* ''[[Snow White (Disney film)|Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs]]''. The original script was actually closer to the original fairy tale than the final film, but as the film was made during the [[Great Depression]], the animators could not afford to make the film as long as the source material demanded (such as having the witch try multiple times to kill Snow White, and the opening with Snow White's mother.) |

** In the original story, the queen is exposed for her crimes at Snow White's wedding to the prince, and is burned to death. In the Disney film, she is chased on top of a cliff by the dwarves, struck by lightning, [[Disney Villain Death|falls off]], and is presumably eaten by vultures. A bit more violent to be sure, but at least this way, [[Self-Disposing Villain|none of the heroes had to do the dirty deed]]. |

*** The Witch does survive in the comics, though her later activities are less malicious. |

* ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]''. You wouldn't think [[Victor Hugo]]'s [[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (novel)|original novel]] would be suitable fare for a children's movie. Despite being one of Disney's darkest movies, they still made it much nicer than the book - Esmerelda was nicer, Phoebus was nicer, Quasimodo was nicer, there was a clearer line between good and evil, and the good guys didn't all die or kill themselves at the end. |
