As a German, in the traditional story I was told as a kid, she first tries to kill the frog at dinner by throwing him into her soup and making it a soup with cooked frog, she does this after she asks her dad the king, if he would please call the cook to catch the frog and boil him, but he declines, also she doesn't put him into the corner but throws him into it, then when he jumps on the bed, well you already know this part, after she slammed him at the wall, she also tries to kill him by hitting him with her pillow (and in some versions she tries to pierce him with a knife into the wall). In the end the frog turns into a prince and it is revealed that as a young boy he had a very violent attitude against most of God's creatures (humans, animals, etc.), so he was put under a curse turning him into an animal, until he has experienced the same amount of violence and neglection. When he turns into a prince he is so happy about that, that he marries her, besides her trying to kill him numerous times. (I remember a satirical version of this famous fairy tail making fun about this part.) In the end Heinrichs iron bands were only stable enough to hold the powers of sadness, but not those of happiness, because they are boundless, so he explodes. The rest is like explained in the video.
One version I heard she threw the frog against the wall after he scared her by appearing on her pillow and is upset when she thinks he's dead, she cries and kisses the frog and then he turns into the Prince
I would like to add that there was one lady who lived in New Orleans who grew up in a poor family and dreamed of having a restaurant she worked hard and eventually earned enough to start the restaurant. It became extremely popular and famous, Obama and other famous people have dined there, and her restaurant was part of the inspiration for the princess and the frog. I have been to the restaurant and there is an illustration of tiana and the owner of the restaurant sitting down where tiana thanks her for the ideas for the movie. The picture was given to her by Disney and the directors and animators
In both versions of the story, the princess is violent to the frog. In the original, the princess tries to kill the frog by throwing him against the wall. In the Disney version, Tiana tries to smash Naveen with a book, strangle him with her hands, and almost left him to be eaten by alligators.

When I was a kid I really liked the retelling of this fairy tale done by "Adventures from the Book of Virtues" TV show. In that retelling the story is mostly the same until the Princess and the Frog get to her room, where she places him on an uncomfortable bench instead of her soft bed (his request was to simply sleep on the most comfortable pillow instead of in bed with her). While the Frog is thanking the Princess for her most comfortable pillow (while he's shifting around uncomfortably), the Princess feels guilty for being dishonest thanks to the words of her father and she places him on the bed explaining that she was sorry for her dishonesty and that this new pillow was the most comfortable she had. At that moment he transforms into a Prince, shocking everyone. The former Frog explains that because he had once been dishonest to a fairy he was cursed to be a Frog until he found someone who could understand the value of keeping promises. Then it's back to marriage, etc. but no Iron Heimlich.
Thanks for watching everybody! Don’t forget to hit that LIKE button so we can reach our 5,000 like goal! (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ Also, I apologize if this episode doesn’t seem on par with some of the others. I was feeling pretty junked up (physically and mentally) when I sat down to record. Thanks to those who asked if I was okay :)
I'm from Germany where many of those tales originated and I must say, in this case I only know the origin story, not the new one. My grandma used to tell us most of these stories just like they are written down in the Brüder Grimms Märchen. We even have two very old books at home, one with german and one with Czech tales in them 😊
Am I the only one just thinking girl you're rich you could just melt some more gold and make yourself a new golden ball and even make it better adding a few gems or something or just go and ask your dad or like a 1000 servants to get it for you... 😂😂😂
It was probably one of a kind because it probably had some special tie or memory with it. Maybe her mother, who isn't there apparently, gave it to her before she died or something like that and a replacement just wouldn't be the same.
There's also a Russian kinda version of this story. It's quite different from the most known versions)) It's called "The Frog Princess". Check it out, it's cool)
Thank you so much for not leaving out that part with loyal Heinrich - even in the German versions of the story it's often left out or told separately, but I always thought it was such an important part of the story :) Funny side note: The literal translation of the German title is actually not "The Frog Prince" but "The Frog King"
Is it time to tell you, that we germans have a much longer version? So... after throwing thee Frogprince on the wall and he transformes back he is like: "No way I marry a spoiled child like you" and got picked up by Heinrich. Heinrich took him back to his castle but the princess started to follow them because she was sorry and fall in love with the Beauty of the prince. But she lost track and cried when mother sun took pity on the princess. She brought her back on track and gave her a magic egg that she should use then she needed help. So the princess went on, but lost track again. Again she cried and this time father moon took pity. The brought her back on track and also gave her a magic egg to use then she needed it. So the princess moved on and wonder oh wonder: got lost! This time brother wind was like: "I'll do it right!" an brought her to th castle of the frogprince. There she got her third magic egg and went into th castle. But she was that dirty, that thy mistook her for a servent girl. The prince meanwile got an other princess to marry her in 3 days. So our princess took the first egg from the sun and out came a beautyful golden dress. That dress got the attention of the bride and she demanded to take th dress. Our princess agreed but only if she could spend the night nexto the prince. The bride was like: "Sounds fair" and so she spend the night nexto her sleeping prince crying and begging for his forgivness. Next day she took the egg from the moon and got a stunning silver dress. Again the bride wanted the dress and was fine with the other girl sleeping nexto her boyfriend. So angain the princess layed down nexto ther sleeping prince and begged for his forgiveness. So the last day befor the wedding came and the princess used her last magic egg from wich she got the prettiest wedding dress on earth. The bride was like: "I NEED THAT! Same as usual?" But this time the prince got the feeling something was wrong. He pretended to sleep while the bride and the princess switched places and heared the princes crying, begging his forgiveness and wishing him the best for his days because he deserved better than a spoiled child like her. Now the prince was like: "thats what I wanted to hear!" He cancled the wedding, took his princess and went back with her to her fathers kingdom to marry her. on the way back we got the sceane with the iron breaking from Heinrichs heart and all lived happiely ever after...
Technically Faciiar’s magic is more correctly called Hoodoo. Voodoo is an Afro Caribbean religion combining tribal beliefs with Christianity, particularly Catholicism magic is fairly common in the religion but it’s not a necessary part. Hoodoo is a form of magic combining African practices with European folk magic and witchcraft. Once again it’s possible to practice hoodoo without being a member of the Voodoo religion, indeed some neo pagans and even Catholics use some of the charms without delving into the religious side. As an aside Facilier’s appearance was inspired by Baron Samedi one of the most important loa (spirits worshipped in Voodoo But not technically gods) the loa of cross roads, magic and the dead (he’s actually kind of a party animal with a fondness for rum and tobacco odd for a patron of the dead). His shadow taking on a life if it’s own btw is something out of European myths about witches.
As a Catholic I have yet to hear from anyone about magic in Catholicism. Specially when Catholics were prone to burn anyone who had "magical abilities."
@@lunayen It's probably primarily confined to Louisiana, where Hoodoo as well as Voodoo are prevalent. It would stand to reason that, over time, they would "overlap," if you will, with Catholicism in common practices. Many of the charms and spells in Hoodoo call upon the saints, something neighboring Catholics can relate to.
In his song, he says “ I’ve got voodoo, I’ve got Hoodoo, I’ve got things I ain’t even tried” He’s got it all, but most importantly, he’s got friends on the other side
I once read a version of the story in which, to break the spell, the frog had to share a meal with the princess, sleep in her bed, have her spill his blood and then kiss him to break the spill. Everything was like the original, only when he asks to sleep in her bed, the princess gets mad and throws him. He hits her mirror and the mirror breaks, cutting him. The princess feels bad about the whole thing and kisses the frog, so he transforms back to a handsome prince.
Jaylin Guerrero i knew someone would notice lol. Yeah I was feeling a little junked up when I sat down to record, but by the end I perked up a little bit. Still not feeling super hot but I’ll be fine! thank you for asking :)
Ok I know this us really late, but I want to say some thoughts? I once had these books called the "Princess & The Frog" and it was a set of two books. It follows a princess who has a curse on the females of her family. So her aunt (the witch of the castle) trying to protect her niece, gives her a bracelet that reverses spells. The princess not knowing this ended up kissing the frog but sadly cause her bracelet SHE became a frog as well and went on these adventures to find a way to break the curse, learning about her family curse along the way. Great read so recommend picking it up. 0w0
Dave S. Disney confirmed that these books were the source of “The Princess and the Frog.” I read them as a child and now have a copy of the first book that has a sticker on the front that says “soon to be a major motion picture.” There’s about six or seven books now
I feel for E.D. Baker - the only thing they kept after optioning the film rights to her book is that the girl gets turned ito a frog instead of breaking the spell on the guy.
I really appreciate how much research you put into every single messed up origin episode. I also really like the way you summarise the story that inspires each episode. Really great work!!
The version I grew up with just had the princess silently torelated the frog’s demands until one night when the both of them were in their bed, she heard the frog weeping and asked him about it, which the frog said he knew that deep down, the princess still hates him and is disgusted by him, making the frog regretted his wish and he would return to the pond, to be lonely again if the princess wish for him to do so. The princess heard the frog weeping, began to pity him and kissed the frog in the head to consoled him and that when he turned into a prince. This one is pretty soft and wholesome.
The Frog Princess was one of the few movies my childhood self stopped watching when it got too terrifying. (That very short list list also includes Up and...Stuart Little? Why were those the movies that freaked me out? IDEK.) I really want to go back and rewatch it now.
The disney version wasn't based off of the original tale, it was based off a nother adaption by E.D. Baker. Basically, a clutzy princess named Emma (Tiana) who was disliked by her mother for being terrible at everything and only loved by her aunt spent a lot of time in a swamp until she met a sarcastic talking frog there named Eadric (Naveen). Eadric begged her to kiss him so he could be human, which she did on the second day of his pleas. However, because she was wearing a magic charm that reversed any negative spells, it conked out and turned her into a frog as well. The story follows their travels to a witch's hut where they met a bat and a snake (Ray and Louis). After escaping imprisonment by the witch once realizing it wasn't the same witch who turned him into a frog, they travel back to the palace, where Emma's aunt (Charlotte aka Lotti) figured out how to turn them human again. Once they did kiss 2.0 without the spell-reversing charm, Eadric revealed that he was in love with Emma, and the book ends with them being together and spirals into a series.
I really love listening to these while I do household chores. The rhythm of your voice gets me doing stuff, somehow. So thank you for helping me get through my chores!!
I remember reading another version of this story where the Princess was out strolling in her yard where she met the frog Prince in her pond and he confess to her about the curse he was Plague with. He told her the olny way to break the curse was with true loves kiss. With all of this information out in the open the Princess began to pick up the frog Prince and the frog Prince preparing for their kiss but because Princess was French she instead took him back inside the castle, put him in a pot of hot water where he was boild alive and later his legs were served to the princess for dinner, in her family's curiosity they asked he what she was eating and she simply replied frogs legs
I guess this is like Chris Rock's bit where he says something like "you've never truly loved someone unless you've contemplated their murder." I don't understand how the curse is broken by the frog being smashed against the wall.
You're my new favorite RUclipsr I've watched a few vids before but I just realized you're really good at what you do thanks for shedding light on things I thought came directly from Disney itself.
Technically, The Princess and the Frog is an adaptation of the children's novel The Frog Princess, by E.D. Baker, which is a retelling of the Frog Prince. Therefore, it is a retelling of a retelling of The Frog Prince. There is a crucial step in the evolution of this movie that you have ignored.
Another thing, The "Loyal Heinrich" aspect of this fairy tale is also used in the book "A Tale Dark and Grimm" by Adam Gidwitz as well as by the Brother's Grimm themselves in the fairy tale "Faithful Johannes".
I'm not sure if I'm happy or scared by the fact my dad read all those original stories to me when I was a kid. Every time I watched a Disney movie I got confused cause "Wait... Didn't that girl slice off the toe to get into the shoe? Where did that go?" or "I thought she had tried to kill him, not kiss him". I may or may not be a bit messed up now.
Jon, I don’t go on here to much but when I do it’s bc of your great videos...the theme song is refreshing but namely the content and delivery.lol please continue to make awesome videos delving into great movies and awesome literature. I and many others, will thank you for it. As your fans, if you ever feel down, there are many of us who care to help you in whatever way we can. Anyways love the vids keep on shooting first
I am German and grew up with precisely the version of the story you re-iterated. I always found the pop-culture reference of kissing the frog rather strange. Glad to hear someone setting the story straight (pun intended)
My oma (grandma) used to live in germany and i vaguely remember her telling me this story. i remember the golden ball but not much else. now it all makes sense XD
The Grimm's version is my most favorite version besides the Disney adaptation. It has the most realistic part about the princess being disgusted with the frog and throwing him against the wall.
In one version I heard about the princess burns the frog with a candle, smashes it with her foot, throws it against a wall and cuts his head off... This was one of the reasons why I wanted you to cover this story so thank you Jon 😛
Just thought I’d point out that the idea of tiana becoming a frog once kissing naveen in the movie was inspired by the book The Frog Princess by E.D. Baker, who’s credited in the movie and in several spinoff books based around the movie.
Did he just say "homie" ??.... ..?? .... ......???? Never heard that B4 this vid... With "homies" being talked on here... No offense lol just observations, love this channel lmao!!!
Wait, she breaks the curse by throwing him against a wall? Wow, how heartfelt

In the end the frog turns into a prince and it is revealed that as a young boy he had a very violent attitude against most of God's creatures (humans, animals, etc.), so he was put under a curse turning him into an animal, until he has experienced the same amount of violence and neglection.

In the end Heinrichs iron bands were only stable enough to hold the powers of sadness, but not those of happiness, because they are boundless, so he explodes.
The rest is like explained in the video.
Hmm that makes sense as to why he married her.
That's tough
Getting thrown will fill your heart with something lol
Never put up with domestic violence, even if you are a frog, or a prince or a princess.
The spell will break when your true love throws and slams you against a wall
Yup works every time!!! 😅
elizabel if it doesn't work, shoot for decapitation! Boom, spell broken!
I prefer this version
50 shades of gray=true love
I laughed so hard I started crying
“So..I almost smashed you against the wall, we cool?” Woww that time period really knew how to start off relationships, didn’t they? Lol
One version I heard she threw the frog against the wall after he scared her by appearing on her pillow and is upset when she thinks he's dead, she cries and kisses the frog and then he turns into the Prince
I've heard that one!
Yep that's the version I heard as a child, I think there was an animation of that story on TV before.
Sameee

GREAT dad advice. Don't agree to deals you can't keep
She was desperate.
She should have negotiated a better deal that she is more willing to be okay with then.
It’s a good bit of advice but I’d draw the line at bed sharing.
@@ButterflyQueene07 Lol, she was a princess. Her father could have bought her a new toy. She was an impatient brat.

Leah Chase, right?
@@ColumineMiette Yup!
I like the way her father ordered to keep her word. Shows responsibility.
In both versions of the story, the princess is violent to the frog. In the original, the princess tries to kill the frog by throwing him against the wall. In the Disney version, Tiana tries to smash Naveen with a book, strangle him with her hands, and almost left him to be eaten by alligators.

But then he can sleep in the bed with you um...🤔🤔ok
Since the brothers Grimm sayd so. I grew up with that version :) I know its weird but I'm kinda weirded out by the disney version

I once read a version of the story in which, to break the spell, the frog had to share a meal with the princess, sleep in her bed, have her spill his blood and then kiss him to break the spill.
Everything was like the original, only when he asks to sleep in her bed, the princess gets mad and throws him. He hits her mirror and the mirror breaks, cutting him. The princess feels bad about the whole thing and kisses the frog, so he transforms back to a handsome prince.
oh i lost my ball
i guess im gonna talk to a random frog that can TALK and will absolutely not do anything weird because this is brothers grimm
Jon you look exhausted, you alright? Great video
Jaylin Guerrero i knew someone would notice lol. Yeah I was feeling a little junked up when I sat down to record, but by the end I perked up a little bit. Still not feeling super hot but I’ll be fine! thank you for asking :)
omg i got hit with a train of nostalgia. i remember reading this story when i was younger, wow
Jon you rock, I luv you man! (Like so Jon Solo can see, please and thankyou
You just reminded me of the coolest shows I watched as a child called "Happily Ever After"
Ok I know this us really late, but I want to say some thoughts?
I once had these books called the "Princess & The Frog" and it was a set of two books. It follows a princess who has a curse on the females of her family. So her aunt (the witch of the castle) trying to protect her niece, gives her a bracelet that reverses spells. The princess not knowing this ended up kissing the frog but sadly cause her bracelet SHE became a frog as well and went on these adventures to find a way to break the curse, learning about her family curse along the way.
Great read so recommend picking it up. 0w0
Dave S. Disney confirmed that these books were the source of “The Princess and the Frog.” I read them as a child and now have a copy of the first book that has a sticker on the front that says “soon to be a major motion picture.” There’s about six or seven books now
Lette David S. HEEYYYY I READ THAT BOOK. Hella lit I just forgot the name anyways I need to read book again a really good book too.
I feel for E.D. Baker - the only thing they kept after optioning the film rights to her book is that the girl gets turned ito a frog instead of breaking the spell on the guy.
Please do peter pan, it's my favourite story
Oml, I just realised how I already knew most of these messed up origins. I have a fairytale book with older versions written in it.
"Jon shot first" - it makes me smile every time. =)
I don't get why your channel still hasn't reached a million, your vids are awesome!
Disney films are creepy but Disney films have even creepier origins.
Omfg I used to read these small story books when i was little and this was the exact story that i read
Arika Ahsan Same!
Same.
I really appreciate how much research you put into every single messed up origin episode. I also really like the way you summarise the story that inspires each episode. Really great work!!
The version I grew up with just had the princess silently torelated the frog’s demands until one night when the both of them were in their bed, she heard the frog weeping and asked him about it, which the frog said he knew that deep down, the princess still hates him and is disgusted by him, making the frog regretted his wish and he would return to the pond, to be lonely again if the princess wish for him to do so.
The princess heard the frog weeping, began to pity him and kissed the frog in the head to consoled him and that when he turned into a prince. This one is pretty soft and wholesome.
The Frog Princess was one of the few movies my childhood self stopped watching when it got too terrifying. (That very short list list also includes Up and...Stuart Little? Why were those the movies that freaked me out? IDEK.) I really want to go back and rewatch it now.
The disney version wasn't based off of the original tale, it was based off a nother adaption by E.D. Baker.
Basically, a clutzy princess named Emma (Tiana) who was disliked by her mother for being terrible at everything and only loved by her aunt spent a lot of time in a swamp until she met a sarcastic talking frog there named Eadric (Naveen). Eadric begged her to kiss him so he could be human, which she did on the second day of his pleas. However, because she was wearing a magic charm that reversed any negative spells, it conked out and turned her into a frog as well. The story follows their travels to a witch's hut where they met a bat and a snake (Ray and Louis). After escaping imprisonment by the witch once realizing it wasn't the same witch who turned him into a frog, they travel back to the palace, where Emma's aunt (Charlotte aka Lotti) figured out how to turn them human again. Once they did kiss 2.0 without the spell-reversing charm, Eadric revealed that he was in love with Emma, and the book ends with them being together and spirals into a series.
I really love listening to these while I do household chores. The rhythm of your voice gets me doing stuff, somehow. So thank you for helping me get through my chores!!
I remember reading another version of this story where the Princess was out strolling in her yard where she met the frog Prince in her pond and he confess to her about the curse he was Plague with. He told her the olny way to break the curse was with true loves kiss. With all of this information out in the open the Princess began to pick up the frog Prince and the frog Prince preparing for their kiss but because Princess was French she instead took him back inside the castle, put him in a pot of hot water where he was boild alive and later his legs were served to the princess for dinner, in her family's curiosity they asked he what she was eating and she simply replied frogs legs
I was saying that line “It is not slime it is mucus!!!!” before even cut to the clip of the movie lol. LOVE your videos!!!! Love the humor.
Loyal Heinrich is AWESOME!
I've got a Brothers Grimm storybook that I read to my daughter at bedtime that has this same version. When I first read it I was like "wtf" 😂
I guess this is like Chris Rock's bit where he says something like "you've never truly loved someone unless you've contemplated their murder." I don't understand how the curse is broken by the frog being smashed against the wall.
Love that intro and ending music ❤❤...love your videos man ❤❤
OOoo The “dark” story is acually a popular classic Russian children’s books. I read it a lot when I was little.
Hanna Litskevich I swear I remember that book
Anya OOOOF I still have it
You're my new favorite RUclipsr I've watched a few vids before but I just realized you're really good at what you do thanks for shedding light on things I thought came directly from Disney itself.
Technically, The Princess and the Frog is an adaptation of the children's novel The Frog Princess, by E.D. Baker, which is a retelling of the Frog Prince. Therefore, it is a retelling of a retelling of The Frog Prince. There is a crucial step in the evolution of this movie that you have ignored.
Jon has such a great charm to these videos
I prefer the version where true love's throw against a wall breaks the spell. It's more entertaining and less cliché
Another thing, The "Loyal Heinrich" aspect of this fairy tale is also used in the book "A Tale Dark and Grimm" by Adam Gidwitz as well as by the Brother's Grimm themselves in the fairy tale "Faithful Johannes".
Could you please do Pinocchio I would really appreciate it very much. And also I love how you describe everything keep the good work up 👌😀
Pinocchio is dark?
I'm not sure if I'm happy or scared by the fact my dad read all those original stories to me when I was a kid. Every time I watched a Disney movie I got confused cause "Wait... Didn't that girl slice off the toe to get into the shoe? Where did that go?" or "I thought she had tried to kill him, not kiss him".
I may or may not be a bit messed up now.
Hi jon! R u feeling better?
I am feeling a little better thank you!
Jon Solo that’s goof
Jon Solo I mean good
Kaiden Rattan
Jon, I don’t go on here to much but when I do it’s bc of your great videos...the theme song is refreshing but namely the content and delivery.lol please continue to make awesome videos delving into great movies and awesome literature. I and many others, will thank you for it. As your fans, if you ever feel down, there are many of us who care to help you in whatever way we can. Anyways love the vids keep on shooting first
Remember the Jongasm?
This is him now.
Feel old yet?
I am German and grew up with precisely the version of the story you re-iterated. I always found the pop-culture reference of kissing the frog rather strange. Glad to hear someone setting the story straight (pun intended)
My oma (grandma) used to live in germany and i vaguely remember her telling me this story. i remember the golden ball but not much else. now it all makes sense XD
" Hey princess why you crying " 😂😂😂
Do the origins of sherk
I'll wait
It has too many layers.
The Grimm's version is my most favorite version besides the Disney adaptation. It has the most realistic part about the princess being disgusted with the frog and throwing him against the wall.
"What the farts???" 😂😂😂😂😂
In one version I heard about the princess burns the frog with a candle, smashes it with her foot, throws it against a wall and cuts his head off... This was one of the reasons why I wanted you to cover this story so thank you Jon 😛
Best one yet
Jalas Gameing nice profile pic!!!
"It is not slime! It is MUCUS!"
Made me laugh!
"What the farts man?"
But you didn't mention The Frog Princess book!! That was one of my favourites as a kid!
Do the origin story of superman like not the planet one but the grim brothers
I’m happy to say you are showing up on my alerts now.
Yayyy another origins video
This is my favorite Disney movie of all time and it is slowly being ruined but i won't EVER stop loving it
Yay, I like your disney videos
Just thought I’d point out that the idea of tiana becoming a frog once kissing naveen in the movie was inspired by the book The Frog Princess by E.D. Baker, who’s credited in the movie and in several spinoff books based around the movie.
iM dOne WItH tHIs fRoG -THROWS AGAINST WALL-
''Uhhh, what the farts, man?'' -Jon Solo 2018
Do Pocahontas
Kylee Sewell yes PLEASE
E.D. Baker’s “The Frog Princess” is what the film was inspired by which is why the princess kiss turns herself into a frog too.
Did he just say "homie" ??.... ..??
....
......????
Never heard that B4 this vid... With "homies" being talked on here...
