Alternate Version of Sleeping Beauty Movie of this

3 Upvotes

Hello, I come to this subreddit to ask if there's any Alternative Sleeping Beauty Movies that has this

"Cursed to sleep for a hundred years. Briar Rose awoke to find her loved ones were long gone. Full of grief and regret, she wanders the world, spreading her curse everywhere she goes."

or something similar to it, I'd like to watch this version of Sleeping Beauty without the Prince coming to save her, as it'll be an interesting story to watch, could be a similar bad ending story!

[Why I Started Writing "The Sparrow and the Prince]

2 Upvotes

I'm a pharmacist in South Korea.

A while ago, through my blog, I met someone whose writing stayed with me.

Before an accident, he was an ordinary office worker.

After the accident, he lost the ability to return to his previous work. He spent more than a year in the hospital. During that time, he started writing for the first time in his life.

Writing became one of the few things he could still hold on to.

But when he was told he could no longer remain in the hospital, everything changed again.

His daily life changed overnight, and writing quietly disappeared from it.

I couldn't change what had happened.

So I decided to do something much smaller.

I began writing a little fairy tale inspired by him.

He reads every chapter.

I don't expect these stories to heal his pain.

But if, while reading them, he can forget it for a few minutes and smile just once, I think that's enough.

Perhaps this little sparrow and its prince will also find a place in someone else's heart.

That's why I wanted to share this story with people beyond my country. Perhaps someone, somewhere, may find a little comfort in it too.

I'll be sharing a new chapter about twice a week, usually around 11 p.m. Korea Standard Time. Thank you for reading.

Princess x jester movie or series

I have been looking for a princess x jester movie or series, can you suggest any? I've looked everywhere🙃

I don't care what language it is in. And I'd be glad if it has happy ending, but I don't mind a tragic one. Don't spoil the ending for me when you suggest ^o^

This is my favorite puzzle of all. It is called "The Art of James Christensen." I know all the fairy tales on it except this one: The boy with the huge backpack flying through the sky. Does anyone recognize this one?

Hallo und herzlich willkommen!

Diese Community ist für alle, die sich für Märchen interessieren,

wie sie vor der Sammlung, Bearbeitung und Entschlüsslung durch die Brüder Grimm existierten.

Die Grimms haben diese Geschichten nicht erfunden – sie

erbten eine lange mündliche und schriftliche Tradition und

formten sie im Laufe der Zeit erheblich um.

Frühere Quellen – Perrault, Basile, Reynitzsch und andere –

erzählen oft ganz andere Geschichten als die,

mit denen die meisten von uns aufgewachsen sind.

Hier finden Sie:

📖 Primärquellenforschung und -analyse

🎬 Kurzfilme, die direkt auf Originaltexten basieren

(Reihe „Lange vor Grimm“)

💬 Diskussion über folkloristische, historische und

kulturelle Kontexte

Ob Sie nun wegen der Forschung, der Filme oder

oder einfach nur neugierig sind, wie unterschiedlich diese Geschichten wirklich waren – hier sind Sie richtig.

Wir freuen uns auf die Diskussionen.

The Little Star and the Kind Princess

5 Upvotes

Once upon a time, in a beautiful kingdom surrounded by sparkling rivers and green forests, there lived a kind princess named Lily. She loved helping everyone, from tiny birds to the oldest people in the village. Because of her kindness, everyone loved her.

One clear night, Princess Lily noticed a little star falling from the sky. She hurried into the forest and found the tiny star glowing softly on the ground.

"Oh dear," said Princess Lily. "You belong in the sky."

"My light is fading," whispered the little star. "I can only return home if someone with a truly kind heart helps me."

Princess Lily gently carried the star in a golden basket. Along the way, she shared her food with a hungry rabbit, helped a lost fox find its family, and comforted a frightened bird. With every good deed, the little star began to shine brighter.

At the top of the tallest hill, the Moon Fairy appeared in a sparkling silver gown.

"You have shown kindness without asking for anything in return," said the fairy. "That is the greatest magic of all."

She waved her wand, and the little star floated high into the sky, shining brighter than ever before. As a reward, the fairy gave Princess Lily a magical flower that would bloom forever, bringing happiness and peace to the kingdom.

From that day on, the kingdom became known as the Land of Kind Hearts, where kindness was treasured more than gold.

And every night, the brightest star in the sky twinkled just a little extra for Princess Lily, reminding everyone that even the smallest act of kindness can light up the whole world.

**The End.** ✨👑🌟

After more than 20 years, I accidentally rediscovered my favorite fairy tale book from childhood. It was bought for me in 2005, and I had assumed it was lost forever.
