When I was a little girl my mother bought a huge book of fairy tales. It was all of the original dark versions. I remember reading the Brothers Grimm version.

I think that we are easily shocked since we all grew with the disney versions, when the original tales were actually made to scare the children and focused on having a moral more than making the children dream. They were good at it back in the 18th century, glad I'm not born then :)

I don't know if you know but the original story of Cinderella was actually written by Charles Perrault, a French writer, in the 16th Century before being rewritten by the Grimm brothers. In that tale Cinderella did have a fairy Godmother, even though this time, her slippers weren't made of glass either, they were made of fur.

The golden shoe was actually the FIRST night. The ball went on for 3 nights and each night she came in with a different outfit and shoe. Because she ran away from him the first 2 nights, the prince decides that the final night is when he covers the stairs in pitch to keep her from running away.

There are lots of versions and adaptation of cinderella throughout the centuries. In fact, from what I heard, the story originated in ancient Egypt. Apparently, a servant working in the pharaoh palace got one of her sandals stolen by a eagle which ended up falling on the pharaoh himself. Thinking it was a sign from Ra, the pharaoh searched for the sandal's owner and married her. Interesting to see how stories change with time.

The step sisters thought she ate all that bullying up

CORRECTIONS: Actually, Disney's Cinderella is based on the fairy tale of the same name by Charles Perrault. It does have a fairy godmother, a magic pumpkin and glass slippers. Also, the Brothers Grimm didn't write Cinderella. They just adapted it into their collection of stories.

The more gory version with the cutting of the foot parts and eye-gouging is the Grimm version...however the Disney interpretation, and possibly the more well-known, is the 1697 Perrault version, i.e. with the Fairy Godmother rather than the mother and willow tree and birds etc...

I would love to see the original version portrayed on the big screen. I don’t care if the film would be rated R

The Brothers Grimm version of Cinderella is my absolute favorite version 😇

I also remember a version where her mom got turned into a black sheep and got eaten by the step mother and sisters, they even offered Cinderella to eat as well but of course she refused knowing that's her mom, after they ate Cinderella burried the bones under a tree (and the rest is the same)

Brothers Grimm versions of stories were always my favorite growing up as I kid,I always hated Disney movies for how the villains either died off screen or got off too lightly

I know the original story of Cinderella too it’s very disturbing. 😳

Boy o boy. Disney's version made my younger self cry. If I had seen this, i would be scarred for life.

What?!! Cinderella's father actually allowed his own daughter to be abused!!?? I cannot believe that!! 😢

Honestly, if the remakes followed the OG stories more closely, I’d actually enjoy them and they’d actually have a purpose for existing.

No way would I watch a movie with women cutting their freakin feet. The thought makes me crawl in my skin, although hearing the original version of the story is intriguing.

I grew up on both the disney and the grimms cuz here in my country there was always remakes of the original grimm stories on tv and idk i always found them super intresting

Let's pray so there will be a brother grimm version.. As a movie in theaters

The most hilarious thing is that in the book version he was fooled by two women who were not Cinderella. I mean he danced with her and spend an evening with her. Surely he would remember what her face look like😂

but isn't cinderella A version of the Egyptian Myth of " Rhodophis" I mean they maid part from rags to riches unbound kindness help of an upper diety a perfect princess a traumatic early life and basically everything it is like the first version of cinderella

This is not so far-fetched from reality for today. My mom died and my dad had another girlfriend within a month and married her. She immediately cut him off from his first family in every way possible and alienated him from us and now we barely see him.

I wouldn't mind a version of the original story

I just finished reading the grimm brother's version. The father is indeed as evil as Cindy's step mother and sisters.

so in the grimms tale cinderella after cinderella married prince charming, annastala and drizzla got pecked by birds and lady tremiene might be a maid.

Definetly would love to see a remake.

With the exception of the father not being in the cinematic version, Disney did end up essentially releasing the Brothers Grimm version with Into the Woods.

Actually, the Disney film is based on a version of the story by Charles Perrault that's over a century older than the Grimm version, and the film is a lot closer to it. The dad still lives in that version, and he's not portrayed as a jerk. However, he is portrayed as being unbelievably oblivious to Cinderella's suffering, so either way he's the worst character, and that's probably why he's killed off in Disney's version and other versions of the story to follow.

I would like to see the brothers version! :)

At cinderella's wedding, the stepsister eyes were pecked out?! What?!! That reminds me of "The Birds" movie from 1963!

The fate of Cinderella's step-sisters in the Brothers Grimm version sounds like something out of a Alfred Hitchcock movie!

I would love to see the Brothers Grimm version made into a movie!

"Rrukediku Rrukediku, Blut ist im Schuh, der Schuh ist zu klein, die rrechte Braut ist noch daheim" I actually love the original story even though its a bit darker

I mean… in the movie “Into the Woods”; the stepsisters do become blinded after Cinderella rides off with the Prince. However, Disney made it to where it’s classic “Dear Father” passed away and Cinderella’s Mother was buried under a mighty tree and her spirit turned the trees leaves into her dress

Haaaaaaa already knew the dark version. Second lol

I'll rather have the darker story so that I know what IT really looks like

I mean some of that was shown into the woods, like cutting off their feet and other things, and also that it was birds not mice.

The brothers Grimm version would be a good horror movie

BTW .. the brothers grimm version was used in the movie "into the woods" and cinderella went to the ball three times because it was for three nights.

They wanted to make it more kid friendly

A teacher in my elementary school read the exact same storyline! But Cinderella got pecked by the birds since the prince dumped her in that story.

Yes I would like to see an EviL version!

Solid gold and glass slippers would both be so uncomfortable

If you watch Into the Woods it shows some Cinderella's Grimms story in that movie for Disney.

Glad I'm watching this in the morning

I’m loving this channel

My childhood....was all fake!😭

as a kid I loved the Disney Fairy Tales version. Then as I got older and learned more about the original dark versions I start loving them more!

Yes definitely I would love to see a remake of The Brothers Grimm Cinderella

I would really like to see the real Cinderella with the brothers Grimm and everything that is true with Cinderella because I think that everyone should know about the true facts of Cinderella

Yes please... I would watch that

I subscribed to you and I love how your vids 💖✨

I'm only a ten-year old but I've already read this dark version of the brothers Grimm Cinderella story tale and to be honest, I was actually expecting something a little less creepy but other than that it was only a little creepy to me.

I remember another part. Near the end of the story the evil Stepmother was forced to dance in hot iron shoes until she died of the pain and exhaustion from dancing. I was told that version when i was a little kid in the daycare. And we never thought that it was gruesome.

I think that the old fairy tales are better mostly because they teach children morals like don't be vain or you'll cut off your feet 🤷

I used to read Cinderella books now I'm traumatized 😳

It’s giving “Into The Woods”

GREAT VIDEO

This version of Cinderella is played out in both the stage and cinema versions of INTO THE WOODS.

'Into the Woods' gets close enough.... If you know what l mean. 😌

Cut of their heals and toes to fit in the shoe. Of some reason I had the original story as a kids book as a kid. But I didnt really thought about how dark the story was (in my kid mind it was just a story so) until I was alot older.

I commented this 25 seconds into the video, so he probably already mentioned it but i remember seeing a movie when i was five about the original version of Cinderella where the step sister cut there heels of to fit into the shoe.

There was a version by Charles Perrault. In this version, the father lives, but is to in love and scared of the stepmother to ever stand up for Cinderella. He even reprimanded her for complaining about her situation. The Fairy Godmother actually gives Cinderella her self esteem. Since Cinderella doesn't even have one in the first place, because she is taught that her family's needs are more important.

If Disney would do their movies by the ORIGINAL stories, the movies would be 'Adults only' 😱😱😱

In my opinion, the stepmother should have been punished as well, since she was nasty towards Cinderella as well. Same with dad for neglecting her

As a child i remembed reading a book were it had the real cinderella story and the only thing I remember from that book before this video is one of the stepsisters cutting off their big toe. I wasnt scared i was more of amazed when i read that part i dont know why though and after seeing the disney version i was confused on why i didnt see it now i know why

LMAO THE THUMBNAILS

how greedy those girls to cut their toes to fit the shoes but the birds that take their eyes are super

You should watch Jon Solo talking about the origin story of Cinderella... Especially, that another story, way before Brother's Grimm, was the first Cinderella Story. ...In my honesty, if they were to do another Cinderella Movie based on the Brother's Grimm version, I think they should have the tree in place of the Fairy Godmother. And, that in another part of the Brother's Grimm's version (Again, go watch Jon Solo's.), that the ball lasted for three days and that she wore three different dresses and shoes to attend the ball. Especially, because of the Rule of Three (Back then, a lot of stories follow/had the Rule of Three incorporated in them.).

Good job.

In the adaptation of into the woods, they did a good one of it!

Into The Wooda fallows the original story more and the Broadway production not the 2014 Disney adaptation of even Into The Wooda.

I’d like to see a Grimm version of this and other popular fairy tales. It would have to be geared towards more mature audiences. I would be curious to see that.

Yes

I want another one

When you’ve watched into the woods so the chopping of the toe or heel isn’t new. 😂 sad to know about Cinderellas father tho.

This man: "and it might keep you up all night too" Me: *its 5:49AM and I've been awake for 2 hours, what could keep me awake?*

The first Cinderella I heard of was the one that the step sister chopped her toe off and the other cut her hill off

In the version i grew up with the dress fell from a tree she planted in her mothers ashe that she had Been watering with her tears everyday

Didn't wanna be that guy, but, first!

This flim is amazing

I watched the original Cinderella in 2012

Disney wants to be family friendly!!!

Yeah i here this one already

forgot one detail... the step mother was made to dance in red hot iron shoes until she died.

Remake with a Brothers Grimm Version would be so cool

I actually like the dark version better

Yes to the Grimms version!

Did they REALLY need to get their eyes pecked out though?!

As a kid I actually read the orihinals.. very very different. There was no god-mother, basicly the spirrit of her mother inhabited a tree in thier garden. Cinderelle crys under the tree and a walnut falls hitting her on the head. When she craks it open its said there was a dress as black as a midnight sky, with diamond woven into it. It looked a midnight sky with diamonds. She ground the husk of the walnut and sprinkeled them the entourge. ( i.e. the mice the hound and the pumpkin) and went to the balp. Now dont remember why she knew she cldnt stay past midnght. but befor the clocl struck midnnght she left. Being smitten the Prince holds another ball. Cinderella goes to the tree again. This time the dress and shoes were spun from gold threads. Same thing the the husk the ball then leaving. Now in the version I heard it was a fur slipper, but when being stranslated from french, they miss translated. ( I like the glass verson myself). The Prince wasnt going to lose this time so he had pitch/tar spread on the stairs and she lost her shoe. One even if it were glas, a glass shoe wouldnt surviive been danced on. The fur slipper was magic so it would only fit cinderella ( it would change size depending on who put it on ). Lady Tremaine figuered out/found out it was Cinderellea. When they came to the house Lady Tremaine had locked Cinderellea away. The Prince fed up basicly told Lady T stop jerking me arround or Ill have you all locked up!. Lady T would have gone to jail then see Cindeellea happy. Her daughters were NOT in agreement with that. The one sister states we have one more sister. Before they can place shoe on Cinderellas foot. Lady T knocks out the aides hand and kicks into the fire. Ellea starts laughing Lady T see shes insane. Cinderellea the great thing about shoes is the come in pairs. She then pulls the mate out. The tree gives her one more nut...its z wedding dress. At the wedding Cundy has birds pluck the step sisters eyes out. As wedding gift he told Lady T you said wouldnt dance at her wedding, but ih I think you will. He had had his blacksmith make lead shoes that heated untill they were white hot...they slapped them on Lady T who did a dance of sorts untill she dropped down dead! OUCH!

i know the original story,but i don't remember my mom telling me the detallies

Disney should do the Grimm version as a live action remake.

“Cinderella” was magical and there was a fairy godmother in the Charles Perrault version.

This was in into the woods which is a Disney movie

I did grow up with the none Disney version of Cinderella but not Brothers Grimm. I guess the ones I grew up with where rewritten versions. I even saw a play of once. the story was basically the same tho. A kind young woman named Cinderella lived with her step family who where cruel to her , she wanted to go to a ball at the castle. she dances with the prince and runs off leaving a glass slipper behind. he eventually finds her and the two get married. I prefer the Disney version to the original, the original is really messed up

yes

How do I answer the last question...🤔 HELL NOOOOO!!!

I read the originals! I said "Oh my gosh, there is no fairy godmother!" I thought "what a jerk!" When I read about the father. I thought that the big bad wolf was a child molestor. These tales are scary! Watch Into the Woods.

When I was little and watched the new Disney into the woods they showed this story. When Lady Tremaine was cutting up their feet they bit into towels and screamed. They obviously didn't show it so I asked my mom why are they screaming? She didn't answer.

i grew up with a book with all the dark versions of fairy tales
