Yes, something about Tangled, but no spoilers.
I was able to see the new movie Tangled with my youngest over the long Thanksgiving weekend. It was good little show. As with all Disney movies, it was a little be removed from the original story. A good family show that I recommend to all, but that is all I’m going say about it.
As I sit thinking back to this and other fairy tales, and I think back to the origin of these types of stories. They were all lessons to be learned. Morals for a good life. Things happened when you disobeyed. Hard times happened and the stories did not always have happy endings.
Now a funny thing happened when our society grew up, we no longer had the same needs. The endings of the stories were changed. Then we ended with “everyone lived happily ever after.” Not real life, but everything was cleansed for the children.
I remember reading the stories as a child, and of course these were the updated versions. As an adult, I remember finding some of the original stories. The endings weren’t as nice. People died. They were tortured. Life was not good and they didn’t live happily ever after.
Interesting…
That’s the Repunzel I remember (the REAL version). But I’m excited to see the new Disney version, but I don’t know when I’ll have time for that…. hopefully soon!
I do remember reading some of the original Brother’s Grimm tales. Grimm for a reason. But how I do enjoy a good Disney flick!
Saw it last night – perfect for little girls, and the adults REALLY liked it too!! Perfect Disney Fairy Tale!
