Disney movies might have their fair share of tragic deaths and heinous injustices, but the origins of these quintessential childhood tales makeWrong Turn look family friendly.
We might have all baulked in horror when Bambi's mother was ruthlessly blasted into oblivion, but if Disney was true to their source material we would probably have all spent a lot of time in the therapists chair.
So, get ready to see your childhood favourites in a new and horrifying light as we explore the the grisly origin tales of some of Disney's most iconic movies.
The Little Mermaid
The fact that Disney's The Little Mermaid revolves around a 16-year-old girl sacrificing her voice to marry some random dude is dark enough, but in the original story, Prince Eric is a real dirtbag.
Hans Christian Andersen's tale is so heartbreaking and bleak in tone, that any child forced to watch it in visual form would suffer a sobbing fit that would last for weeks on end.
Not only is Ariel forced to have her tongue hacked out, she also spends her time on land with her feet constantly gushing blood in sheer agony.
Luckily, all of her suffering isn't for nothing and she meets her prince... Who then splits and marries another woman.
Ariel is confronted with the choice of slashing Eric's throat and allowing the blood to drip onto her feet so she can become a mermaid again, or leaping into the ocean and turning into sea foam.
Ultimately, she is unable to slaughter Eric so Ariel commits suicideand becomes the scabby old froth you always see in the corner of the beach full of plastic bottles.
Poetic.
