This 2014 Disney Movie Was Too Dark for Some Parents
By now, audiences have figured out that Disneys versions of classic fairy tales have vastly outperformed their original Grimm counterparts. This is because the endings are much more joyous. In Cinderella, for instance, The Grand Duke and the princess get married soon after he finds out that the coveted glass slipper fits on her foot perfectly. In Rapunzel, the clever and independent heroine saves Flynn with her tears, and they, too, have a happily ever after. In Mickey Mouses adaptation of Jack and the Giant Beanstalk, he, Donald, and Goofy ultimately save Happy Valley (and rescue the Golden Harp) from the clutches of Willie The Giant. In addition, when Walt Disney created a 1922 version of Little Red Riding Hood, an unnamed aviator and Red kiss after he rescues her from a strange and mischievous man.
