1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: Remember those fairy tales that were read to you as

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: your bedtime story, Cinderella with her glass slipper and evil stepsisters,

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: or snow White with a huntsman and seven dwarfs. What

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: if I told you that those tales weren't the whole story,

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: that fairy tales have a dark history.

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: He locked her in this dungeon. He ordered her to

7
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 2: do this impossible thing. He threatened to kill her multiple times.

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 3: That's one where Red and Grandma are just dead.

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 4: And at this point she just had it. She takes

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 4: the frog and with all her might, throws him against

11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 4: the wall.

12
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: Over the years, the stories have changed, been watered down

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: to the virgins we know today because the Brother's grim

14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: Tails weren't originally for children.

15
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 3: They murder her, they cook her, they eat her. It's awful.

16
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 5: He actually jumps out of the window, and it happens

17
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 5: that he lands on some thorns that also blind him.

18
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 3: She sits his body on a chair, puts his head

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 3: back on it, neck ties the scarf around it so

20
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 3: you can't see what's happened.

21
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: The Brothers Grim's fairy tales had a history before they

22
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: were collected and written down. They had a history as

23
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: They've been retold throughout the years. They have a history now,

24
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: and every adaptation has something to teach us.

25
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 6: And these tales stay with us. They stick in our brains.

26
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 3: The stories existed before the Grims. They will exist long

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 3: after us.

28
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 6: Long after the last copy of any known book of

29
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 6: yours is writing in a landfill. The fairy tales are

30
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 6: going to exist. They're going to continue.
