We must really say, that it is funny to see, how the good people from the States interpret the old, German Fairy Tales! Giggle

As We have seen Disney's version of Snow White, We were surprised because the Evil Queen has tried to kill Snow White for three times and in the film, you can only see the assassination with the poisoned apple.

Later We have read, that Disnay has meant, that all three assassinations would have been too brutal for the american audience and that the film was only for adults. :o (Eek)  

Then We were even more surprised, because in Germany we read this stories already in the Kindergarten! :D (Big Grin)

Yes, American audiences usually prefer a happy ending which wasn't always the case in the original fairytales!  But some of those other attempts on Snow's life were probably cut out just of the Disney movie because of timing, too.

Anyway, with my Historically Accurate Series I at least try to make the fashion a little closer to real life!
