What are some interesting aspects of original dark Disney stories?

Among the 'Dark Disney Original Stories', 'Beauty and the Beast' has some darkness. The Beast's initial rage and the villagers' fear and superstition towards him are dark elements. Also, Belle is essentially a prisoner in the castle at first. 'Peter Pan' can also be considered in this category. Captain Hook's villainy and the constant danger in Neverland add a touch of darkness, not to mention the Lost Boys' situation of being stranded there.

The Disney Princess Original Stories are interesting because of their moral lessons. They teach things like kindness, courage, and perseverance. Princess Ariel shows courage when she defies her father to explore the human world. Also, the love stories in these original stories are quite charming, showing different types of love, be it romantic love or love for family and friends.

One interesting thing is that some of the original Disney story versions had different endings. Take 'Cinderella' for instance. In the original, there were more details about her step - sisters' fates that were toned down in the Disney movie. Also, the characters in the original versions were sometimes less idealized and more like real, flawed people.

One of the dark original Disney stories is 'Snow White'. In the original story, the Evil Queen actually tries to kill Snow White in more gruesome ways than the sanitized version shows. For example, she orders the huntsman to bring back Snow White's heart as proof of her death.

One 'Dark Disney Origin Story' is about the Evil Queen in Snow White. She was once a beautiful but vain woman. Her envy of Snow White's beauty drove her to dark magic. Another is Ursula from The Little Mermaid. She was once part of the underwater kingdom but was banished, which led to her seeking revenge through tricky deals.

One interesting Dark Disney Fanfiction could be a re - imagining of 'Snow White' where the Queen has a more complex backstory that makes her actions seem less purely evil. Maybe she was once a kind ruler but was corrupted by dark magic. Another could be a 'The Little Mermaid' fanfic where Ariel's deal with the sea witch has much darker consequences, like losing her voice forever and being enslaved instead of just a few days of pain. And in a 'Cinderella' fanfic, the step - sisters could be under a curse that makes them cruel, and Cinderella has to find a way to break the curse for all of them.

The original dark Disney stories often have complex and sometimes disturbing character relationships. In 'Beauty and the Beast', the initial situation where Belle is essentially a prisoner in the Beast's castle can be seen as quite dark. It's not as light - hearted as the modern adaptations make it seem. There's a sense of fear and uncertainty for Belle in the original story.

One interesting aspect could be the mystery they hold. The stories might keep you guessing until the very end, making them engaging.

One of the dark Disney stories is the origin of Ursula in 'The Little Mermaid'. Ursula was banished from King Triton's court and she harbors a deep hatred. She uses Ariel's naivete to try and take over the underwater kingdom. Another is the backstory of Scar in 'The Lion King'. His jealousy of Mufasa led him to commit fratricide to gain the throne.

Disney softened the violence. For example, in the original 'Snow White', the Queen's attempts to kill Snow White were more brutal, but Disney made it less graphic for a younger audience. They also made the characters more likeable. The stepsisters in the original 'Cinderella' were extremely cruel, and Disney toned that down a bit.
