The ironic thing is, most of Walt Disney's biggest hits were all based off of others' works in the public domain. A fact whose implications are sadly lost upon the people who continue to rubber-stamp copyright term extensions.
- kagamine 10y agoLike these classic fairy tales that were folklore until written down and of which many exist in the collective consciousness of western civilization: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls003947956/ http://www.imdb.com/list/ls003947956/
- touristtam 10y agoCharles Perrault (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Perrault https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Perrault) and Grimm's fairy tales (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimms%27_Fairy_Tales https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimms%27_Fairy_Tales) are better read anyway.
- kagamine 10y agoMy daughter wanted me to read The Little Mermaid to her, so we read from HC Andersen's book. That story was brutal. I don't think either my daughter or I were expecting that bleak lesson in life.
- touristtam 10y agoYes the original fairy tales are usually quite grim: a far cry from their disney version. The advantages of the compilation of tales from the Grimm brother is there are a lot of them to pick from. ;)
