Simsala Grimm - King Thrushbeard part 2 of 2

[@lilgrimmapple]

Yeah...the king took it a little too far. She was finally getting the hang of hard work and humility, but she still got punished for it.

[@MissyMona]

I liked it but I feel like the moral of the story is sorta lost. Seriously I understand not making the Princess spoiled but...the King took it to a new level. I mean making her sleep on a chair and breaking every single pot she worked so hard to make was...a jerk move. Not just about teaching her a lesson it felt like it was taken to a new level. Because by the time she made those pots she had started to act better by the end of it the King seemed like a jerk too just not as bad.

[@donutbevil9669]

It was a test to see if she would fall back to being a spoiled child. He wanted her to understand the feeling of loss and how hard it is for people with less than her who do experience it. And, also, to learn how to take responsibility.

[@RekEStore32]

3:55 I think a lot of people agreed with Doc Croc and Yoyo telling the guy off!

[@Eszra]

Now the one thing I don't like about this story, which ever you prefer either King Grizzlebeard, Thrusbeard or King Rough-Beard, is that it's has a horrible moral! And before you say it's about not to judge someone's appearance or be prideful and spoiled, that's what they were going for but they did not get that! First off, the King made his daughter spoiled, he taught her to be prideful, she learned everything from him! Children learn from their parents, but it went to far. When the King didn't get his way because of the damage he had done, behind her back he pretty much sold his own child away because he didn't want to deal with the monster he created. Not only that but the young King is no angel either! The moment he saw the Princess that was all he wanted, he wanted her because she was beautiful, that's it! He made the deal with her Father to which they both agree'd to mentally abuse the Princess in to becoming subservient. Making her work is fine, but terrifying her and scaring mentally with the horse and mind you his own people, and humiliating her in front of his court until she broke down in tears is ABUSE! What a great moral, abuse a spoiled Princess until she's does what you want! A subservient Wife!

[@Ani-yt6qz]

Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one! She was sold by her father, clearly forced into a marriage she didn't want, (which is not a true marriage) and thrush beard IS abusive. Coming from some one with family and friends who have been abused, I can see elements of it in this story. I don't care if it's a fairy tale or not, it's actually pretty horrid to watch. I do like the other episodes though.

[@zvonimirtomac7896]

Eszra Even those two had to scold him for doing that stupid horse thing.

[@TheAngelmisa]

Anette Eszra In the grims fairy tales anime version of king thrushbeard the princess was really mean and cruel and she became a better person I didn't mind king thrushbeard . Taming of the shrew is alot worse.

[@wintersnow4413]

Eszra Yeah I was thinking most of this too.What kind of story adaptation is this?Make her sleep like an animal,have her build confidence by learning something new and then hire someone to deliberately ruin all her work?And the story just goes on like this until she cries?This is HORRIBLY abusive just to teach a lesson.And like you said,the king only wanted someone beautiful he could train like a dog.If this is how the princess was treated during the day, what was the wedding night like???

[@dustbunny4544]

I was going to post a comment about the mental abuse but you beat me to it✌

[@SoDarlingDontLetMeGo]

Oh my gosh! No way, I remember those two little characters from when I was younger!! I totally forgot about them until I saw them come up! Thank you so much for posting this!! King Thrushbeard always has been my most favourite Brothers Grimm story

[@christineking2855]

Knowing about Thrush Beard makes me compare him to Blue Beard. These two are the complete polar opposite of each other.

[@ANewShadeOfBlue]

@lostfromview: I think the prince probably could have used a few of those lessons.

[@Floweramon]

There's a much better short adaptation called King Grizzlebeard, which I feel does the story more justice. And the breaking of the pots makes more sense and is slightly less awful in that version.

[@madisonmcarthur2422]

so weight he falls in love with her gets her father to force her to marry him then he tests he to see if shes good enough for him? tack responsibility if you marry her wright away based on her looks then you have to deal with the consensuses, this guys pretty much just being a dick what makes him so grate she has to earn him?. ya i can understand if it was a curse or something but no its just him going around and messing with her. its like if now a days you drunk marry some one force them to stay with you then put them thou a bunch of stupid tests for some reason, and what would happened if she failed? shes princes ya she may be spoiled and act like a brat but you were the one who made her marry you,

[@RancidGravy]

Madison McArthur He falls in love with her, sees her potential, and works out a plan to teach her to be better. Hard working, modest, grateful... It's tough love. He's kind and loving, other than what needs to be done.

[@lotusjewell9984]

No dumbass, he was trying to make her into a decent person who actually cared about things because all she was in the beginning was a spoiled rotten b*t*h

[@j.i.r608]

@@lotusjewell9984 Maybe she was a spoiled brat, but that doesn't excuse him for deceiving her like that!

[@RancidGravy]

I love this story. People can talk shit all they want, but he saw her potential, and loved her enough to work out a way to teach her good character. He was kind and loving, outside of what was necessary for the plan. Just look, how he indulged in a mirror for her hard work, and her smile at the kiss.

[@Gracejkay]

I agree with you mostly. Although i do believe he took it way too far when it came to the horse part and destroying all the pots she made. I understand she needed to learn hard work because she was a spoiled brat, but her father made her that way. Also, she might’ve been vain... but thrushbeard only liked her for her looks as well. Also, the prince didn’t have to destroy all the pots she made when she was already showing redeeming qualities. She was starting to have a better attitude. If they hadn’t shown him destroying her pots, this actually would’ve been a fantastic story.

[@RancidGravy]

Gracejkay I don't think it shows it in this version, but she chose a dangerous spot to set out her stuff because she was disgusted by the other sellers and refused their advice. She just argues with that lady and what's worse, wins in this version. :3 It was pretty harsh though. I don't think he only saw her looks. If that was the case, he would either have been a lot harsher to break her spirit, or would have let her stay a bitch. And yes, it was totally her father's fault she was such a gigantic offensive brat. The story's not really about him though.

[@Gracejkay]

VR VR I agree. I seen another version after this one where she was rude to people and the pot breaking thing made leagues more sense 😂😂 I liked it much better, cause this one didn’t show her nasty attitude towards the people there. I love the story a lot once I seen that version

[@emilysclone]

I like this show. Wish I could get it on dvd for my niece.

[@balmian]

"mouse to mouse resuscitation." HA!

[@CanzetYote]

Sadly, this and Hansel And Gretel are the only English episodes on KZbin yet I'm addicted to them. I mainly find myself watching them for Yoyo, though. He is SO CUTE!

[@tigerqueen007]

At least the princess learns not to be spoiled.

[@InsainCat]

Love it when abuse is romanticized.

[@RancidGravy]

InsainCat Productions Yeah, that king was a total dick, spoiling the shit out of his daughter, letting her do as she pleased then marrying her off to some rando out of irritation.

[@ANewShadeOfBlue]

OK, does anyone know what the moral of this story is suppose to be, because I'm really lost here.

[@lostfromview]

@ANewShadeOfBlue Humility, respect, being grateful for what you have, the value of hard work, learning to respect persons of all stations, etc.

[@nadiamajed2912]

I used to watch this all the time when I was a kid oh gd memories

[@shadownight5294]

the original King Grizzlebeard get the message of this story better out. Quite some important details missing from this one. It only make the prince look cruel, when what he was traying to do is to teatch her life lessons and make her understand that she should not look down on ppl. SPOILER like whit the solider breaking the pots/baskets, in the other one, he did it because she was rude whit the other sellers being kind offering her a spot beside them, that she ignored and instead put up shop in the middle where riders and other ppl was walking, as in not even a market shop spot, kind of like ppl setting up shops on the road instead of beside it yust to get away from ppl she did not look on as important. while in this one he is yust breaking the stuff for no reason at all since in this one it even was a market spot making, even a lady puting up a store there for years so the hole breaking pots part was unecessary in this one and make no sence.

[@sunnyride89]

6:56 that scene does not match the tone of the voice at all, unless that is meant to be a very zen angry walk

[@j.i.r608]

Why did the chef get so angry with her for dropping the plate? It's his fault! He's the one who slapped her butt! Unfortunately, there wereno laws against sexual harassment/assault back then; so there wasn't really anything she could do about it

[@silverMellow]

I remember this as my favorite episode other than the Rumpelstiltskin one.

[@marchofthefrogs]

After re-watching this, I have to take back my statement on Yoyo and Doc Croc. I like especially Doc. But when I watched this, I didn't know what it was and had just finished watching King Grizzlebeard. I still don't prefer this version of Thrushbeard, but I understand now that the value and what makes this series different and special is that it has two recurring characters with a bunch of personality that actually interact with the story. It's different and that's what makes it good.

[@thefkareyalookinat94]

My childhood!! Upload more episodes plzz

[@Bhimbim021107]

greaaaaaaaaaatt !!!, post more fairy or folk talesss !.

[@darabounds6671]

I read this story often as a child, but in my story book he was kind Hawknose. I personally like the story. I like my version better, because I feel like the 2 main characters that watch it play out as 3rd parties kind of ruin one of the twists of hawknose being the horse man. Another small but notable detail my book had better was that hawknose said that he and the old king planned this all after she turned him down. In this one he instead abandoned his bratty child. I still really like this story. Shame that all seem to see in the comments is how this story is too harsh on the princess and how the prince is mean for doing this.

[@TheAngelmisa]

Dara Bounds I actually don't mind yoyo and croc atleast its not dumb pooh adventures . Pooh adventures crossover are pure cringe

[@ceilamares1986]

this story is crap the way he treated her I understand that he wanted to teach her to value things and what not come on now I would have been so mad at him he only wanted her for her looks and the only reson he tried to teach her hard work was for her to ect him at the end🖕🖕💯

[@Elizabeththegreatest]

Was the chef singing La Marsiellese? Bit early for that!

[@LeahsPeaches]

Basically its about the princess,who is very haughty and proud,and because of this,she is ordered by her father,to marry the first beggar who comes to the castle.So it happens that the first beggar who comes is King ThrushB, dressed up as a beggar,and who she called names during a previous ball.Not knowing this,she marries the beggar and he finds ways to end her haughtiness by smashing the pots,and asking her to dance,spilling her food all over the ground humiliating her.Moral:don't be proud.

[@samanthamiller3546]

@@RancidGravy I agree if you Truly Love somone you go threw alot to help me deep n more then anyone else n I think King Thrushbeard is kinda like a hero to her n he taught her a very good lesson that she desserved. I admit she was a little abused. But as a strong selfish person she was she needed a big ponishment so she can learn n become a better person. Cause it's very hard to teach n change spoiled selfish people. Plus I know alot about abused people exspechiolly from familys I know alot about cause I been abused by my family for 20 years living like Cinderella by my blood family my family wouldn't even let me go to school. I'm serious. N I been around alot of big selfish lazy people that get what ever they want n never think of others n hurt others n ruen there life. So actually I think King Thrushbeard did alot for her n taught her a lesson that she desserved n forgave her n was a gentleman n very smart. N believed her could make her Change to be a better good person

[@Nixie3545]

okay wtf were Yoyo and Doc thinking here?! 5:08

[@universesavior554]

I think they wanted to make fun of the chef

[@creativeheart8972]

Could be but they ended up making trouble for the princess as well. Even though they're suppose to be helping her that's the part I don't get.

[@GoldPurpleGotic]

I like this story and all but HOW CAN'T SHE SEE THAT HE IS THE KING,he only puts a moustache as a cover

[@RancidGravy]

GoldPurpleGotic I thought about it and it's probably because she didn't give a shit about any of the thirty three dudes she trash talked.

[@user-pi3hd2bt3f]

I think the story is pretty good. The king seems to be a good man so i doubt its all his fault his daughter ended up so spoiled. Maybe she wasn't even that spoiled but didn't want to marry She was always complaining about everything so her hisband decided to shos her what REAL poverty feels like. And about him ruining her work Well she humilieted him so its just about right for him to do the same.

[@JoshuaParris83]

For some reason in my opinion, I don't like this version of "King Thrushbeaerd". The princess didn't seemed to be Remorseful or Apologetic for her actions in any way.

[@Eszra]

+Joshua Parris Any version of this story is crap. It's nothing about mental abuse until the Princess becomes subservient. You should the comment I left on the video. Thought in this one it's more like she gets to be rich again and the young Kings gets what he wants, a beautiful Queen. By the way it was her looks that he feel in love with and that's it, all he wanted was her because of her looks. Everything else was what I said above, abuse until turned subservient. The other versions are more like that, this just reeks of no moral at all and just reeks, though you gotta love the original animation the new stuff is horrible!

[@JoshuaParris83]

+Eszra Have you even looked @ Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics King Grizzle Beard??? Now That is the best one so far.

[@Eszra]

***** More detail but same thing really. I will say that the original is still better because of the detail, for the most part.

[@JoshuaParris83]

Eszra But The princess in that Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics version of " "King Thrushbeaerd" learned a lesson there.

[@Eszra]

***** Still abused in to it and her husband still only wanted her because of her looks.

[@wintersnow4413]

Well that's twenty minutes of my life I'll never get back.An ugly princess, a forced marriage and two useless characters who did nothing but talk to each other most of the story.Pretty sure nobody lived happily ever after in this series.Not to mention that the art is so awful it looks like a cheap coloring book...
