I find Grimmification a poor name for the trope. My understanding is the Brothers Grimm bowdlerized what they published. Sure they left the violence and gore in, but they took out the sex. They also made one of Hansel and Gretel's parents a step parent and made the actual one more reluctant to ditch the children.
