Fairytales of Famous Authors Compared to Disney Cartoons with proper respect etc

Story Discussion Time 2

Hi, it's me Lumna10.

Okay now I know you are probably saying what there is an older better story? Why didn't Disney use it? Well the main reason is that it doesn't have much action.

The princess was a probably in the preteens when she was cursed in Charles Perrault's story, but she is 16 in the Disney version.

Also while Disney reduced the fairies presence to four there were actually 8. Seven that were invited to the child's christening and the feast afterward. The 8th fairy was very old and had been forgotten by the people of the country and as we all know old people can be somewhat grumpy and you can probably guess in Charles Perrault's story she is the Maleficient.

Why she cursed the princess?

Disney says because she wasn't invited to the celebration, but in Charles Perrault's story it has nothing to do with the invitation. It has to do with the fact that the castle had given special plate settings to the other seven fairies because that's all that had been made.

The youngest of the seven fairies doesn't give a gift till after the princess is cursed and she is the main hero of the story and sets in place and the time for the princess to meet the prince. However, the other six fairies give her amazing gifts including one that preserves her astounding beauty while she is asleep.

There is one truth behind Disney story and that is the burning of the spindles, but an old woman of the castle was never informed of this rule and so the cruel gift came to pass as we know young children left without parents supervision can find their way into trouble as they are very curious and curious the princess was.

There's actually no menacing dragon guarding the castle where the princess sleeps. Secondly her parents don't ever return to the country ever so when she wakes she will never see them again. The briars and thorns were made to recognize the prince and let him through alone.

The only mention of dragons is when the fairy who put the castle to sleep comes with a chariot driven by them and how she got the news was from a dwarf who works as a messenger for her.

She is the fairy who put the whole castle to sleep.

Outside the castle the people had forgotten that it was there and made up many strange stories about it as the prince finds out but one old man remember the truth behind the tallest turret and so this is the way the story is told through an outsider whose parents may have known someone in the castle a century ago.

The recently live action Maleficient is one of my favorite Sleeping Beauty stories ever and is the closest you can get to the real story, and again I must repeat this Cinderella's castle isn't actually Cinderella's castle but is in fact modeled after Sleeping Beauty's castle. I will never watch the sequel to Maleficent's live action I like where the first ended and wished it stayed that way. So you can beg but I am not determined to watch it. I don't find it all that becoming of the first one. And I hate useless Motherly dramas for no reason. Films need to stop depicting Mothers this way it's ungodly, and completely truly injustice.
