What REALLY Happened To The Stepsisters In The Original Cinderella Story!

[@Hinatachan360]

When I was a little girl my mother bought a huge book of fairy tales. It was all of the original dark versions. I remember reading the Brothers Grimm version.

[@feellikecinderellanaegabye2487]

I think that we are easily shocked since we all grew with the disney versions, when the original tales were actually made to scare the children and focused on having a moral more than making the children dream. They were good at it back in the 18th century, glad I'm not born then :)

[@abigailnguema461]

I don't know if you know but the original story of Cinderella was actually written by Charles Perrault, a French writer, in the 16th Century before being rewritten by the Grimm brothers. In that tale Cinderella did have a fairy Godmother, even though this time, her slippers weren't made of glass either, they were made of fur.

[@NAVEMAN3]

It's possible that Brothers Grimm was more popular than Perrault. I'm more familiar with Chinese Cinderella. Unfortunately, a lot of the Chinese culture misinterpreted the story and that's how foot binding became a thing.

[@cybercat29]

Actually her shoes were made of thin leather called glass.

[@evahoffmann5683]

The original Sleeping Beauty was also written by Charles Perrault.

[@fan2jnrc]

True except for the slippers. In the original of Perrault (17th century actually) they are made of glass ("verre" in French), written in all letters, in all editions. Only during the 19th century, some literary critics have invented against all evidence that it must be a typographical error and that the shoes must be made of "vair", that is a very fine fur. The legend remained. But it is not true.

[@bismahnaeem592]

True

[@GamersDogma]

There are lots of versions and adaptation of cinderella throughout the centuries. In fact, from what I heard, the story originated in ancient Egypt. Apparently, a servant working in the pharaoh palace got one of her sandals stolen by a eagle which ended up falling on the pharaoh himself. Thinking it was a sign from Ra, the pharaoh searched for the sandal's owner and married her. Interesting to see how stories change with time.

[@crochetandCoffee747]

theres a really good video on youtube where someone reads the full version of the egyptian cinderella its called rhodopis.

The golden shoe was actually the FIRST night. The ball went on for 3 nights and each night she came in with a different outfit and shoe. Because she ran away from him the first 2 nights, the prince decides that the final night is when he covers the stairs in pitch to keep her from running away.

[@sleepyazazel]

Brothers Grimm versions of stories were always my favorite growing up as I kid,I always hated Disney movies for how the villains either died off screen or got off too lightly

[@duzinchevicimariela3855]

I also remember a version where her mom got turned into a black sheep and got eaten by the step mother and sisters, they even offered Cinderella to eat as well but of course she refused knowing that's her mom, after they ate Cinderella burried the bones under a tree (and the rest is the same)

Yesssss!!

[@peachy_87]

The more gory version with the cutting of the foot parts and eye-gouging is the Grimm version...however the Disney interpretation, and possibly the more well-known, is the 1697 Perrault version, i.e. with the Fairy Godmother rather than the mother and willow tree and birds etc...

[@hannas9638]

I grew up on both the disney and the grimms cuz here in my country there was always remakes of the original grimm stories on tv and idk i always found them super intresting

[@-ryu7086]

Let's pray so there will be a brother grimm version.. As a movie in theaters

[@moonprincesst.s.h.4ever115]

CORRECTIONS: Actually, Disney's Cinderella is based on the fairy tale of the same name by Charles Perrault. It does have a fairy godmother, a magic pumpkin and glass slippers. Also, the Brothers Grimm didn't write Cinderella. They just adapted it into their collection of stories.

[@albatross1688]

Neither did Perrault, technically. It's also possible the Grimms put their own spin on some aspects of the stories they collected, so even though they technically didn't invent the stories they wrote down, it's possible they still made them their own in some way.

[@pandoravex4791]

Honestly, if the remakes followed the OG stories more closely, I’d actually enjoy them and they’d actually have a purpose for existing.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

I'm truly concerned for people who want *Disney* to go dark when they are always geared towards children.

[@IloveMitskisongs]

I would love too (If it's make by someone who's not in Disney), But this is a kids show so dont ever think that would happen..

[@LilDemona]

The Brothers Grimm version of Cinderella is my absolute favorite version 😇

[@WhiteIndoraptor]

I know the original story of Cinderella too it’s very disturbing. 😳

[@albatross1688]

There's also an ancient Chinese story with some Cinderella-like elements, and I've heard there are plenty of others. My take is that we probably shouldn't take any of these stories as explicitly being "the original Cinderellas", but there is certainly a possibility that they were sources of inspiration for Basile's story, which would later inspire Perrault's, which would in turn potentially make its way to the Grimms in some form.

[@joygernautm6641]

This is not so far-fetched from reality for today. My mom died and my dad had another girlfriend within a month and married her. She immediately cut him off from his first family in every way possible and alienated him from us and now we barely see him.

[@KylaGem21]

Wow it does reminds me of that too . _ ."

[@albatross1688]

Actually, the Disney film is based on a version of the story by Charles Perrault that's over a century older than the Grimm version, and the film is a lot closer to it. The dad still lives in that version, and he's not portrayed as a jerk. However, he is portrayed as being unbelievably oblivious to Cinderella's suffering, so either way he's the worst character, and that's probably why he's killed off in Disney's version and other versions of the story to follow.

[@Sky___0]

A teacher in my elementary school read the exact same storyline! But Cinderella got pecked by the birds since the prince dumped her in that story.

[@lunarrainbow2501]

I wouldn't mind a version of the original story

[@RaymondCruz25]

I mean… in the movie “Into the Woods”; the stepsisters do become blinded after Cinderella rides off with the Prince. However, Disney made it to where it’s classic “Dear Father” passed away and Cinderella’s Mother was buried under a mighty tree and her spirit turned the trees leaves into her dress

[@aimeeblack8942]

Haaaaaaa already knew the dark version. Second lol

[@isabellaeiseman195]

I mean some of that was shown into the woods, like cutting off their feet and other things, and also that it was birds not mice.

[@rileymontgomery5620]

The brothers Grimm version would be a good horror movie

[@JustNaomiDior]

BTW .. the brothers grimm version was used in the movie "into the woods" and cinderella went to the ball three times because it was for three nights.

As a child i remembed reading a book were it had the real cinderella story and the only thing I remember from that book before this video is one of the stepsisters cutting off their big toe. I wasnt scared i was more of amazed when i read that part i dont know why though and after seeing the disney version i was confused on why i didnt see it now i know why

[@constantinejohnny5465]

Back in the late 80s or early 90s, I remember catching a Cinderella movie based on the original Brothers Grimm version during a long school break. There was this scene where the stepsisters mutilated themselves, not gory, but they acted it out with the sister screaming. That’s when it hit me that the Disney version wasn’t the original. Nowadays, that movie would probably be banned for kids, but back then, it didn’t seem so bad. Just different from the Cinderella I knew.

[@Packless1]

If Disney would do their movies by the ORIGINAL stories, the movies would be 'Adults only' 😱😱😱

[@SolusDarkcoat]

So cinderella put on a shoe filled with blood? neat

[@michelleschrock9141]

I remember another part. Near the end of the story the evil Stepmother was forced to dance in hot iron shoes until she died of the pain and exhaustion from dancing. I was told that version when i was a little kid in the daycare. And we never thought that it was gruesome.

[@lovelylyrics530]

I commented this 25 seconds into the video, so he probably already mentioned it but i remember seeing a movie when i was five about the original version of Cinderella where the step sister cut there heels of to fit into the shoe.

Yeah Disney cleaned it up because they wanted to keep it kid friendly. Disney, though nice for teens and adults, it is all basically for little kids. If kids found out about the real versions of Cinderella and other stories from the Brothers Grimm, they would be traumatized for life.

[@pecahalloween]

There was a version by Charles Perrault. In this version, the father lives, but is to in love and scared of the stepmother to ever stand up for Cinderella. He even reprimanded her for complaining about her situation. The Fairy Godmother actually gives Cinderella her self esteem. Since Cinderella doesn't even have one in the first place, because she is taught that her family's needs are more important.

[@aurelialopez6541]

When I was little and watched the new Disney into the woods they showed this story. When Lady Tremaine was cutting up their feet they bit into towels and screamed. They obviously didn't show it so I asked my mom why are they screaming? She didn't answer.

Sadly there were no consequences for the evil stepmother who goaded the sisters on. She deserved to be punished just as badly, if not worse, then the stepsisters.

[@princessseraphina8990]

Honestly, I am glad Disney went with a more child-friendly version of Cinderella. It would be cruel if Anastasia and Drizella had their eyes plucked as punishment. A more befitting punishment would be for them to learn the meaning of respect, kindness, empathy, and hard work while they work like maids. But Cinderella would treat them with kindness and respect and give them breaks. Learn what it's it like to be in Cinderella's shoes, not literally, and learn their lesson. It's not entirely the stepsisters' fault. Lady Tremaine manipulated them for her own gain.

[@ThePeacefulArtist]

Into The Wooda fallows the original story more and the Broadway production not the 2014 Disney adaptation of even Into The Wooda.

[@Sairey13]

You should watch Jon Solo talking about the origin story of Cinderella... Especially, that another story, way before Brother's Grimm, was the first Cinderella Story. ...In my honesty, if they were to do another Cinderella Movie based on the Brother's Grimm version, I think they should have the tree in place of the Fairy Godmother. And, that in another part of the Brother's Grimm's version (Again, go watch Jon Solo's.), that the ball lasted for three days and that she wore three different dresses and shoes to attend the ball. Especially, because of the Rule of Three (Back then, a lot of stories follow/had the Rule of Three incorporated in them.).

[@erikaquatsch2190]

The stories Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm collected are each a lesson making children aware of the dangers in the world. For instance, Rotkäppchen pronounced ROAT - kepp - shen (Little Red Riding Hood) is about adult men predators preying on young girls. They reflect reality and how unjust and cruel it is.
