That's my thinking really, parents who don't want their kids to watch the content now have an easier route to them not viewing it, parents who are OK or would even like to watch these films with their kids still can, and (frankly) parents who don't care either way probably don't have kids Disney+ accounts set up with age restrictions and just have one unrestricted account that's shared. TBH the last one is probably the most likely scenario.

... ... ... not to mention that in the original story that it's based on, she is actually raped in her sleep by the prince (king) and goes through a full pregnancy and childbirth whilst still unconscious, and wakes up when one of her children dislodges some magical thingumawotsit from her hand that's keeping her asleep. The original stories are always really messed up . Last edited by Toy Soldier; 25-01-2021 at 11:01 AM. |

It's all quite understandable really, if these films had to be reclassified in today's world, they wouldn't be U rated. As usual, people are getting mad for no reason. |

And that it was all for nothing because the prince chose someone else and so she died, fairy tales are ****ed when you look at the original versions.

Was it something like she'd saved the prince from drowning but when he woke up there was another woman looking after him and he thought she was the one who saved him or something?

Could be, I remember reading it as a kid and I thought I could remember it turning out that basically he fell in love with someone else. Maybe I remembered it wrong, either way, she ends up as foam, I think.

Ah, so slightly less cruel than I remembered, I was sure I remembered him straight up rejecting her.

Like in Cinderella, the Ugly Step Sisters chopped bits of their feet off to fit into the shoes , which were silk and silver rather than glass.

And then don't crows peck out their eyes for their 'wickedness?' So they end up blind with mangled feet.
That's the version I remember reading in school, at least, I think it was. Maybe I'm embellishing it, given how I misremembered the details of Little Mermaid. Last edited by Tom4784; 25-01-2021 at 12:17 PM. |

And the Wicked Witch from Snow White? She didn't topple off a cliff while trying to push a rock at Snowie... She survived right up to the wedding, which she was captured and forced to wear red hot iron shoes, and danced around until she dropped dead!

I don't have a problem with them changing the age ratings of the films, there are plenty other films which don't have harmful stereotypes.
