As you mentioned about the gory bits. Kids do love those but when I was young the fairy tale stories that I was told was all happily ever after. Only when I grew older I discovered the grim parts of the stories that we loved.

Hi, @watersnake101 :)
The same happened to me. I felt mixed emotions of gratifying awareness and horror when as a teenager, I got to reexamine the fact that seven-year-old Little Thumb had been abandoned to their fate in the forest twice by their parents, along with his six little brothers (the eldest was only ten). Their parents were so poor that they could not feed them. But you’re presented with this misery as if it was nothing, and later on you get to focus on the adventures of Little Thumb and how he could use those “seven league boots,” a challenging logic.
This story is not a Grimm tale, by the way. It’s Perrault’s (1697).
Thanks a lot for the visit :)
