the true loves kiss trope is an excuse for story writers to undo deaths without adding another chapter/more screen time and it is just over used at this point Edit: not only deaths but also curses and just a bunch of stuff that could actually be solved in an interesting way which would make the movie/book better

Being of Hungarian ancestry on my mother's side, I decided to watch a very nice series on Hungarian fairy tales/folk tales. Thinking of how many times the stories involve a transformed animal that turns out to be a prince or princess under an evil spell...you are right. Rarely does the spell get broken by a kiss. There was one that involved a frog, and the frog instructed the man to burn the wood pile it was on...when the fire finally burned out, there stood the princess, unharmed. Another involved a cat that just told the prince to "lie down and take a rest," and eventually after one of these naps, the cat just turned back into her princess form. It is love or trust that breaks the curse, not a kiss. The hero of the story has to trust the animal enough to carry out the instructions to break the curse. It also often involves having to marry said animal, or at least agreeing to it. I feel like the kiss is just a symbol in animated movies to show the kids...to simplify things, perhaps. I also wonder if it has anything to do with "the breath of life" or CPR? Hmm.

German kids were fine without the adjustements. I grew up with several versions and can tell you that as a child you don't fully grasp just how gruesome the original storys are. It's more like"Oh, getting their eyes picked out is pretty harsh."(just imagining black holes where the eyes were with a shrug) Or "She deserves having to dance to death in hot iron shoes!" ( imagining it without blood or burning flesh) We mostly see them as different storys that can both be enjoyed by children or even used for education. Edit for more information: We are normally around 4-6 years old when we hear our first not disneyfied fairytale, that's why I don't think that you need disneyfied versions for a younger audience

And for the part of disney being everywhere, true but the chance I had was the fact in France most Dinsey movies used to air on paid tv channels. And the version of tales I know came from the tales book we had at elementary school and the cartoon dvd that my mom used to buy us (and those movies actually are more true to the story than the disney versions). Just like how some people call Snow Queen a rip-off of Frozen when this movie is more true to its original material than Frozen.

You didn't tell the last part of the Little Mermaid. For her choice, she was given the chance to earn an immortal soul. I mean, she didn't get what she wanted in life but that's not the worst thing, right? Getting some kind of immortality? The prince was a knob anyway. And I'd say my favorite is The Light Princess by George MacDonald. In which the curse is broken by a girl legitimately realizing she's fallen in love with a man she's gotten to know over a suitable period of time and crying with relief when she finds out he's going to be okay after he nearly drowned. Imagine... a sensible romance. Of the Grimm Brothers, I like Iron Hans, but Hans isn't the main character, more of a facilitator. He helps the main character and gets his spell broken in the bargain. It has a very cute scene with a princess trying to snatch off the prince's hat while he's hiding out in her kingdom working as an assistant gardener... because he went and got himself cursed with literal golden hair and she got a peek and wanted to see more. Also Catskin. No spells or transformations here, though... at least, none that weren't entirely under the control of the transformed. It has a creepy start and almost no magic at all. A king goes crazy and wants to marry his own daughter and everyone acknowledges that this is messed up but can't figure out how to stop him. So she keeps making demands before they can marry and finally bails with all the little gifts she asked for, wearing one of them which was a coat made of every kind of fur in the kingdom. She's also blackened her face and limbs with soot so she can slip away incognito and makes it into a distant kingdom before crashing inside a hollow tree for the night where the local king's hunting dogs sniff her out. He thinks she's some weird animal and she quickly pulls a full con game where she pretends to be some sorry orphaned freak and asks for work in the kitchen, which he allows. From there she pulls a series of switcheroos, turning up at royal parties in fancy dresses she had hidden in walnut shells (there's your magic... fashion magic) so that the king takes an interest and gets more honked off every time she slips away from him. She's inevitably busted and they get married. No consequences for her father, King Loonie the Incestuous, but considering he wanted to marry her because she looked just like her dead mother (who seriously demanded on her death bed that he only marry someone as beautiful as her with her golden hair. Messed up way to leave this world.) I can only suppose he lost his mind entirely when she disappeared and that was that.

I've always wondered why Disney hasn't adapted Catskin. I mean, what's better than selling one Princess dress? Why, selling three and a coat! I've read one collection where the king is punished. There, the story is called Princess in Disguise, and the new King goes after the old one, though I don't remember if he just kills him when he recognizes her or he does the Ole horses ripped him apart routine (that might have been Goose Girl too, it's been awhile since I read it, but I think that one the Queen accidentally condemns herself to dancing hot iron shoes until she dies)

In one of my favourite Grimm fairytales, the bee Queen( Die Bienenkönigin), the curse gets lifted after the third trial which the prince can solve with the help of a bee queen whose hive he earlier rescued from his own brothers who wanted to destroy the hive because of the honey. He has to identify the youngest of three identical looking sleeping princesses and his only clue is what each of them ate before being cursed. The youngest had snacked on honey. So the bee queen lands on every girls lips and detects a trace of honey left on the youngest one and as thanks for the rescue tells the prince. The prince then guesses correct and the curse is lifted. Every trial he only passes because of the help of the animals he earlier rescued and I loved that as a child as much as I love it now. I also liked how every prince and princess in this tale fit together. The money spending with the frugal one the animal lover with the other animal lover etc.

I feel that the reason Disney used a true love kiss to cure curses is because other movies at that time made it very common that a demonstration of true love would be the female and Male character kissing at the end of the film. This troupe still exists today as a method to bring a climax to a romance movie. Using a kiss was probably the easiest and simplest way to demonstrate true love to an audience already used to the kiss troupe. But, that's just my take on it. Amazing video as I always love you work!

I believe the older stories are far more interesting but do have some similar traits. Such as the said slaying of the enchanted beast or one having to agree to marry it. Think of these two ways including the tale with the snake as selkis but they can no longer remove there animal skin and so must be slayed or wed to be able to do. Basically its a sort of separation of the man and beast if you really want to make it simple. The fun part for us as the reader or lister is figuring out or listing to what needs to happen for this curse to be broken.

HC Andersen did not make stories for kids, and in denmark we are often taught the original story as kids, but they are just much more interesting. If you read his stories you will know that he was an outsider for his time, lonley and sad. And some of his stories are very dark and grim bc of his life story. He is a interesting person and made a lot of wierd but great stories 👌

Regarding the usage of the word "it" referring to Snow White, that might be a result of the story being translated from German. The word for girl in German is Mädchen, which despite literally meaning GIRL is gender neutral (because as far as I recall, all words ending with "-chen" are). When I read Snow White in German it was difficult to get past how frequently the narration referred to Snow White as "es" (it) but that was because the it was referring back to the noun "the girl". Languages where all nouns are gendered are weird when English is your first language, because sometimes you have girls being called it and then you'll have objects getting called he and she.

One of the versions of Beauty and the Beast [well it's not quite like that] the guy is cursed and marriage and all doesn't break the curse. He actually tells his wife when he wanders off like once a month or so she's not to follow him. Eventually she does, is horrified to see he's a beast [btw he leaves to keep people safe] and basically runs off to town, talks to a man in town to kill him and ends up with that man. I forget if he's actually killed or if he gets away but is never able to return because the whole town knows. If I remember right it's the later, and he ends up with a woman living in the forest I think, or some how ends up with a kind woman who thinks he's just an animal and cares for him because he's hurt and that's what breaks the curse. I think, read it in college, it's been ages. But it's one of many versions of the story.

Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty 1959 is an adaptation of Tchaikovsky's ballet ( which is heavily inspired by Charles Perrault's version ) the only thing taken by the written versions is Briar Rose Aurora's second name which was taken from the Grimm's version ( Tchaikovsky also added the kiss thing from Grimm's version ) . In Snow White (1937 ) he chose Loves First Kiss because it has some cohesion within the story ( Set up,Built up, Pay off ) which the 1857 version of the brothers Grimm didn't have ... In the Little Mermaid they went along with it cause they would possibly do the original grim ending ,and because Walt Disney did it ,so did they ... I think it's a bit of a stretch to say that Walt Disney wanted to brainwash little kids with true loves kiss e.t.c ... He did it because it exists in plenty of fairy tales and provided a more solid ending than " She came back to life by accident " ..

I can imagine families and friends sitting around the fire on a cold winter evening, embellishing stories they had been told as children. They may have contested with each other to make the story more convoluted and exciting. So, a young wife loses the trust of her husband, either through gossip he hears on a journey, or from his mother. There are many psychological case studies of mothers being jealous of their son's young wives. Now, for the young wife to regain the trust of her husband is seldom easy to accomplish in real life. It may be these stories symbolize the heroics a young woman must accomplish in order to maintain her family.

This reminds me of Hessian Fairy legends. There, Faeries are usually cursed in some way, most times they are trapped underground and can only come out at a certain time of day/month/year/decade/century. To break the curse they need to perform a ritual with a human, which most times is 3 kisses by a virgin. Not a true loves kiss, mind you, but more of a kissing booth: if the hero frees her with the kisses, she'll leave him the treasures she's been guarding for eaons. In the legends, however, the virgin kisses the fairy once, then the second time, as she turns into an old and ugly woman, but is scared away by her snake form, before he can give the final kiss. Most Hessian legends about cursed people end without the breaking of the spell...

The Little Mermaid is the only literature character I can think of that has a tail and under water, legs on land, and wings in the sky. She got to experience everything!

Princess and the frog is also based on E. D. Baker's Frog Princess which has the kiss of a princess as the spell breaker. No love involved in that solution (in theory, of course)

I have to say that in some fairy tales there was this whole "sleep with the beast/animal/cursed thing" in order to break the curse. Which is... well... questionable.

Fairy tails follow the anime logic of pregnancy. Kissing gets you pregnanat, holding hands gets you pregnant, walking under the same umbrella gets you pregnant.

I have a question about the spell in the snow white What if someone already had their first kiss from their love ? Would the spell not work on them at all ? Would it be impossible to cure ?

Abitfrank! KZbin cut off the end of your video. I haven't seen that happen in a few years now, but it seems that they are back at it for some reason. Might want to let them know.

I think it boils down to palletsbility. Things werent as watered down and the entirety of childhood innocents wasn't really a thing. As the years went on and we progress more and more and kids actually had a chance to have childhood innocence well then story's had to change for the most part, you can't be showing kids these horrible dark acts, so you make it innocent and easier to swallow. Unless you want the reverse you tell dark fienfish thing to help scare kind from stuff like that lack monster who est naughty kids While it detracts from the story it makes it easier to move it forward because as you shown some of the stuff is down right gross and not okay

Hm There is exactly another version of that tale with the frog prince and princess.....from what I have heard from my mother the princess did kiss the frog but the frog prince´s curse did not break and the princess turned into a frog instead; but they did find a way to break the curse in the end.
