I believe some fairy tales did begin graphic or at least not the way we see or hear them today. I did some reasearch on the internet and found that Hansel and Gredel may have been a cover up for an actual murder. Unfortunately we don't have police reports, or news stories to actually see what was happening during this time period. Luckily, I did not learn the actual Cinderella or Hansel and Gredel stories that were not pleasant. I don't favor horror, and thankfully my children will not have to hear it either. I know it's good to know, but I don't want to know too much about the actual medieval times either. I enjoy fairy tales as they are described today and am thankful for Disney. I really enjoy Disney characters and art, it's beautiful and amazing.
