Snow White: http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/grimm053.html"Then they put a pair of iron shoes into burning coals. They were brought forth with tongs and placed before her. She was forced to step into the red-hot shoes and dance until she fell down dead."Just as bad in my opinion, is that the Prince fell in love with Snow White in her coffin- believing her to be at that time a DEAD CHILD not much more than the age of 7 or 8 ??What?! A necrophiliac pedophile?! That's quite disturbing.

She had looked forward to thrilling talks with him about old times, butnew adventures had crowded the old ones from his mind."Who is Captain Hook?" he asked with interest when she spoke of the archenemy."Don't you remember," she asked, amazed, "how you killed him and savedall our lives?""I forget them after I kill them," he replied carelessly.When she expressed a doubtful hope that Tinker Bell would be glad to seeher he said, "Who is Tinker Bell?""O Peter," she said, shocked; but even when she explained he could notremember."There are such a lot of them," he said. "I expect she is no more."I expect he was right, for fairies don't live long, but they are solittle that a short time seems a good while to them.
The original fairy tales are pretty gory. The step-sisters in Cinderella cut off parts of their feet in order to make the slipper fit. One cut off her toes and the other cut off her heel (and then Cinderella put it on with no mention of cleaning the blood out of the shoe first). You don't see that in the Disney version.
