But as an adult, the Grimm stuff is fun for the horror aspect, knowing that none of it is real. It's easier to separate fantasy from reality, and look at it differently. :)<br /><br />Random Musings from the KristenHead — <a href="http://kristenhead.blogspot.com/2014/04/d-is-for-defiance-and-dogs.html" rel="nofollow">D is for 'Defiance' (and Dogs)</a>Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08827651632884248765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839646920915128083.post-6467542488210473492014-04-05T12:47:33.940-07:002014-04-05T12:47:33.940-07:00I prefer the Disney version of these tales for chi...I prefer the Disney version of these tales for children as opposed to the Grimm's version. When I just had my daughter, my mother in law gave me a copy of Grimm's Fairy Tales to read to her. Not one to just start reading books out loud without giving them the once over, I quickly rejected them. I had never read them up until that point! But, it got me involved in reading them all to myself. :DMel Chesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200734886454147170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839646920915128083.post-1334961902569294512014-04-05T01:42:54.226-07:002014-04-05T01:42:54.226-07:00Don't beat yourself up, usually when I think o...Don't beat yourself up, usually when I think of Disney I think of movies or my childhood. I mean, I don't think The Lion King or Toy Story were Grimm's tales. But man, I love Disney. I'm gonna work there one day.

I love their cartoons but they are just so different from the fairy tales I grew up with that I don't think of them as the same thing. Disney makes movies for profit and mass entertainment. Fairy tales are a kind of folk lore drawn from the deep places of humanity's subconscious. That's a big difference.
