Line 284:
* [[The Brothers Grimm (creator)|Grimm's Fairy Tales.]]
** [[Reality Is Unrealistic|Actually]] many scholars have said the Grimms' version is [[Lighter and Softer]]. All those wicked stepmothers? Apparently many of them were ''actual'' mothers in the original versions, and ol' Jakob and Wilhelm thought that was depressing.
* Professional storyteller (yes, there is such a thing) Bil Lepp had much [https://youtu.be/pj5Pmknbv1s?t=336 to say about this trope in regards to literature]. He explains that a child playing video games, watching television, or reading graphic novels is a lot more prone to parental intervention than one reading a book, as the usual parent's response to their offspring sitting quietly with a book in their hands is that they are [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|broadening their minds]]. He uses this simultaneously as a way to attract children to literature (an issue he is quite passionate about), and to tell parents to <s> be more concerned</s> continue supporting young readers.
* The original stories behind the following from [[Walt Disney]] (see [[Disneyfication]]).
** Somewhat subverted, since it seems that these older original source stories were really intended for kids of all ages, back when "If you do this, you will ''DIE''" was thought to be the best way to teach kids lessons.
