Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics - The Coat of Many Colors (DVD Quality)

[@KaariMishidozi]

You know it's pretty interesting seeing a princess go through PTSD as she lives with the king/prince. It does provide a bit of drama since she does want to be with him but somethings, even little things, could trigger her horrific ordeal with her father. Glad she got a happy end, she deserves it.

[@tristancarter4324]

it much happier than the original where he do find her

[@frankpetersen6624]

Crazy as I think my latest PTSD fog that I’ve been in, has been flashbacks and repressed memories of what my life was like until my father left us, when I was 13. Finally feeling back to normal, but wow. Crazy I just read that.

[@WarriorMondenkind]

@@tristancarter4324 Do you have a source for that version?

[@h193013]

I’m not sure if this was the intent but I thought the story could be a metaphor for sexual assault. Some children are assaulted by relatives and even their own parents.

[@Kilvieo]

I think I figured out why the prince doesn't mind doing manual labor. He mentioned that both of his parents are deceased, so it's possible that his parents died before they could've fully enforce rules of being royalty into his life. That being said, he was most likely influenced surrounded by the behavior of common folks instead.

[@queenninjabunny]

It is more interesting to see someone being realistic by a trauma, most in fairy tales these days wanna make people so perfect. In this story you can see fairy tale person is just as human you are when princess was suffering PTSD from her father who became mentally unwell trying force her into sick thing.

[@magicalpasta5462]

I love this episode, I too also have PTSD, luckily I found my prince 🥰😍

[@Kilvieo]

So do I, except I don't have my own prince, at least not yet. But that's okay, because I don't need one to be strong 😌

[@queenninjabunny]

@@Kilvieo We are more stronger when we have whole village or one person at her side to guide us from hardships. We need to back to that.

@@magicalpasta5462 Right? I even had PTSD myself, it happens randomly and it will stop long time then one day something trigger it by flashback drama. People need go back making stuff like this when characters look more human than 3rd avatar.

[@lusius82]

In the Arabic version, her ordeal was with her father’s minister, not her father himself, and it was slightly distorted because the anime was directed to children and so that the stories fit Arab customs and traditions.

[@rlewis36]

I can remember watching this in 2nd grade and being so enchanted by it and her dresses and the story. It's so fun seeing it again so many years later.

[@bethanyhaffey975]

The coat of many colors is almost similar to the donkey skin story. The father of that princess tried to marry her too and she didn't trust anyone at first either. Every time I hear stories like this one, it breaks my heart.

[@bethanyhaffey975]

And when she put her ring in the soup, that's a scene that reminds me of a scene from the story called cap o' redishies. It's a tail from "animated tales of the world."

[@pinokosthewife]

Yeah, Donkeyskin, the She-Bear, Allerleirauh/Thousand-fur (this one, The Coat of Many Colors)... there’s a number of fairy tales like this and you’re right, they are sad, but it’s also oddly comforting to have stories like this, since there are girls and boys out there dealing with stuff like this. It’s good to have a story that can give them hope too.

[@bethanyhaffey975]

@@pinokosthewife yeah, that's what I love about stories like this too. I've read donkey skin before but never those other ones before. I'm going to look up those stories tomorrow. They sound very interesting.

[@Starhartdeer]

I really like the themes of double lives and transformation. I like how she was stooped over and downcast while in the fur coat, but bright and upright while in the dresses (which were fantastic). This is also one of the darker stories of this series :o such a scary opening! If only we had the original audio tracks!

[@magicalpasta5462]

Tbh for an anime made in the mid and late 80's I do like how respectful they treated CPTSD, and as someone with CPTSD I do relate to the princess

[@molinagrn65]

Yeah, it pleasantly surprised me how well they did it. Even utilizing Alea feeling triggered by happy moments or memories, I kinda wished more people acknowledged it more but I’m happy it was handled pretty well as well as her getting a happy ending. 😌

This movie gave me nightmares as a kid. It had never occurred to me at 8 years old that a father could want to marry his own daughter, thankfully my dad wasnt a creep but I did look at him differently for a while haha. But the rest of the movie is great, so after a while I just fast forwarded the VHS tape until she was free of him and all the trauma was over

[@grumpykitten4890]

I remember that opening sequence and song and I started singing it as well, not all of it but parts. This is blast from the past for me. KZbin did me a solid by recommending this one. Its been so long since I saw this. A man of 42 years is having flashbacks to childhood right now. This is sweet!

[@Artretha]

I never got to see this episode as a kid, but I think that's because they kept this off the series for most US airings of it. I'm familiar with the actual fairy tale, of course.

14:52 That’s right, folks. The same channel that aired Dora the Explorer and Paw Patrol actually aired a show with attempted incest….

[@asianguyimagicrenation]

What channel? Paw patrol and Dora are new cartoons probably released in 2000s This Grimm fairy tales series is an Anime series released in 1980s. Old children cartoons like before 1990 children cartoons are usually darker and more uncensored than modern children cartoons. Especially Japanese children cartoons are more likely to be less childish than American children cartoons

[@michaelhobbs3426]

She is very scared of her past that’s why she find it hard to trust the prince at first due to be married by a king she could not trust how dare he the poor thing I do hope that she will learn to know he is a kind man this one is not like an evil one so the king was her father no way

[@erickpenn3143]

What a fairy tale, a father want to get married with his own daughter

[@asianguyimagicrenation]

Original stories of the fairy tales are a lot a lot darker than what American children cartoon portray. This Grimm fairy tales series are a bit identical to the original fairy tales. That's why it's a little bit darker compared to the Disney versions. Most of the original stories of the Fairy tales are usually aim towards adults.

[@GirlsRuleTheWorld2023]

The Brothers Grimm were apparently very sick minded men.... But, their stories are legendary and enduring.

[@magicwandstudio3141]

why they are sick minded?

[@mississippimillionaire3790]

@@magicwandstudio3141 ..... Go read the original versions of their Fairytales and their depraved nature should be clear to any sane person..

[@ShayLaLaLooHoo]

​@mississippimillionaire3790 ...No? They weren't depraved? They were recording the folk and fairy tales of their times, which were usually cautionary tales told by women to their children. The stories were bleak because they reflected a bleak world. For example, this story has a father going insane and seeking to marry his daughter because people _do_ go insane and some parents _do_ abuse their children. But the protagonists find happy endings because they are good have faith that things will work out--in fact, the Grimm Brothers sometimes changed the stories' endings to be _happier._ Judging the Brothers Grimm to be bad people just because some characters (especially villainous characters) do bad things is a shallow, anti-intellectual take on stories as a whole.

Its famouse tale. Actually the king wife before she died ask the king to promise to marry a women who is more beautiful than her ( i dont know the reason for that request but maybe she want to make difficult for him to find a cruel step mother for the daughter) after many years searching he couldn't find some one matching his latest wife beauty except his daughter. Of course the daughter ask a fairy what to do so first ask adress like stars than second asked a dress like moon after that a dress like sun so she thought it will be hard mission for her father but every time she ask for something he did it. The father have a donky who loves very much because if feed her nice food she'll give you gold. So the fairy told her to ask the father to kill the precious donkey and give her the skin to make a dress which he did. So finally she decided to take her things and run of course wearing the donkey skin which making everyone mocking her. You know the rest and the king have mother who refuse to marry this dirty girl but he still want her. In the wedding her father apologized for his insane behavior and they lived happily ever after . I notice they change it from donkey to dogs/fox. I heard its french fairy tale originally. 🥰
