Do non-Ariel mermaids exist anymore? They do, here in the Fairy Tales & Fables Spot!
Do non-Ariel mermaids exist anymore? They do, here in the Fairy Tales & Fables Spot!
This is a simple request I ask of fellow fans of the fairy tales & fables spot: if you can, try to refrain from bombarding this spot with Disney-related links, videos, and images and instead expand what you consider the 'classic' fairytales and fables. While it is true that movies do rely as much on fairytales and fables as books of yore did, the commercialization of Disney's versions of these classic tales overwhelm the vibrant worlds of Mother Goose, Aesop's Fables, and Hans Christian Andersen. I wonder how many children are unaware that the traditional Little Mermaid had our fishy protagonist dying in the end as her prince married another, as opposed to marrying him herself and living happily ever after? While it is much in the tradition of fairytales and fables to evolve beyond their original form, I request that we keep the Fairytales & Fables Spot as literature-based as we can. That's not to say comparisons between the many incarnations of fairytales are not welcomed. In fact, they will be greeted heartedly. But upload your Disney images, videos, and links in the Disney spot. Share the classics here. Thanks.
