What Disney Didn't Tell You - A Tour of the Original Grimm Fairy Tales: An Aggie Talks Event

Think you know Cinderella, Snow White, or Sleeping Beauty? Think again. For most Americans, these stories feel like Disney inventions, but their true origins are far older, stranger, and more fascinating. During this presentation, USU Researcher Claudia Schwabe will take the audience on a journey back 200 years to discover the "original" fairy tales collected by two German brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. You'll learn that these tales were filled with sharp moral lessons, psychological terror, and bizarre magic. The Grimms’ world is a place where justice is brutal, the woods are truly terrifying, and “happily ever after” often comes with a dark price.
