PociandSmith I don't think everyone has the spare time to read the whole fairy tales but I've found their summaries. So, we can agree to read the stories in these pages: http://flavorwire.com/344667/the-disturbing-origins-of-10-famous-fairy-tales (here there are 10 tales, but only 6 are about Disney Princesses-> The princess and the frog, Tangled, The little Mermaid, Cinderella, The Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and The sleeping beauty http://www.dbskeptic.com/2008/11/17/more-original-versions-of-classic-fairy-tales/ -> Beauty and the Beast, but there are also some of the ones mentioned above http://www.powhatan.org/pocc.html -> Pocahontas http://www.chinese-swords-guide.com/mulan.html -> Mulan (not the poem, the text) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aladdin -> Aladdin and then do the countdown. I'd really love a countdown like that. But, there's a problem. With Pocahontas, well...it's compilcated. Since she was a real person and not a fairy tale, there are lots of theories on her life. Historicians are not sure about many aspects of her life, there are even conspiracy theories about her being poisoned or raped, so we have to agree which version we should read. Even if it is true or not, I think we should read the one that's taught in schools. I've also found this page, which is really great and have comparisons but I don't think it will be fair, 'cause it doesn't have all the fairy tales and we can't find the missing ones, written in this way. http://dettoldisney.wordpress.com/category/disney-vs-original/ Hope this helped.

Swanpride I'm actually well versed in fairy tales....but I also don't think that every participant has to read all of them, because when the arguing starts, the main differences will come up either way.

Newbiehere13 I'm sure it's been voted because we all read them, but I'm not sure.

princecatcher93 I read them all so I can do it. But I don't think there is one for Brave or at least one that I have read.

Swanpride There isn't one...Brave is based on an original story, so I guess it should be excluded from this one...

Jayden-G I have read the basic summaries of each fairytale, the life of Pocahontas and Mulan. Yeah, Brave would have to not be in this one because it is an original, and is not based off a specific story

MaidofOrleans PociandSmith wow thanks for finding all of that for me! I have a website that has several of the originals as well: http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/ and I've read through most of them. People should check out that website too, if only because It's an incredibly interesting analysis of all of them. And yeah, I wasn't planning on including Brave since it's not based off of a fairytale.

dclairmont I've never read any of the fairy tales, but I'll try to read summaries, and when the countdown starts, comments, so I'll be at least some what well versed.

MaidofOrleans Check out the websites posted so far! Some of them are incredibly interesting!

MaidofOrleans I'm going to be on vacation for the next week, so I probably won't be on much, if at all. I'll start the countdown as soon as I get back!
