So pretty on the outside ugly on the inside. Ugly on the outside pretty on the inside. Only The Grimms and Disney could get away with that.
You'd think.

i think if you like someone you find them attractive (not necessarily in a sexual sense).
If you are attracted to someone then you can quadruple the effect. i know the most handsome man on here is convinced i am biased by lust.  |

I have to say i am partial to the stories written by The Brothers Grimm. I like the fact they collected and recorded so much folklore and maybe without them it would have been lost. Many tales are dark and disturbing but still fascinating. I guess Disney in its way has kept things going so i am not going to knock them but i do prefer the darker originals. |

Disney is pretty dark - apart from the fact he was a wife beating child dungeon locker and fascist, most of his animation features vulnerable lost young people with an overbearing authoritative figure hovvering around in the background..... post jungle book have nothing to do with him and you cna see the changes. |

I always loved the tales around Zeus being the ultimate swinger although at teh age of 8 or 9 a swinger was somebody who sat on a garden swing;-) Seriously loved the sadness of Orpheus' story, loved how they all fussed about Helen of Troy etc... and yeah.. lets garble and dance.. or should that be gargle in a trance ?;-) xx |
