Please keep this spot as Disney-free as possible

Do non-Ariel मत्स्य कन्याओं exist anymore? They do, here in the Fairy Tales & Fables Spot!

Do non-Ariel mermaids exist anymore? They do, here in the Fairy Tales & Fables Spot!

This is a simple request I ask of fellow प्रशंसकों of the fairy tales & fables spot: if आप can, try to refrain from bombarding this spot with Disney-related links, videos, and तस्वीरें and instead expand what आप consider the 'classic' fairytales and fables. While it is true that फिल्में do rely as much on fairytales and fables as पुस्तकें of yore did, the commercialization of Disney's versions of these classic tales overwhelm the vibrant worlds of Mother Goose, Aesop's Fables, and Hans Christian Andersen. I wonder how many children are unaware that the traditional Little Mermaid had our fishy protagonist dying in the end as her prince married another, as opposed to marrying him herself and living happily ever after? While it is much in the tradition of fairytales and fables to evolve beyond their original form, I request that we keep the Fairytales & Fables Spot as literature-based as we can. That's not to say comparisons between the many incarnations of fairytales are not welcomed. In fact, they will be greeted heartedly. But अपलोड your डिज़्नी images, videos, and लिंक्स in the डिज़्नी spot. Share the classics here. Thanks.

curlscat also, you lose a lot when you take the fairy tale out of its element. they're not meant to be movies, or put on paper. they're meant to be told by word of mouth and passed down from person to person.

FlightofFantasy Why? This spot isn't for written fairy tales, it's about fairy tales in general, and Walt Disney's retelling of fairy tales are just as valid as the Brothers Grimm's.

TBUGoth Thank you

I wrote a fable

Here goes:

Once upon a time there was a lady. She wanted to have a baby. And she did. But she was sad, because the baby had brown hair. "I wanted a blond!" she screamed, throwing the baby of a cliff.

She then had another baby. It had red hair. "I wanted a blond!" she shouted, again throwing her off the cliff.

The days past, and many a child was thrown off a cliff. Then, the lady reached the age of 40. "I'm too old now! I'll never have a blonde baby!" She lived the rest of her life in depression.

Oh, and she was put in prison for throwing शिशु of cliffs.

THE END!
