In the Disney story of Mulan we follow the journey of a girl, her cricket, and her mythical dragon Mushu as they devise a plan to protect her ailing father from his requirement to join the Chinese army and fight against the invading Huns. Mulan fools everyone when she successfully disguises herself as a man, joins the army, and leads them into victory. The story of Mulan, dates back to the 11th or 12th century collection of poems named The Ballad of Mulan, in which, China actually LOSES the war, and Mulan is captured by the Huns who agree let her live only if she marries their king. Fortunately for Mulan, she escapes and returns home…however, when she arrives, she discovers her father died and her mother remarried. Struck by grief our heroine kills herself with her father’s sword after uttering, "I am a woman, I survived the war, and I have done enough. Now I want to be with my father.” Talk about a daughter’s love. Number 9: Pinocchio. This tale begins with an old puppeteer who creates a wooden marionette named Pinocchio. The puppeteer’s only wish is to have his marionette become a real boy so that he may have a son. As in most fairy tales, of course, a magical fairy appears and grants his one wish…. Well sort of. We should all be familiar with the way the rest of this story plays out, especially since it’s been around since the 1940’s…so we’ll just cut to the chase here. The original account, written by Carlo Collodi, is pretty horrible and portrays Pinocchio as mischievous child who steals things, and behaves so badly that even his father calls him a “wretched lad.” I’m sure at this point you’re probably questioning where Jiminy Cricket fits in to all this, I mean, he is the boys conscience after all. Well, while he does exist in Collodi’s telling tale, his outcome is a more tragic one. You see, Pinocchio gets tired of dealing with poor Jiminy so he takes a mallet to the cricket and kills him! Much to Pinocchio’s surprise, though, this does not get rid of good ‘ol Jiminy, for his spirit haunts Pinocchio as he tries to assist him in proving his worth so he become a real boy. Sadly, one day, Pinocchio comes across an odd couple, a fox and cat,who then steal all of his money and take his life by hanging him from a willow tree. Number 8: Cinderella. With fairy godmothers, pumpkin carriages, and a beautiful ball, I’m sure everyone has heard of the timeless classic, Cinderella. Disney’s version did a fairly good job sticking to the popular version of the story written by the French author Charles Perrault in 1697; however, his story takes a much darker twist when the prince reaches Cinderella’s home with the glass slipper. When the stepsisters try the glass slipper on, it doesn't fit, so one of them cuts off her toes! And if this isn’t disgusting enough, the next sister to cuts off her heel! Cinderella then tries on the blood filled shoe in order to prove she is the girl he met at the ball. Pretty brutal. If this wasn’t gruesome enough, as the prince rides off with Cinderella into the sunset, two birds swoop down and peck out her stepsister's eyes. However, I will always question…how was this guy not able to remember the woman of his dreams? Was it really necessary to make the sure the shoe fit? Number 7: The Jungle Book. Released back in 1967 and then re-released as an action film in 2016, The Jungle Book tells a story of a young boy named Mowgli who is raised by wolves in the wild. That is, until Shere Khan finds out. Disney tells us the boy travels with a panther, defeats Shere Khan and makes his way back to a nearby village to live happily ever after. Lies, all lies. This fable, originally written by Rudyard Kipling, tells a much different tale. While Mowgli was still raised by the wolves, and does escape cat paws by the evil Shere Khan, when he returns to the village many of the villagers accuse him of practicing witchcraft and threaten to burn down the forest he grew up in. Mowgli, of course, couldn’t let this happen…so he gathers up an animal army to attack the village. Together, with an army of elephants and wolves, he destroys the villager’s crops, their homes and sends them fleeing for their safety.
