What are the disney classics that have disturbing original stories?

I mean the original stories that where written, and Disney changed them into kid friendly fairy tales, but are really originally gruesome, or sad or such? and what are the original stories of each one?What are the disney classics that have disturbing original stories?
1. Snow White: In the original, Snow White's mother dies in childbirth while giving birth to her. Also, the wicked queen eats the liver %26amp; lung from the boar that the huntsman kills, claiming it's Snow White. Disney cut this part from the movie, because it was too gruesome.



2. Pinocchio: In the original, Gepetto is given a piece of talking wood that torments him. When he carves into it, it screams. When it gets legs, it runs away. The talking cricket in the book annoys Pinocchio %26amp; he smashes it. One evening, Pinocchio falls asleep by a furnace, and his legs get burned off. Gepetto makes him new ones, but only if Pinocchio promises to go to school. He goes to Foolsville instead, where he bites off the hands of the cat %26amp; fox who threaten him. Many other little things are different - but in the end, Pinocchio learns not to lie, and he does become a real boy.



3. Sleeping Beauty: The original begins where the Disney movie ends. The princess (who is NOT Aurora) has touched the spindle, slept for 100 years, and has already been awoken by the prince. They marry and THEY have a daughter whom they name Aurora. The prince's mother tries to kill %26amp; eat the princess and her children, Aurora %26amp; Day, when the prince goes to war. When he returns, he saves his family and kills his mother.



4. Fox %26amp; The Hound: in the original, Tod the fox lures Chief the older dog onto railroad tracks where he is killed. Copper the hound %26amp; his owner track Tod for years. When they find him, they gas his fox hole, killing his cubs. A fox trap that the master sets kills Tod's wife. Tod finds another mate %26amp; has more cubs, who are all found %26amp; shot by the master. At the end, Tod is found %26amp; killed by the master. Shortly after, the master takes Copper out %26amp; shoots him too because he is old.



5. The Little Mermaid: in the original, if the little mermaid can't make the prince fall in love with her, she will turn into sea foam. The rest of the story is pretty accurate. She is unable to get the prince to love %26amp; marry her, and he marries someone else - so the little mermaid turns to sea foam.



6. Beauty %26amp; The Beast: Beauty has selfish sisters in the original, who are greedy. Beauty does go to the Beast's kingdom to stay in place of her father, who had been held there captive by the beast. She is allowed to return home to see her father, like in the movie. Her sisters try to delay her from returning, hoping Beast will kill her. She does return though, falls in love with him, and he turns into a prince. Then beauty's sisters are turned into statues in the mansion, forever watching their sisters happiness.



7. Pocahontas: In reality, Pocahontas was only 12 when she met John Smith. She saved his life, but they were never romantically involved. She married John Rolfe when she was 19, who was a planter. When she was 22, she died of smallpox.



8. Mulan: There are many versions of this, as it was all word of mouth. Some versions have Mulan killing herself, others have her going back to battle, some end up with her marrying.



There is a book dedicated to this topic that you might really like to read. It talks about the original version, and then explains how Disney changed it. It also talks about how the movie is integrated into the parks. The book is called "Mouse Under Glass" and is available at Amazon.

Little Mermaid

Parts in Aladdin- There was a part in the song where they say something like "They cut of your ear if they don't like your face" but was changed to something else.

Snow White- fortunately disney hasn鈥檛 done too much damage to this tale, but they did leave out one important original element: in the original tale, the Queen actually asks for Snow White鈥檚 liver and lungs 鈥?which are to be served for dinner that night! In the orignal she wakes up from the horse ride, not a kiss. What the prince wanted to do with a dead girl鈥檚 body I will leave to your imagination. Oh 鈥?in the Grimm version, the tale ends with the Queen being forced to dance to death in red hot iron shoes!

Sleeping Beauty- tale is not so sweet (in fact, you have to read this to believe it.) In the original, the young woman is put to sleep because of a prophesy, rather than a curse. And it isn鈥檛 the kiss of a prince which wakes her up: the king seeing her asleep, and rather fancying having a bit, rapes her. After nine months she gives birth to two children (while she is still asleep). One of the children sucks her finger which removes the piece of flax which was keeping her asleep. She wakes up to find herself raped and the mother of two kids.

Cinderella-Grimm brothers: in this version, the nasty step-sisters cut off parts of their own feet in order to fit them into the glass slipper 鈥?hoping to fool the prince. The prince is alerted to the trickery by two pigeons who peck out the step sister鈥檚 eyes. They end up spending the rest of their lives as blind beggars while Cinderella gets to lounge about in luxury at the prince鈥檚 castle.What are the disney classics that have disturbing original stories?
The Rescuers movie bears almost no resemblance to the book.



There were 3 mice. Miss Binaca was only to carry a message between the 2 males, one of which was Niles. She is not a member of the society.



The Rescue Aid Society gave friendship and comfort to men in prisons. There had been no plans to rescue one.



The prisoner is a man. He is being held in a dungeon in a European country. A political prisoner.



The warden's cat is named Lucifer.



There is NO little girl, no Madam Medusa, no swamp, no alligators, no goonybirds, no precious gems and no romance between the mice.



It was a adult adventure novel and rather sad.



Any of the stories that were based on Grimm's Fairy Tales are gruesome.



Cinderella ends with the Stepmother being invited to the wedding of the new Queen, recognizes her and they force her to put on iron shoes that have been heating in the fireplace. She dances herself to death.



In Snow White there is no cure for her sleep and the Prince rapes her and leaves her sleeping.
Oh, The Little Mermaid is the big one. Here is the original: http://hca.gilead.org.il/li_merma.html In which Ariel feels as if she steps on white hot knives with every step she takes, and becomes a "pet girl".



In Cinderella, each of the stepsisters cut off parts of their feet in order to fit into the glass slipper, for, as their mother says, "When you are queen, you will not have to walk." The prince actually rides off with each of them before figuring out that they are not his love.



Believe it or not, Bambi was based on a book. Which involved far more death than the one scene we all bawl at during the movie, and actually had some very mature morals.



In Rapunzel, both Rapunzel and her lover's eyes are clawed out by the witch who imprisoned her.



And this one isn't exactly disturbing, but interesting nonetheless; the original Tarzan was a complete Gary Stu.What are the disney classics that have disturbing original stories?
The Little Mermaid- she ends up jumping into the waves, and turning into sea foam.



Cinderella- one of the stepsisters cuts off her heel.



Snow White- the queen tries to suffocate Snow White with a tight corset.



That's all I can think of right now :)
The King and I. Tuptim was executed for supposedly cheating on the king, among other things, that the Disney version removed.
