Reality Behind Disney Movies
Disney movies surely are very amazing, wonderful, and filled with happiness. Everyone loves them, they are full of magic and miracles. Well you know what, just forget all the stuff, that’s right! Here are some dark and disturbing facts about the Disney movies. Alright, let’s get started!
1. Cinderella
The Disney Version:
The perfect fairy tale where the beautiful girl who was mistreated by her family finds her Prince Charming and lives happily ever after. At the end that’s the version we all know. But it turns out that the original story is much darker. So when the prince comes to find his princess we know that he takes her shoe with him so he can try it on all of the Maidens until it fits his true love Cinderella. Maybe back in those days no one girl had the same foot size. And apparently the prince has a horrible memory because he can't even remember what his true love looks like. But I guess the whole slipper thing is suppose to be romantic.
The Darker Version:
Turns out the original story isn’t so romantic. In this story, when the prince arrives to Cinderella's stepmother's house her daughters cut off their toes and heels in order to fit into the shoe. However this plan doesn’t work and the prince finds Cinderella. And to make matters worse during Cinderella's Wedding some pigeons go and peck out the evil step sisters eyes. But finally things work out for Cinderella at the end!
2. The Little Mermaid
The Disney Version:
The story we are all familiar with goes a little something like this; Ariel is the daughter of the king of the sea, she falls in love with a human and will do whatever it takes to be with him. So she goes to visit a sea witch named Ursula and exchanges her voice for a pair of legs. She and the prince fall in love, kill the witch and live happily ever after.
The Darker Version:
In the darker version, things aren’t so happy go lucky. Turns out in the agreement between Ariel and Ursula, Ariel should have read the fine print that was written in the Contract before signing because if she did, she’d see that it was noted that her new legs would hurt all the time. It would feel as though she was walking on knives. And you know pain and seduction don’t really go hand in hand. So Eric ends up marrying someone else and Ariel throws herself in the ocean where she dissolves into the sea.
3. Pinocchio
The Disney Version:
Pinocchio in the version we know, was brought to life by his carpenter father who always wanted a son so he makes one out of wood. One day on his way to school Pinocchio puts his father’s life in danger and he makes friends with some not so nice characters. But in the end he becomes a real boy.
The Darker Version:
It turns out in the original story of Pinocchio is that he isn’t a very nice boy. Ever since he was brought to life he’s been a brat, he steals, talks back and even his own father becomes sick of him. He never even gets the chance to become a real boy. Because one day the cat and the fox become bored of being around him and decide to hang him from a willow tree and watch him die a slow painful death. They then sit back and laugh as his lifeless body swings in the wind. There is one thing though, if he’s made of wood still how hanging him would kill him? Still its pretty gruesome.
4. Hercules
The Disney Version:
Another amazing Disney film from what we’ve seen, Hercules is the son of Zeus, he battles many monsters, saves Meg from Hades and becomes a true hero.
The Darker Version:
In his original story, he wasn’t so chivalrous. He was actually a jerk. In the original story Meg was the daughter of a king. Hercules took by force. He raped her, had kids with her. One day Hera, Hercules's mother killed Meg and his kids. This drove Hercules mad and he was tormented by guilt. He still went on to complete the tasks like he did in the Disney film, but he did so with disregard for his life and extreme violence.
5. Sleeping Beauty
The Disney Version:
Another beautiful classic, we have a princess who pricks her finger and falls into an eternal sleep only to be awoken with a kiss from her prince.
The Darker Version:
The original story isn’t so cute. In this version Aurora is raped by the prince who by the way is already married. He then leaves her and she is awoken by giving birth to his twins that he impregnated her with. Aurora then brings the infants to the castle where the prince's wife tries to kill them. And yes, there is no role played by Maleficent in this horrifying reality.
