500 new fairy tales

Exactly, lol. That's how NOT for kids some fairy tales are. I think the step-mother's punishment was pretty harsh in Snow White. And I won't even mention what really woke Sleeping Beauty up. Now I'm excited to see these fairy tales. I prefer kid-friendly fairy tales myself, but fairy tales are always interesting.

I think I may create discussion regardless of that matter, but yeah I want this discussion to stay innocent as it was. I also know what wakes up sleeping beauty, Thanks to the censors.

Oh yeah I know about those, its either violence or something I dont want to mention or else this discussion will have a mature content tag, which I am trying to avoid...LOL I heard some of those 500 fairy tales are kid friendly while others are too scary for kids to have as bed time story.

some of those I think are not for kids, cos they didnt pass the censors and they were said to be too grotesque.

ok so its all about the new protect kids from finding out about anything real in the real world thing, right? remember when the 3 little pigs 2 got eaten? or at least the wolf was going to eat them. im sure a lot of them kind dont pass these days also.

In the original versions, The one that wants to kill snow white is not is not her step mom,its her biological mom, and her biological mom wants to eat her organs so she will absorb her beauty. Hansel and Gretel, well there is no witch, Just a devil and his wife, To escape the devil, they slit his wife's neck.

I think it is better to have fairy tales for the children so that kids can love reading new fairy tales.

I think the only ones they might release are the kid friendly ones cos some of them were said to be gory and not good for kids.

I believe they were from the same creators, I think all of the fairy tales you mentioned are German of origin. we can say its their greatest contribution to literature.

Americans dont have kingdoms, Prince and Princesses, Fairy tales were obviously European. The British translated them into English, Then they became popular in the US because of the Disney Cartoons and some Hollywood movies. But yeah Majority of Fairytales are from Germany. Those 500 new fairy tales, well they were really not new but they were just new cos they were rediscovered. It would be cool if they got translated.

I think translation will be a long process but yeah it would be cool. Its shocking that many people are not aware that most fairytales are from Germany.

Those fairy tales were missing for 150 years so its cool that they were discovered again.

there is a possibility that they wont translate them though.

that would stink.

The wonder of fairy tales is that they talk about human values. They are above nationalities and cultures. I´m not so sure thatthe brothers Grimm or Perrault wrote their stories without the aid of folklore. Many of the tales traveled for many centuries. The merchants who went to the orient for salt and spices brought back fairy tales which they told at the campfires. There are lots of tales (not fairies, but some witches and other demons) in our south american folklore. We can read both and that´s not "supporting" a country.

I don't mean that you have to be racist. And it's obvious that you have more knowledge about Philippine History than I do, you live there, I do NOT!, I'm from Ecuador, a country in South America, and it's obvious that I know more about Ecuadorian history than you do. I'm not saying that it's bad to read stories written in other countries of the world. What I mean is that fairy tales are read by children, they are learning about this world, and if we don't teach them to love our nations, who will? I read literature from different parts of the world now. But when I was I child, I never read any tale or stories written here. I grew up without knowing about local folklore, and what I try to say, is that I don't want this to happen to other people. I'm sorry if I ofended you in any way, It was never my intention.

If Iwill support nothing but local stuff and local folklore that will make me racist. Oh thats not all I'm born in Peru, My dad is from a peruvian tribe. Phillippines dont have fairy tales we have folktales ,legends and epic. Also I have more knowledge about Phillippine History than you do. Are you aware Filipinos are originally Malaysians and Indonesians? Are you aware Avocado came from mexico, Are you aware that Mexicans lived in the Philippines during the Spanish rule. Are you aware that Filipino Actress Delia Razon have a Hollywood break but and she refused multiple offers cos she decided to get married. if you read my previous discussions in the last 3 years, I have more Phillippine related discussions more than anyone else in this forums. This discusssion is about newly discovered fairytales, I love literature from different parts of the world. Most fairy tales are either from Germany and Denmark. Also Fairy tales are public domain, Germany dont earn money out of it.
