Sleeping Beauty (2025) The Original Story: What Really Happened While She Slept?

Most people think she just fell asleep but the truth is stranger and darker than the storybook Disney version. She slept for a hundred years. But what was really happening while time stood still?

Disney's adapted Sleeping Beauty came from stories that are so dark, they had to be censored. Disney’s Sleeping Beauty sanitizes centuries of darkness. Behind the dreamy castles and “true love’s kiss” lies a chilling tale of curses, silence, secret births, and horror that Disney never told you.

This video explains the true origins of Sleeping Beauty, from Giambattista Basile’s disturbing “Sun, Moon, and Talia,” to Charles Perrault’s elegant but eerie “La Belle au bois dormant,” to the haunting stillness of the Brothers Grimm’s “Little Briar Rose.”

✨ What you’ll discover in this video:
• The shocking original tale of Talia, a girl forced into motherhood
• How fairy tales were rewritten to erase the bad parts and rewrite consent
• The evolution of Aurora into a symbol, and how Disney’s Sleeping Beauty sanitizes centuries of darkness
• The terrifying role of the Queen Mother Ogress in Perrault’s forgotten sequel
• The disturbing silence at the heart of the Grimm version and why fate is the real villain
• The 2014 Maleficent twist: a curse born not of evil, but of betrayal

🕯️ From cursed spinning wheels to burning palaces, Sleeping Beauty’s real story is anything but magical. It’s a tale of time, trauma, and what happens when a girl’s life is written without her voice.
