Anyone a Myths and Legends podcast fan? They have excellent accurate tellings of these stories.
AConvenientSwarmofBees
#9 actually has a happy ending. The original here is a version written hundreds of years later.
alchemist23
Disney gives no fucks about anyone's stories or copyright but its own. Ever heard of Kimba? Or the Mickey Mouse Protection Act?

Beauty and the Beast (Brazzers version): The Beast ends up eating her.
heRapesButHeSaves
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauty_and_the_Beast Beast never eats Beauty
TheCrimsonFukr
In defense of #2, I also ate my wife on our wedding night...
HelviNoodleWatcher
Not to be a downer but the Disneg version of Rapu sel she didn't cut her own hair. EUGENE tricked her and cut it with a mirror shard. 1/2
HelviNoodleWatcher
Rapsunel's hair was both her greatest gift and her greatest curse. It allowed her to help people at the cost of her freedom.
adoginlove
In the original story of "The Beauty and the Beast," isn't that supposed to happen? Husband eating his wife out?
chakaru111
Oh my GOD so many of these are just plain WRONG you should be ashamed. Have you even read half of these?
GyroPunk
John Smith didn't rape Pocahontas, she also chose to convert to Christianity and willingly stayed and married an English tobacco farmer. 1/2
GyroPunk
Don't give some bullshit story to make it more Interesting, was it the happy Disney version, no, but don't go around calling ppl rapists

Ariel feels as if every step she takes is like 1000 cuts to her feet. And she still walks up a fucking mountain. She turns into sea foam
BaleZur
#2, but--doesn't everybody do that? I mean you know, with the whole "married" thing and being legally enforced to only--eat--your spouse?
notasinglenamewasthoughtof
Flynn cuts Rapunzel's hair to free her from gothel in the Disney version
Zherqua7r
ARE YOU LORE?!
Lynne22
In Original Repunzel, her magic tears heal his blindness.
MissSiesta
Snow white: in the original, it's not her stepmother, but actual mother that's queen (and trying to kill her)
mauryfeldman
Woah! The Pocahontas "true" portion is almost entirely BS.
KainKaiser
The Mulan one is wrong. The 'she was forced to join the harem' wasn't added until some 100+ years later. The original one ends with her (1)
WarpPad
I also read up that theres a version where she became a decorated general and retired with all this awesome land
KainKaiser
coming back home to her family. The one Shang is based on never finds out she's a female until she's returned home.
honeybunnyy
The Mulan "original" is not the original. Basically: Mulan originally took place during Khan rule. They also never found out she was a girl.
MarkusZ91
she fought for 12 years right? and then returned home IIRC
honeybunnyy
Yes I believe so! Around 10-12 years I think? I can't quite remember what the poem said exactly off the top of my head haha
truk77
Yeah, sounds like that paraphrase of the original Beauty and the Beast is bullcorn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauty_and_the_Beast
truk77
Now, the original Sleeping Beauty...that's some craziness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun,_Moon,_and_Talia
Happyrexmanningday
Oh it has a happy ending! I really wasn't expecting that. Thanks for sharing!
ThingExplainer
This thing's been reposted enough times, someone should have corrected the misspellings of "Rapnuzel" and "Cindarella" by now.
DaltonMcBleh
Yeah, the correct spelling is Cillerenda
CarInAVet
And the fact that some of these are flat out wrong.
Zaranthan
That would require, like, effort.
thegarlicawakens
It also requires more pixels.
myr14d
Some of these are true, but many of these are either wrong, not actually the original version, or paraphrasing poorly. (details in replies)
ohnocatnado
As a folklore and fairy tale enthusiast, please have all of these upvotes on your corrections.
myr14d
#2: Flat out not true. This what her jealous sisters in the original story hoped would happen. It didn't.
LaceyStarrCrombie
Yeah I've NEVER heard of a version where he eats her.
myr14d
#8: The original has a happy ending. The ending mentioned here is a variation written a thousand years afterwards.
myr14d
#4: True, but Rapunzel's tears upon his return restores his sight.
myr14d
#5: She was not raped by John Smith. Ever. She was however captured at one point and may have been raped. She was not kidnapped, (1/2)
myr14d
She married an englishman, and died during her trip back to England with him. (She did however, die young at 21)
Thelibrarianchick
She married John Rolf and they had one son named Thomas, and she is buried in England I believe?
myr14d
#1: Purgatory is a good thing the original story - Ariel by her act of sacrifice actually earns herself a soul.
padmeamidalaa
I thought she turned into seafoam?
myr14d
Sea foam = death. But she got a soul so she went to purgatory instead of just ceasing to exist.
somestuffnjunk
She had the choice to kill him and turn into an air spirit or kill herself and turn into seafoam. So she jumps into the sea.
myr14d
#6 and #7 are accurate. Note however that for Hercules, the death of his family is actually the start of his 12 labors story.
samxbuttonsx
And also the inspiration for Kratos in God of War, no?
DaltonMcBleh
Funny, considering what he does to his half-brother in 3.
DaltonMcBleh
Funny, considering what Kratos does to his half-brother (annoyingly referred to as Hercules, his Roman name) in the 3rd game
myr14d
#3: This one's actually sorta correct - but it refers to a variation by the brother's grim. In the original the queen dies another way.
koinuchan
What's the other way?
myr14d
sees her marrying the prince, chokes with rage and dies. (2/2)
koinuchan
Fuckin metal.
myr14d
After she thinks she kills Snow white with a poisoned comb (it's a comb not an apple in the origial), she asks her mirror again, (1/2)
Sejanus1964
In Tangled Flynn cuts off Rapunzels hair
[deleted]
[deleted]
0lliecat
It does say "Disney version" as well have a picture from Tangled.
jarjarbinkswasthebestcharacterinstarwars
And as far as I know Disney didn't make any other films based on rapunzel
AnActualTsundere
Rapnuzel*
nicktheray
Oh haha I thought the correction was that Rapunzel cut off her own hair not a spelling error.
AnActualTsundere
I just find it funny because Rapnuzel sounds like some serious business german rap organization
DrCatbus
All I hear is rapnoodle
Triton178
In the original version, the princess doesn't kiss the frog after which it turns into a prince, but throws it against a wall!
raptorsoldier
And it works
TheyCallMeMrPigeonCuzImJustSoCoo
I remember that. He even said "I could only turn back after a princess showed me kindest" I was like "bitch she just launched you 10 feet."

It doesn't work the other way around with royalty, as Princess Diana did not transform into a frog -_-

SO MANY WATERMARKS
Hetuni
But can we get more?
Raggart
Many such stories were used as cautionary tales for children or the peasant rabble so they're usually quite rough.
CardioVascular
They seemed to also be a coping mechanism for mistreated step children.
revcleo
Though the little mermaid and hunchback of notredame are stories in their own right.
PitchforkSalesperson
Actually the ending of LM basically says "bad children kill angels", ´cos ariel becomes an angel and gets a chance to earn a soul
revcleo
There's debate over the ending, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid
JustASlightJingleOfPocketChangePulsing
What aspect of his comment Sid you think you were clarifying ot adding to
revcleo
Do you know why the little mermaid was written? It wasn't for children to be warned or peasants to be quelled.
JustASlightJingleOfPocketChangePulsing
He said many, not all. And what was your actual point in saying those were stories in their own right? The rest weren't stories?
revcleo
The Brothers Grimm did not invent a whole range of fairy tales, they collected them. They didn't make those stories, they developed.
revcleo
The other tales are stories in their own right, written for their defined purpose.
Totallybadassusername
The Little Mermaid is more brutal. Every step she takes, feels like walking on a thousand knives. And when she dies, she becomes sea foam.
SuperDork42
which happens because she throws herself from a cliff
Totallybadassusername
Ship actually.
SuperDork42
I've heard it several ways, but most often the cliff.
Totallybadassusername
In the original, written by H.C. Anderson, it's a boat. Original: http://www.andersenstories.com/da/andersen_fortaellinger/den_lille_havfrue

#5 I am a descendant of Pocahontas. That is NOT how it happened.
Hg203
Wikipedia has a good piece on this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocahontas#England
Happyrexmanningday
Yeah that one is totally wrong. I think people said the live action Pocahontas movie with Christian Bale in it was pretty accurate
radicaleb
Suuuuuuuuuure you are.
Echopractic
Atomic2
pocahantas's great grand son had at least 7 kids, most of whom had multiple kids themselves, some as much as 9 kids! That was 300 years 1/2
Atomic2
ago. By now there have to be thousands, if not tens of thousands of descendants. 2/2
fairybug
That's a nuclear knowledge bomb.
ragnarokio
i'm skeptical
SchlongReviewer
Pocahontas was never "romantically" involved with John Smith. He basically took a brief pit stop in her village
surefang
I'm not certain about Beauty & the Beast, but the others check out.
myr14d
Only sort of check out. They're mostly either not telling the entire ending, or are variations from the original.
Ferlin7
They screwed up the Disney version of Rapunzel. I don't have much faith in their accuracy on the old ones.
myr14d
The only completely correct ones that don't skip out on relevant details are #6 and #7.
PurpleMagnolia
I've read the original Grimm Brothers beauty and beast and he most certainly doesn't eat Belle. She's like 13 and is given to the beast 1/x
PurpleMagnolia
To proceed her siblings and father from the beast. They do become friends and later married. But he doesn't eat her.
hurtsogooddotjpeg
I found the same when I looked around online. Thanks for confirming.
ragnarokio
i couldn't find any information about the john raping pocahontas thing.
Demauscian
John never raped her, but she was kidnapped.
ragnarokio
yes i did read that
