Wait, she breaks the curse by throwing him against a wall? Wow, how heartfelt

[@herralfredjc2442]

As a German, in the traditional story I was told as a kid, she first tries to kill the frog at dinner by throwing him into her soup and making it a soup with cooked frog, she does this after she asks her dad the king, if he would please call the cook to catch the frog and boil him, but he declines, also she doesn't put him into the corner but throws him into it, then when he jumps on the bed, well you already know this part, after she slammed him at the wall, she also tries to kill him by hitting him with her pillow (and in some versions she tries to pierce him with a knife into the wall). In the end the frog turns into a prince and it is revealed that as a young boy he had a very violent attitude against most of God's creatures (humans, animals, etc.), so he was put under a curse turning him into an animal, until he has experienced the same amount of violence and neglection. When he turns into a prince he is so happy about that, that he marries her, besides her trying to kill him numerous times. (I remember a satirical version of this famous fairy tail making fun about this part.) In the end Heinrichs iron bands were only stable enough to hold the powers of sadness, but not those of happiness, because they are boundless, so he explodes. The rest is like explained in the video.

It became extremely popular and famous, Obama and other famous people have dined there, and her restaurant was part of the inspiration for the princess and the frog. I have been to the restaurant and there is an illustration of tiana and the owner of the restaurant sitting down where tiana thanks her for the ideas for the movie.

Is it time to tell you, that we germans have a much longer version? So... after throwing thee Frogprince on the wall and he transformes back he is like: "No way I marry a spoiled child like you" and got picked up by Heinrich. Heinrich took him back to his castle but the princess started to follow them because she was sorry and fall in love with the Beauty of the prince. But she lost track and cried when mother sun took pity on the princess. She brought her back on track and gave her a magic egg that she should use then she needed help. So the princess went on, but lost track again. Again she cried and this time father moon took pity. The brought her back on track and also gave her a magic egg to use then she needed it. So the princess moved on and wonder oh wonder: got lost! This time brother wind was like: "I'll do it right!" an brought her to th castle of the frogprince. There she got her third magic egg and went into th castle. But she was that dirty, that thy mistook her for a servent girl. The prince meanwile got an other princess to marry her in 3 days. So our princess took the first egg from the sun and out came a beautyful golden dress. That dress got the attention of the bride and she demanded to take th dress. Our princess agreed but only if she could spend the night nexto the prince. The bride was like: "Sounds fair" and so she spend the night nexto her sleeping prince crying and begging for his forgivness. Next day she took the egg from the moon and got a stunning silver dress. Again the bride wanted the dress and was fine with the other girl sleeping nexto her boyfriend. So angain the princess layed down nexto ther sleeping prince and begged for his forgiveness. So the last day befor the wedding came and the princess used her last magic egg from wich she got the prettiest wedding dress on earth. The bride was like: "I NEED THAT! Same as usual?" But this time the prince got the feeling something was wrong. He pretended to sleep while the bride and the princess switched places and heared the princes crying, begging his forgiveness and wishing him the best for his days because he deserved better than a spoiled child like her. Now the prince was like: "thats what I wanted to hear!" He cancled the wedding, took his princess and went back with her to her fathers kingdom to marry her. on the way back we got the sceane with the iron breaking from Heinrichs heart and all lived happiely ever after...

[@samuelvine]

When I was a kid I really liked the retelling of this fairy tale done by "Adventures from the Book of Virtues" TV show. In that retelling the story is mostly the same until the Princess and the Frog get to her room, where she places him on an uncomfortable bench instead of her soft bed (his request was to simply sleep on the most comfortable pillow instead of in bed with her). While the Frog is thanking the Princess for her most comfortable pillow (while he's shifting around uncomfortably), the Princess feels guilty for being dishonest thanks to the words of her father and she places him on the bed explaining that she was sorry for her dishonesty and that this new pillow was the most comfortable she had. At that moment he transforms into a Prince, shocking everyone. The former Frog explains that because he had once been dishonest to a fairy he was cursed to be a Frog until he found someone who could understand the value of keeping promises. Then it's back to marriage, etc. but no Iron Heimlich.

Thank you so much for not leaving out that part with loyal Heinrich - even in the German versions of the story it's often left out or told separately, but I always thought it was such an important part of the story :) Funny side note: The literal translation of the German title is actually not "The Frog Prince" but "The Frog King"

[@ParanormalEncyclopedia]

Technically Faciiar’s magic is more correctly called Hoodoo. Voodoo is an Afro Caribbean religion combining tribal beliefs with Christianity, particularly Catholicism magic is fairly common in the religion but it’s not a necessary part. Hoodoo is a form of magic combining African practices with European folk magic and witchcraft. Once again it’s possible to practice hoodoo without being a member of the Voodoo religion, indeed some neo pagans and even Catholics use some of the charms without delving into the religious side. As an aside Facilier’s appearance was inspired by Baron Samedi one of the most important loa (spirits worshipped in Voodoo But not technically gods) the loa of cross roads, magic and the dead (he’s actually kind of a party animal with a fondness for rum and tobacco odd for a patron of the dead). His shadow taking on a life if it’s own btw is something out of European myths about witches.

[@lunayen]

As a Catholic I have yet to hear from anyone about magic in Catholicism. Specially when Catholics were prone to burn anyone who had "magical abilities."

[@kenhollis6197]

@@lunayen It's probably primarily confined to Louisiana, where Hoodoo as well as Voodoo are prevalent. It would stand to reason that, over time, they would "overlap," if you will, with Catholicism in common practices. Many of the charms and spells in Hoodoo call upon the saints, something neighboring Catholics can relate to.

The princess heard the frog weeping, began to pity him and kissed the frog in the head to consoled him and that when he turned into a prince. This one is pretty soft and wholesome.

The Frog Princess was such a cute book and though I loved the Disney movie, I hated that they called it an adaptation of the book.

[@Moonstar79]

The disney version wasn't based off of the original tale, it was based off a nother adaption by E.D. Baker. Basically, a clutzy princess named Emma (Tiana) who was disliked by her mother for being terrible at everything and only loved by her aunt spent a lot of time in a swamp until she met a sarcastic talking frog there named Eadric (Naveen). Eadric begged her to kiss him so he could be human, which she did on the second day of his pleas. However, because she was wearing a magic charm that reversed any negative spells, it conked out and turned her into a frog as well. The story follows their travels to a witch's hut where they met a bat and a snake (Ray and Louis). After escaping imprisonment by the witch once realizing it wasn't the same witch who turned him into a frog, they travel back to the palace, where Emma's aunt (Charlotte aka Lotti) figured out how to turn them human again. Once they did kiss 2.0 without the spell-reversing charm, Eadric revealed that he was in love with Emma, and the book ends with them being together and spirals into a series.

[@herralfredjc2442]

First of all great video, you make some of the best videos on these old stories I ever seen and I enjoy each and every one of them. As a German, in the traditional story I was told as a kid, she first tries to kill the frog at dinner by throwing him into her soup and making it a soup with cooked frog, she does this after she asks her dad the king, if he would please call the cook to catch the frog and boil him, but he declines, also she doesn't put him into the corner but throws him into it, then when he jumps on the bed, well you already know this part, after she slammed him at the wall, she also tries to kill him by hitting him with her pillow (and in some versions she tries to pierce him with a knife into the wall). In the end the frog turns into a prince and it is revealed that as a young boy he had a very violent attitude against most of God's creatures (humans, animals, etc.), so he was put under a curse turning him into an animal, until he has experienced the same amount of violence and neglection. When he turns into a prince he is so happy about that, that he marries her, besides her trying to kill him numerous times. (I remember a satirical version of this famous fairy tail making fun about this part.) In the end Heinrichs iron bands were only stable enough to hold the powers of sadness, but not those of happiness, because they are boundless, so he explodes. The rest is like explained in the video.

[@kittycheshire5099]

Technically, The Princess and the Frog is an adaptation of the children's novel The Frog Princess, by E.D. Baker, which is a retelling of the Frog Prince. Therefore, it is a retelling of a retelling of The Frog Prince. There is a crucial step in the evolution of this movie that you have ignored.

Ok I know this us really late, but I want to say some thoughts? I once had these books called the "Princess & The Frog" and it was a set of two books. It follows a princess who has a curse on the females of her family. So her aunt (the witch of the castle) trying to protect her niece, gives her a bracelet that reverses spells. The princess not knowing this ended up kissing the frog but sadly cause her bracelet SHE became a frog as well and went on these adventures to find a way to break the curse, learning about her family curse along the way. Great read so recommend picking it up. 0w0

Could you please do Pinocchio I would really appreciate it very much. And also I love how you describe everything keep the good work up 👌😀

[@darrylthompson7509]

Pinocchio is dark?

[@melissatheneko930]

No one is a bit freaked out about the iron bands breaking?

[@unaclarke112]

I remember reading another version of this story where the Princess was out strolling in her yard where she met the frog Prince in her pond and he confess to her about the curse he was Plague with. He told her the olny way to break the curse was with true loves kiss. With all of this information out in the open the Princess began to pick up the frog Prince and the frog Prince preparing for their kiss but because Princess was French she instead took him back inside the castle, put him in a pot of hot water where he was boild alive and later his legs were served to the princess for dinner, in her family's curiosity they asked he what she was eating and she simply replied frogs legs

[@tash1248]

I grew up with this version!! Then again, I am German and grew up with the actual German version❤️❤️❤️

[@mylifeascarlos4410]

Do the origin story of superman like not the planet one but the grim brothers

Grimm often took older stories and folktales and twisted them to fit the time period they lived in, the original story may be about Agrippina Minor (mother) and Nero (son), where the golden ball is the power over the Empire that she loses control over to Nero that sometime was depicted as a frog, this is something I think sounds posible, but still just speculations. Self do I think Disney's version and story is the best one, and one thing with folktales is that they shall change and be adapted to the folk.

[@VianneyCreates]

I guess this is like Chris Rock's bit where he says something like "you've never truly loved someone unless you've contemplated their murder." I don't understand how the curse is broken by the frog being smashed against the wall.

[@Ali-zn6sg]

The Princess and the Frog was based on the book " The Frog Princess" by E. D. Baker, also the Russian fairy tale. Not The Frog Prince.

[@emefufmy]

Oml, I just realised how I already knew most of these messed up origins. I have a fairytale book with older versions written in it.

[@fragphil]

Thanks for your time and research. This was my first time to watch your content and it was very interesting. I will pass it on to my friends and subscribed. God bless.

[@kyleesewell7396]

Do Pocahontas

[@teiganr8159]

Kylee Sewell yes PLEASE

[@wookieninja8794]

Ah yes... Brother's Grimm doing it right. Princess makes a deal, goes back on her deal, is forced to uphold her end of the deal, tries to kill the one the deal was with, and gets rewarded by marrying a prince.....moral of the story? Both good and bad things happen to both good and bad people.

[@rebecca9185]

My oma (grandma) used to live in germany and i vaguely remember her telling me this story. i remember the golden ball but not much else. now it all makes sense XD

[@lucyvillasenor8966]

I LOVE THE BROTHERS GRIMM (even tho I’m only 9 And gets scared very easily)

[@misseli1]

"What the farts man?"

[@johannalein37]

I am pretty sure that in my german story version the prince wanted to eat, sleep and get a kiss. The princess was beautiful and he kind of had a crush on her. So he dives down to the ground over and over again until he had her golden ball. But she was mean and disrespectful to him. And first she threw him to the wall but her father wants to teach her a lesson about doing what you promised and said even if she is a princess she have to give him this kiss because he supported her when she had a problem. She gives him the kiss in tears and was really discussed. Bibedibabedibu he turns into a prince and she instantly fell in love with him but he has seen what a bad person she is and did not want her anymore and drove away. 🙌🏻

[@itzalxd5993]

I don't get why your channel still hasn't reached a million, your vids are awesome!

[@CJ19959]

I think we all need a loyal Heinrich in our lives

[@wendychavez5348]

Loyal Heinrich is AWESOME!

[@insylem]

I didn't know Disney made a Princess and the Frog movie.

[@valndrisavalkina3497]

46th Comment. Awesome Video!

[@fishsauce5250]

Ok

[@ButterflyQueene07]

IMO, the main characters in the original version are despicable. The princess is shallow, selfish, and spoiled; and the frog blackmailed her into being his friend. When she throws him against the wall, he transforms back into a prince, and those two live happily ever after?! What message does that send? Also, because of the fact that the frog prince blackmailed the princess into being his friend, it makes me wonder why the enchantress changed him into a frog in the first place. Maybe he blackmailed her, too, I don't know. But I did read an updated version of this story a few years ago where the frog was glad to help retrieve the princess's ball without a reward. And she was still as nasty as ever, but the frog at least was a decent character. I forgot who wrote the story, but I thought it was awesome. As soon as I remember the author's name, I'll tell you. Anyway, keep up the good work. Your channel is awesome!

[@sassymonkey4487]

Jon please do Peter pan

[@kingusernamelxixthemagnificent]

I was expecting him to transform her into the frog at the end.

[@tokyodeathghoul2313]

Peter Pan or Aladdin

[@Zeeratman]

PeirceTheChemicalBlackVeil i think he did the Aladdin already

[@tokyodeathghoul2313]

tiger and becca nope.

[@bisslb]

We actually made a play of that original story in elementary school We even baked some muffins and ate them for 'dinner' I got to play the frog, just because I was the only one with a plain green dress and since we couldn't afford actual costumes the teacher said "welp, you're playing the frog, sweetie" But it was fiiiine. In our Version we made the princess slap the frog since my friend couldn't throw me on the wall, duh, buut it was great actually And I got to keep all the remained muffins since my role apparently was the hardest one to play (which totally wasn't but I ain't tellin her that, I wanted those muffins)

[@animebomb]

Yay, I like your disney videos

[@becademarques]

I'm not sure if I'm happy or scared by the fact my dad read all those original stories to me when I was a kid. Every time I watched a Disney movie I got confused cause "Wait... Didn't that girl slice off the toe to get into the shoe? Where did that go?" or "I thought she had tried to kill him, not kiss him". I may or may not be a bit messed up now.

[@gremmy7594]

The princess seems a tad bit.....

[@theotomeotakuhorrorfan9154]

Nightweb Shadows Spoiled Bratty Bitchy Inconsiderate Selfish Rude Heartless Want me to continue? When I read the story I wanted to slap that girl so hard and give her a good reason to cry... Her father went easy on her but I'm greatful that he put his daughter in her place...

[@faristasairuv5143]

Racist?

[@jenn4593]

The Otome Otaku Horror Fan So you want a frog to sleep with you in your bed?

[@humananonymous7927]

The Otome Otaku Horror Fan Everyone here is stupid . To be honest both the prince and princess are stupid . The prince is stupid and shallow . And the princess is also stupid and shallow . They both will not have a happily ever after

[@shespawntwin1]

@@jenn4593 if that frog got me my prized possession back, I sure as hell would feed him and let him sleep in my bed. Fuck, I'd feed him by hand, clean him off, bring him in my room, give him his own jammies, tuck him in my bed right next to me, and kiss him goodnight on the head. Then again, I might be biased cuz I owned frogs and loved to play with them.

[@ParasolMushroomStudios]

Great video! I love how you tell these stories with a modern twist. Keeps me amused. xD

[@diablosauce6306]

Who writes these stories?!?! Wtf?!

[@JauraLean]

They are all old stories, the grimm brothers wrote them down since most were just verbally shared.

[@ooohheldenring9770]

Bubbli Bunni the brothers grim. Most old Disney princess movies are originally by them
