Grimm's Fairy Tales were originally written in what language?
Correct answer: German

Also, the original tales were much "darker" than those read to children nowadays.

Interesting to know❣️🤔

USAMcK, The original tales were MUCH darker. It was Disney that lightened and brightened and fluffed them up. The original stories had dismemberment, murder, rape and unwed pregnancies sprinkled throughout them.

I read and reread their tales so many times as a child. I later lived in Germany for three years. Amazing people and culture.

Me and my little sister were bought a copy of The Grimm's Brothers Fairy Tales by our parents when we were kids. She still has it. Definitely was darker than the tales told nowadays.

Some of the stories are quite violent in the original form. Cinderella’s stepsisters having their feet mangled to fit the shoe for example

Powfupurone 1965=21, Truely loved that series. The odd assortment of weaponry of his deceased Aunt to fight the Dark Forces was amazing...

Disney seriously ruined these stories, they were meant to be moral tales and not all happy endings.

MagpieRaven888, I’m glad that they were cleaned up,,haha

I wish I had a chance to read that.
Friday
DSDA, When Sleeping Brauty awoke, she had already given birth to twins; a boy and a girl. I believe Snow White had had a baby as well. apparently, these brave and noble princes were doing more than kissing the beautiful, drugged princesses.

Awesomejack2015, the invention of the word grim is in relation to the Grimm brothers stories

no lie if every 5th answer you gave was Germany or Italy you'd be on the money
Mamaboy
I never knew that German is language
Rick
Powerfulpureone1965, My son and his wife changed their last name to Grimm partly after the show
ria
CherishedAlien74365yeah some real grim stories indeed
Dave
MagpieRaven888, Yes far darker than the Disney versions
Edel
Shannarooski, I agree with you. I am German and my grandmother told me the stories. My mother had a book given, not sure if all the stories were in the original book but I loved each and everyone of them. My grandchildren who were brought up in England don't speak German and only know the Disney versions, some are unrecognisable
