Certainly NOT most fairytales, that’s for dang sure. Those usually have the poor animal being Off-ed by the “hero” in order to break whatever spell they are under. Whoever said romance was dead? They ah... were right!? In this video, I'm looking at why “True Love’s Kiss” is a serious cop-out in storytelling. After reading hundreds of fairy tales, I can say that rarely do I encounter a story that goes from “dire hopeless” to “Happily ever after!” because of a kiss. Because of devious plots, torture, years of arduous travel, unlocking spelled coffins, nursing an errant baby, killing - yes! Because of a kiss? Not so much, my fiends. So, where does this mushy notion come from? As with many a thing in the pop-culture fairy tale Zeitgeist: Disney. Of course, THEY didn’t invent this kiss (don’t want to give them TOO much credit), nor were they the only storytellers to employ it, but they certainly did use it enough to where it’s become an eye-rolling cliché by now. I'm looking at older fairytales, such as the Brothers Grimms' "Snow White," and "Sleeping Beauty," Hans Christian Andersen's "The Littlest Mermaid," Giambatista Basile's "Sun, Moon, and Talia," and "The Young 'Servant' Girl," and older fairy tales such as The Enchanted Pig, The White Cat (Madame D'Aulnoy), The Glass Coffin (Grimm), Prince Lindworm, The Frog Prince, The World's End Well, The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood (Perrault), and East of Sun, West of Moon... to name a few!
