of them will suck the finger of the princess, retiring her the poisoned thorn. Well, a little gore I admit, but it ends well.
She is awaken, she has children, and her husband is a prince… Oh. Oh no. The real prince’s wife orders to kill the children of the beauty, and then to serve them as meal for the prince.
Who rapes the dead. Nice. The Hunchback of Notre-Dame I think you are starting to know the drill.
And once again, the Victor Hugo’s novel is far from offering a happy ending the Walt Disney way. Little reminder: in the movie, the story ends with the kiss between Esmeralda and captain Phoebus. Quasimodo gets friendzoned, yeah, not cool, but at least… no death.
Well, except Frollo, but since he is the bad guy, no one cares. And for the book, it is far from being so happy: Esmeralda ends hanged, Quasimodo steals her decaying corpse, brings it in the Paris’ caves and let himself die, holding her in his arms. As far as we know, he may very well have not died as a virgin… Cinderella In the Disney movie, the wicked stepmother is quite hardcore.
She slaps Cinderella, locks her in her chamber, sorry, er closet, AND forces her to do all the drudgeries of the house. But it is NOTHING in comparison with the original version, once again from the Grimm brothers. You certainly remember the scene in which the prince makes try the glass slipper to all the young ladies of the realm.
In the Disney movie, Cinderella’s sisters try, without success, to make their feet fit in the shoe. It does not work, and of the line, and Cinderella can try. EXCEPT THAT, in the Grimm’s tale, they REALLY want to marry the prince, at the point where they even CUT one of their toes to fit in the slipper.
And the worst part about this, more than REKT their feet, is that they will get their faces shredded by those gentle blue birds. Well, okay, they are total BITCHEEES, but I am not sure they deserved that. The Little Mermaid In the original story written by Andersen, Ariel is 15 and saves a prince from drowning, and falls in love with him right after.
Except that she is not here when he wakes up, and falls in love with another woman just passing by. Ariel gets mad and goes to see Ursula to have legs in exchange for her voice. Well, her tongue, actually.
Second problem: her legs are not fine, and each step inflicts a terrible pain. And third problem, if the prince gets married, she dies. No luck, that is what will happen.
The only solution for her is to stab the prince. But she is in love. .
. She still prefers the suicide, and throws herself in the sea, which turns her into foam. Pinocchio I’d better tell you now, you.
are. not. prepared.
Let me tell you that the original story as it was written by Carlo Collodi is by far the WORST of all! The time of the adorable, sweet and innocent wooden puppet is over. Here, Pinocchio is a real dick.
For example, the first thing he will do when given life will be to make fun of Gepetto’s physical shape! Worse: he will kill Jiminy Cricket in the first pages of the book! And wait, Gepetto ain’t a good guy either: alcoholic and mistreating children.
He will be arrested, and from now on, the descent into hell will start. Pinocchio will be burnt, beaten, HUMILIATED, and even stabbed. And the icing in the cake is a terrible morals.
Pinocchio finds death hanged by his worst enemies, as an ultimate proof that a child should NEVER disobey. We told you: the Disney movies which made us dream as children hide many secrets. In the end, it is not that bad they took the decision to rearrange them to make them watchable by everyone.
The violence did not bring anything to the morals of the stories. Well, between you and me, show to your friends the real Disney’s face please. Let us traumatize them together: I did this video for that, do not hesitate to share it.
