As mentioned briefly in the History of Fairytales section, many of the fairytales retold by the Brothers Grimm, Perrault, etc. were changed from their original versions in order to retain appropriate themes for children, the primary intended audience. Here are some videos that help show how the known fairytale adaptations of today vastly differ from the original versions.
**NOTE: Some of these videos contain information that replicates another video, but each is included on the merit of the singular information it provides. This videos also discuss rape, torture, and other themes not appropriate for a young audience.
1. This video covers Cinderella, Pinocchio, Rapunzel, and more.
2. This video discusses Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, The Little Mermaid, The Ugly Duckling, and more.
3. This video covers Snow White, Aladdin, The Pied Piper of Hamlin, and others.
