Well, the original ending of 'Beauty and the Beast' was also different. In it, the Beast actually dies and Belle is left heartbroken. However, Disney decided to give it a more positive spin where the Beast is transformed back into a prince and they live happily ever after.
In the original 'The Little Mermaid' ending, Ariel doesn't get her happy ending with the prince. Instead, she turns into sea foam. This was a rather tragic ending that was later changed to a more positive and romantic conclusion.
Some original endings were darker. For example, in the original 'Snow White' ending, the Evil Queen was made to dance in red - hot iron shoes until she died. It was a much harsher punishment compared to the more family - friendly version we know today.
For 'Snow White', a teal ending could be that the Evil Queen, after seeing Snow White's kindness and the love she has from the dwarfs, has a change of heart. She could use her magic for good instead of evil, and Snow White and the dwarfs welcome her into their new life. This would turn the typical good - vs - evil ending into a more complex and positive one where redemption is possible.
In the real ending of 'Snow White', after she wakes up from the poisoned apple, she struggles with post - traumatic stress disorder from her near - death experience. The dwarfs have to help her through this difficult time, and her relationship with the prince is also more strained as she has changed because of what she has been through.
Well, in the real ending of 'The Little Mermaid', Ariel actually has a difficult time adjusting to life on land. She misses her underwater home and friends a great deal at first. There are also political tensions between the human world and the underwater kingdom that continue to be an issue even after she marries the prince.
One alternate ending could be in 'Snow White'. Instead of the prince waking her with a kiss, Snow White wakes up on her own after a dream of her mother. She realizes she has the strength within herself and doesn't need a prince to save her.
Some Disney stories have darker or more complex real endings. For example, in the original 'Little Mermaid' by Hans Christian Andersen which inspired Disney's version, the Little Mermaid doesn't get her happy ending with the prince. Instead, she turns into sea foam. Disney often modifies these endings to be more family - friendly and positive.
Some Disney stories have different endings in their original versions compared to the well - known adaptations. For example, in the original 'The Little Mermaid' by Hans Christian Andersen, which inspired the Disney version, the mermaid doesn't get a happily - ever - after with the prince. Instead, she turns into sea foam. Another example is 'Beauty and the Beast'. In some earlier versions, the Beast doesn't transform into a handsome prince until much later in the story.
The original endings made modern interpretations more aware of the potential for darker themes. For instance, the original 'Snow White' ending with the Queen's cruel death shows how far they could go with punishment. Modern interpretations might tone it down but still keep the essence of good vs evil.
Well, for example, in the original 'Snow White' story, the real ending has Snow White waking up after the prince's kiss and they get married and live happily ever after in his kingdom.
Well, for Cinderella, in the real ending she marries the prince and they live happily ever after in the castle. She uses her kindness and grace to rule beside him and brings positive changes to the kingdom.
Another example is 'Pinocchio'. When Pinocchio goes to Pleasure Island, it's a very jorrifying part of the story. The boys on the island are turning into donkeys because of their bad behavior, and Pinocchio is in real danger of the same fate. It's a cautionary and somewhat scary part of the Disney original story.
