Myth-Folklore Unit: Grimm (LibriVox)
I used to watch
this show on HBO called “Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child.” The
show took different fairy tales and animated them and put a unique spin on them
but still managed to stay true to the stories. One of the stories they did was
The Frog Prince. The Princess and the Frog, the Disney remake of this story, is
one of my favorite Disney princess movies but, it is quite different than the
original story.
Once again, the HBO show I used to
watch did this story as well. This version of Rapunzel is the one I knew before
I saw the Disney remake, “Tangled.” The original version makes Rapunzel’s
parents seem like bad people because they agreed to give up their daughter for
a vegetable. I guess Disney wanted the audience to feel more empathetic towards
Rapunzel’s family by making them royalty and by having Rapunzel kidnapped by Mother
Gothel.
