There are also some pretty awful plot elements of other fairy tales. One that comes to mind is "Sleeping Beauty". In the Disney adaptation, the handsome Prince Charming comes along and saves her with True Love's Kiss. However, in the original (far darker) version, "Prince Charming" didn't content himself with a simple kiss on the lips. In the original, the prince SA'd the unconscious young woman. How the hell is that a story appropriate for kids? Gross.
This video is so good! showed up in my recommendations. I hope this video blows up.
