Sleeping Beauty: Disney Vs. Perrault

The step-sisters see their wrongs, only when they find out who Cinderella really is, they ask her for forgiveness.

Invites her step-sisters to live in the palace with the Prince and herself. However, this is not the case in the Brothers Grimm short story, Aschenputtel, which is not as forgiving as Cinderella. When the Prince finally figures out who Aschenputtel is, he takes her away to the palace to marry her.

There are two tales to the story Snow White, the popular one is the happy child’s version, and the lesser know one, said to be the original, the Grimm brothers take on Snow White. In both stories that have a happy ending, but how they get there is differs in may ways.

Also in both stories, Cinderella still fits into the slipper and the step-sister are caught for trying to be Cinderella. However in the Disney’s Cinderella everyone lives happily ever after. In contrast, in Grimm’s Cinderella the step-sisters do not live happily ever after instead they are blinded by the birds pecking their eyes out. Another difference between the two stories is in Disney’s Cinderella the two step-sisters try to put their feet into the slipper, but it was obvious that they were both too big, then Cinderella tried it one and it fit just right. However in Grimm’s Cinderella the two step-sisters cut their heels and toes to fit into the slipper.

Contrast of a Classic Tale There are over 500 versions of the story “Cinderella” in the world. Each of these versions have their own characteristics and are slightly different from other stories. Many people are familiar with “Cinderella” because of the Disney film, but it was first written as a story before it was made into a movie. “The Little Glass Slipper” by Charles Perrault was changed by Disney to appeal to children. “The Little Glass Slipper” and “Aschenputtel” by the Brothers Grimm are two very common Cinderella stories.

While many think Cinderella it is thought of a poor girl that had a good life with her parents. Cinderella had a mother and a Father at the beginning of all three versions of Cinderella. The Father figure and Cinderella had a terrible woman live with them because The Father thought that Cinderella would need a Mother figure since her biological mother had passed away, right? Well, many people think that but what if the ways the interpretation of Cinderella is about to change.
