Walt Disney True Stories
WALT DISNEY TRUE STORIES
People believed for many years, that Walt Disney became famous because of the stories that his company had created, but actually many of the stories are adaptations from books from the 19th century.
Snow White, The Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella and Pinocchio are among the stories that Disney immortalized in movies, and he was very lucky because children decided to believe in their renovated stories rather than wonder about the origins. The irony is that most of the stories in which movies are based, are everything but childish.
A classic story, one of the most important, is Snow With and the Seven Dwarfs, due to numerous recent adaptations we discovered that the horrible queen is actually a lot meaner than what we saw on 1937. The queen was obsessed with beauty and Snow White was the fairest of the kingdom just like in the movie. Disney took a huge risk when he decided to include in his story that the queen sent the huntsman to kill Snow White and she wanted her heart as prove of her death. This is nothing compared with the true story, where the queen actually wants the lungs and liver of the girl with the intentions of cooking it and serving it for dinner that night. That way the king would eat his own daughter without knowing it.
The Sleeping Beauty is another hideous example, in the original version, Aurora is cursed by Maleficient. The girl would prick her finger with a spinning wheel at the age of 16, but she doesn’t wake up with the kiss of a charming prince. She wakes up as a little boy sucks her finger and extracts the needle that had kept her sleeping for so many years, when she wakes up she realizes there is a king, a very old king next to her bed and two little boys, her sons. The king had found the young girl, stole her form the tower, took her to his castle and raped her in her sleep.
The little mermaid is without question one of the most frightful and sad examples, to start with, Ursula was a lot
