Random Musings

This is my primary blog. I have a secondary blog dedicated to my profound love of the Autumn season, which can be found here: http://octoberwoods.tumblr.com/. Random Musings is not really a theme blog, it is about what I like, what I find beautiful and inspiring. There will be a lot of vintage, nature, whimsy, geek, fantasy, sci-fi and much more. Enjoy! :)

WAIT WAIT WAIT

YOU'RE TELLING ME

THE TITLE CARD FROM CINDERELLA (1950) EXPLICITLY SAYS IT'S BASED ON THE PERRAULT VERSION OF THE STORY???

WE COULD HAVE AVOIDED ALL THE SANCTIMONIOUS EDGELORDS SMARMING ABOUT HOW "well Disney toned it down; the One True Grimms' Original akschully has blood and no fairy and feet getting cut up, so there" IF THEY HAD JUST

BOTHERED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE MOVIE AND THEN GOOGLE "PERRAULT CINDERELLA???"

excuse me I need to go scream into a pillow

(I'm not saying Ashenputtel isn't possibly older as a folktale than its 1812 publication date in the Grimms' book, but Perrault's version was published in the 1690s. so...)
