The dark origins of Disney fairy tales - Claudia Schwabe

About this video

Dig into the infamous tales of the Brothers Grimm, and explore how these gory stories evolved as they spread around the world. -- An evil stepmother demands a maiden’s lungs and liver; a girl is ripped from a wolf’s stomach; and sisters mutilate their feet to squeeze into a gold slipper. During the early 1800s, brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm gathered these unflinchingly gory details from stories circulating around what’s now Germany. Claudia Schwabe explores how these now-infamous tales evolved as they spread worldwide. Lesson by Claudia Schwabe, directed by Skirmanta Jakaitė.
