Fairytale Deep Dive

Hey y'all! This week we talk about the inspiration for Disney's Tangled; the story of Rapunzel from the Brothers Grimm. Stories about maidens in towers are ancient but we start to see the version most people are familiar with pop up in Italy in the 1600's. We hope you enjoy learning about this as much as we did!

This week we talked about Tangled, Disney's version of Rapunzel. Most of us have seen the movie but not everyone knows that Tangled broke a lot of ground in animation and in how Disney Princess stories are told.

This week we've got a special episode for y'all! We talk about the history of Friday the 13th, why Friday is a spooky day and why the number 13 is a scary number (spoiler alert, most of it has to do with Christianity). We hope you enjoy this break from our usual content in honor of spooky season!

In this episode we finally finish The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi and it's just as chaotic as the last episode. We're also excited to announce that we've got a new person with us! Sandra is a phenomenal addition to this podcast and we know you'll love her! Where to find us: Instagram - @fairytaledeepdive Email - fairytaledeepdive@gmail.com Sources: Spinner, Stephanie, et al.

We're back! It's been a hot minute since we uploaded last, but life is chaos. We've been talking about starting up again and I recently found an old unedited recording we did about Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio, the inspiration for the Disney movie, so here it is! We're excited to end this hiatus we've been on and explore more fairytales with y'all! Sources: Spinner, Stephanie, et al. The Adventures of Pinocchio. Random House, 1983.
