*Yikes!* If Disney movies were faithful to their source material they would probably not be for kids. The original fairy tales that Disney’s movies are based off are often quite horrible and gruesome. But I can’t help but think they may have been even better in some cases if Disney stayed a little truer to the original stories, at least they would have been way more badass! Paul Westover illustrated what it would be like if Disney movies stayed true to the source material they were based on for College Humor:

Starting with The Little Mermaid, based on a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen:

Tangled, based on Rapunzel by the Brothers Grimm:

Cinderella, based on Cendrillon by Charles Perrault:

Hercules, based on Greek mythology:

Tarzan, based on Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs:

Mulan, based on an ancient Chinese folk story called The Ballad of Mulan:

Pinocchio, based on The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi:

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, based on Snow White by the Brothers Grimm:
