The ******** wrong with Hollywood?It really pisses me off, since she was one of my favorite Disney Princesses as a kid. emotion_eyebrow
What's sort of funny about your comments is the Disney VERSION you are referring to is itself a "BF'd" version of the original story. In the original the witch leaves Snow White for dead on three different occasions (makes both the witch and Snow White seem rather dim). Then after she is 'dead' the third time and in the glass coffin the prince likes the look of her dead body so much he talks the dwarfs into letting him take her and her coffin. I'm not sure if he was into necrophilia or just had a really weird trophy room but either way wanting to take a dead body home with you is a bit out there. In the original version the prince didn't even know her before she was 'dead'. He just came along and liked the look of her dead body. Yum!

I think I've read that version before too...and a few others. There's many different versions of Snow White, as there are with any other fairytale out there. People have interpreted them differently throughout the years and have told them differently for different reasons. Disney's version of Snow White was merely for show, for the pleasure of watching a nice story unfold, for the family to get together to watch a movie, etc. I believe the version you're talking about...well, it was just a story that was being told, to entertain, just like the disney version, though the disney version is supposed to be a more "kid-friendly" as well as being visually appealing, another aspect which the story version, that you spoke of, didn't have. Old fairytales of that sort were done orally and weren't recorded until later on as much of what was written, before stories, were more factual relating to life around them. Plus, they didn't care about things like necrophilia in stories back then, it was supposed to add effect to the story, that she was so beautiful that even in death, random wandering princes fell in love with her. Yeah, she's THAT gorgeous!.. though I was rather creeped out when I heard that part. lol
