"don't stray off the path, you might break the bottle" Riding Hood's mum needs a visit from social services.
Yeah, in a day where children were treated as smaller adults and a child, no matter what age, could be jailed and executed as readily as their adult counterparts, there was no such thing as child protective laws. We've come a long way, baby.
The original red riding hood which originated from France is actually based on a true Story about a mass murderer which kidnappend about a hundred Girls in the Forest during the middle ages. The original Story is very brutal cause the Wolf did lots of crazy stuff like cutting red riding Hoods grandmother up alive and filling her blood in bottles and making red riding hood drink it before killing her too.
The grimm brothers just changed it up into a childrens Tale with a happy ending.
Oh and another interesting fact is that the villain is a Wolf because Wolf translates into 'loup' in french but 'loup' also means 'Young Crazy man'. So thats how the mass murderer became the "wolf".
OMG THAT IS SO AWFUL!!!
"Don't wander off the path, or you'll break the bottle" yeah, because that's the WORST POSSIBLE THING THAT COULD EVER HAPPEN.
FINALLY!
Woohoo! Woah I've never been so quick on a Carrie video before. It's weird seeing so few comments!
Love the video by the way! Also, I was wondering, what are the Hopeful tshirt sizes like? I'm usually a size 10/12 so shall I get a Small?
plz do more of fairy tails videos
Fairy Fails are always so much fun! Yay!
The first published version of this story was actually written by Charles Perrault in 1697. It ends very differently from the story you read and has some interesting connotations. Perrault also included a moral at the end of his tale.
If you're interested in reading it, I've found a version of it online: www.pitt.edu/~dash/perrault02.html
I love how sarcastic Carrie gets with these.
I love how passionately frustrated you get in this :')
ikr!!!
That's the best gift Alex could've given you. Free video content!
So weird looking back at these- I mainly read the Grimm versions when I was little and it all seemed perfectly reasonable. By the way, your eyeliner looks fabulous
the hunt man is grandma's lover and that is why he walks in the house just like that, without knocking
hahaha
I genuinely always thought that the story ended when the Wolf swallows Red Riding Hood and the Grandma whole, I didn't realise they somehow survived. :P
YES TO THE BOOKMARKS!
since the brothers grimm who collected all these fairy tales were german i guess also the fairy tale of little red riding hood is german. and in germany the little girl is called Rotkäppchen which means red hat. so probably the name is only a mistake in translation...
Carrie could we have a bookshelf tour? Please? I'm sure the other Hopefuls as well as myself would LOVE it xxx
Oh Carrie you absolute saint you, this helps ENORMOUSLY with my Final university degree show. My group are doing a modern retelling of little red riding hood with elements of experimental theatre and multimedia to perform it to a contemporary audience and this helps more then you could ever know so thank youuuu! Perfect timing too as we present our proposed idea tomorrow :D
The bookmark idea is amazing!! I have too many books and not enough bookmarks ._.
You can never have too many books :) But I have the same problem; not enough bookmarks....
Paige Le Geyt Miranda Penny I don't see a problem... read one book, use one bookmark, finish the book. Start the next book, use the same bookmark, finish that book as well and so on until eternity. As long as you don't lose that bookmark, you should be fine :-D
Emil N That's how I do it. And I usually use scraps of paper or folded over sticky notes (because bookmarks occasionally fall out of my books). But Hopeful bookmarks sound nice.
***** yeah they do sound nice, but I'm not sure I really need them... well I don't care, give me all them bookmarks! :D
But if you're like me, you'll be reading 10 different books at once. So, you know :s
A friend of mine took this course at college that for some reason covered the original fairy-tales, the actual story is far more disturbing. She told me about it, apparently there's a part where the wolf in grandma's clothes convinces red to eat dead-grandma meat because he didn't just kill grandma before red got there but sliced up her flesh and poured her blood in a bottle.. So creepy.
Yeah that's creepy.
In my english class my teacher was explaining Allegories to us, how fictional stories are supposed to teach people real life experiences in a simple way. And apparently little red riding hood is supposed to represent all children, and the wolf is supposed to represent sexual predators.
Oh fun...
Brie M.
Well, I quickly studied that years ago in French class, and the wolf is supposed to represent the adulthood coming along sexual intercourses. As daughters were never informed of these things by their mothers, they were all children, like Little Red Riding Hood, and the wolf represents the sexual apetite of men that is going to eat their innocence away...
So yeah, VERY NICE INDEED. (where did my lovely childish fairytales go?)
Ah, Germany.. where they used to frighten their children to listen to their parents. :p
Clémence Rolland Guess there's different ways a story can be interpreted since the sexual predator thing works too. So many ways an innocent sounding story can be manipulated.
Bookmarks would be awesome!!! :) Also, I loved this video, I really love the fairy fails!
Haha, I love your Fairy Fails videos, Carrie. And Yes!!!! Hopeful bookmarks would be fantastical!
YOU'VE GOT UGLIES BY SCOTT WESTRFIELD OMG YOUR SO PERFECT🙌
That was hysterical. I am going to have to read more of the original fairy tales.
Bookmarks would be awesome!
Bookmarks please!!! That'd be great! Posters and t-shirts aren't very practical for me, but bookmarks are!
I love your fairy fails videos they're hilarious! :) Also you should definitely do hopeful bookmarks! I started collecting bookmarks after you said in a video that you did (seems like a good idea when you read a lot) so i feel like it would be appropriate to have a hopeful bookmark in my collection!
I LOVE THE FAIRY FAILS! OMG!
This video is perfect, I like it from every angle :)
Firstly the ridiculousness of fairy tales is so sweet cause when you're young you just take it all on board like "OOH he swallowed them WHOLE!" and you don't let logic get in the way.
Secondly calling that ridiculousness into question makes for a lot of fun - imagine if these things actually happened!?! I like to wear the badge of the logic police on occasion as well and it's great to see things pulled apart like this.
Thirdly (and lastly) seeing someone be so passionate about it all is just so damn endearing.
Top notch Fletcher!
Also bookmarks ftw :)
I'd love a Hopeful bookmark!
Carrie I don't think you realize how much of my childhood you were part of. That commercial played here in the US on every station related to kids for years.... which means I've actually been watching you since I was like 7 or 8....and am now 23....
I guess I'm what you call a long-time-fan. :)
In the book I had when I was a kid, the wolf would be thirsty when he woke up, so he would go to a well and he would fall because of the weight of the rocks.
This is so funny, can't stop laughing at the 'swallowed the whole' bit 😂😂😂 thanks for yet another great video Carrie x
YESSSS Hopeful bookmarks is a hugely exciting ideaaaa !
FUN FACT: in the very very first trace we have of LRRH, the wolf is cooking grandma when LRRH arrives. He tries to trick her but she's too clever and then both the wolf and Red end up having a lovely sit down meal with the cake and wine she brought for Grandma, and they eat Grandma together...
Cannibalism got edited out somewhere along the way.
Ohmygod, Carrie, I remember that commercial!! Does this mean I've sort of known you most of my life? Freaky.
BOOOOOOK MARKS PLEASE?!?!? Thank you so much for this! I had a bad day and came on to watch the old ones to cheer me up an you have no idea how happy seeing this made me! xxx
Little red riding hood always seemed the most ridiculous fairly tail to me!! XD xxx
Fairy Fails are my favourite; I'm so happy you brought it back! And I love the idea of Hopeful book marks :) xxx
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ANOTHER ONE OF THESE FOREVA
Yes, I love the fairy fails :D
I love watching your videos because in addition to being so inspirational, you happen to have a knack of making something seemingly logical into something hysterical!! thanks Carrie!!
The original isn't actually by the brothers Grimm, I think? It was a folktale first, but the first one to write it down was Charles Perrault. I like that version better. Also, the title for it is "Le Petit Chaperon Rouge", which means The Little Red Cap (correct me if I'm wrong on the translation, because my French skills are almost non-existent).
*****
Yeah... it sometimes bothers me more than it should that the Grimm tales are so widely accepted as the originals.
I did a module last year in uni where we studied Angela Carter's version of the story. You're right Perrault did write it. But it's about sexual maturity and rape. The red cloak is representative of menstruation (sexual maturity) and the wolf is male sexuality. To meet with the wolf is an old French euphemism for losing your virginity... fucked up shit. Good story though. :)
I would love a Hopeful bookmark! I've been looking for one recently and there isn't great choice in the shops these days!
That was one of the most gorgeous books I've ever seen! The pages were gold!
That ending is the same as the Three Little Pigs... clearly the Grimm Brothers had limited story endings (or thought drowning the most interesting way to kill a wolf)!
The Grimm Brothers did not write these stories. Actually, they only collected the stories that were passed from one generation to the other in Germany but had not be written down before. They also made some changes because the fairy tales were sometimes very brutal, and they had to choose one version of several version of the same story. I guess that's the reason why there are overlaps. Many motives intermingled into one story although they actually derived from another story. So, the stories with the wolves might just have turned into two stories.
destinyRB Oh cool! =) Thanks! I don't know much about how they came to be so that's pretty interesting! =D
Little Red Riding Hood scarred me as a child. My biggest fear as a kid was wolves and it was all because of that fairy tale! I couldn't even get through the Prisoner of Azkaban when I was 8 because I had such terrible nightmares after reading the part where Harry sees Sirius in dog form at night. My cousin eventually had to explain to me that the dog was Sirius and that he wasn't bad just so I could get through the book!
PLEASE do another Fairy Fail, Carrie😄! These videos are my absolute favorites♥️.
.....love that the huntsman doesn't knock, particularly after the wolf did. Rude, geez :P
"The Story of the Youth Who Went Forth To Learn What Fear Was" is my favourite Grimm story so far.
omg i just watched the commercial with her in from cheerios its SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bookmarks would be a fab idea! plus these are my favourite videos
Please do more of these Carrie, they're great !
Carrie looks absolutely gorgeous in this video! I mean she always does but in this she looks seriously stunning! I love the eyeliner!
Read the Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus series. They are books meant for young readers, but it's and amazing collection based on Greek mythology with a very Harry Potter-ish vibe to them. I just finished House and Hades (the 4th in the Heroes of Olympus series) and it was magnificent.
Love your commentary! I always love your commentary!
Watching all your old videos again!!!!! :) xxx
I love how passionate you get about fairy tales!
I remember that advert! You were so cute :D I love these Fairy Fails videos. Keep shining xxx
your makeup was so flawless today!
I LOVE THESE. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR YEARS
Carrie...you missed the biggest fail....wolves can't talk ;) ;)
also yes yes yes yes for bookmarks.
I did say that ;) xxx
oops ;)
I loved this! You should really do peter pan- the original is so weird. The lost boys were slaughtered when they hit puberty.
And YES to the bookmarks! xo
wait what oO I read the one by JM Barrie and I thought they were adopted by the neighbour lady or whatever she was oO was that not the original?
The5T1N9R4Y I think they were right at the end but in the disney one they say that in neverland the boys never grow up. The original said they were killed before they could become men by peter and he found new lost boys
I may actually be able to talk my parents into getting the bookmarks if posting is ok! And 'clever Polly and the stupid wolf' may be the greatest interpretation of the story!! (in my opinion :P)
CARRIE PLS MAKE MORE OF THESE I LOVE THEM AND THEYRE WONDERFUL
+Grace Declines rolls in at the sight of your icon
man i wonder if carrie has read throne of glass. she should. also she should play celaena in a live action show or movie, that would also be pretty rad
I loved this video sooo much carrie!
The wolf could've just swallowed the grandma whole and took other clothes out of her closet to wear them, because surely the grandma doesn't only wear this one outfit, right? Still weird that two whole persons fit a) through the wolf's throat and b) both in his stomach at the same time, without being remotely affected by any stomach acid.
I love your Fairy Fails videos :D And Hopeful bookmarks sounds like an amazing idea !!
Whenever you talk about books, they're always my favourites! Weirdly similar reading tastes! Also, yes to bookmarks; I collect them :3 x
"Little Red Riding Hood - There's many flaws, SO many flaws!" Haha I love you Carrie and you should have way more subscribers :) xx
Your eyeliner is looking fabulous Carrie!
I love your fairy fails videos! Please keep making them :)
Side note: this was posted one day before my 20th birthday
These stories always make my day thanks xxx
OMG i love these videos please do more in future!! And hopeful book marks sound amazing!!
Fairy Fails is my favourite series that carrie does. So funny and good!
PLEASE KEEP DOING FAIRY FAILS
Omg I laughed so much at this bahahahahahaha "it's a snout" omg I spat my water everywhere hahahaha love you Carrie :) xxxxx
Please do more of these, they are my fave!!
I love these fairy fails! I only ever grew up with the originals and finally there is someone who sees the same things I do
i love your fairytale videos carrie you should do more! also bookmarks sound like a very good idea :D
Little Red Riding Hood probably needed some pretty strong glasses tbh xD
Your fairy fails videos are the best :D
I love your Fairy Fails videos! :D
I would love it you made Hopeful bookmarks!! :)
I think the tale makes a lot of sense when you use symbolism. The wolf being a sneaky/dangerous figure of sorts.
Love ya Carrie
Hahaha I love that you've posted this just as I'm studying Red Riding Hood in a Children's Lit class. To be fair, the Grimms' version isn't the "original," LRRH is an old folk tale with many versions so that's where the hood comes from; I believe the original Grimms' tale was actually called "Little Red Cap." But anyways - so funny. I've always been a bit freaked out that the wolf slept through his own dissection.
I would LOVE a hopeful bookmark! Please do those, they would be perfect! :D x
OMG!!
carrie plz make those bookmarks I love reading and all I use is just a normal piece of paper as a bookmark
Yes, bookmarks, please. But good quality bookmarks that will last!
Probably the best video you've ever made. This had me in stitches!
P.s, bookmarks would be amazing!
In some versions the wolf actually eats Red Riding Hood, no huntsman at all. In others the Little Red Riding Hood actually undresses and lays in bed with the wolf after burning her clothes and eating the remains of her real grandma (thinking it's wine and food, not human remains) and then she is eaten by the wolf. In some versions the wolf is and ogre, in others the gradma is a witch, who saves her granddaughter with a GOLDEN hood. And then there is the thing you said about drowning the wolf.
I thought I was like some weird time traveler who knew ALL of the versions!
Yay more fairy fails! Also, Stardust is really good. If you're into audiobooks you should check out that version as well. Gaiman's reading creates a really nice mood
Yes! More Fairy Fails! Please continue these Carrie :) xx
OMG I LOVED THAT COMMERCIAL!!!! it was one of the best ones!! that's so cool!!!
The original tale from Charles Perrault had Little Red Cap, which had her with a cap. The later Grimms' tale gave her a cloak because at that point in history (200 years after Perrault) caps were no longer a thing and cloaks were. Also in the original tale, it was an ogre, not a wolf. And in Perrault's tale, there is no huntsman, Little Red and Grandma just die. The Brothers' Grimm's version added a huntsman to lessen the violent nature. I have no idea where that ending came from though.
Sources: In-depth studying of fairy tales, specifically, Brothers' Grimm, Hans Christan Andersen, and Charles Perrault.
This is the story of little red riding hood that I've always been told..
The original character in German is called "Rotkäppchen" which basically means "Red Cap" (Kappe means cap and Käppchen is the trivialised form of it). So Red Riding Hood is basically a wrong translation of the name (though I think it does sound fancier than Red Cap).
FIRST!! :p (Finally and on Carrie's video which is even better) and I'd love a Hopeful bookmark and I love these videos thanks Carrie :D xxx
I personal,y would love a hopefull bookmark :D
"How old is little red riding hood,because she's a bit of an idiot!"-that made me laugh so much,probably more than it should of!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SERIES TO BE BACK
I love the fairy fails. Thanks :)
It is good to keep in mind Grimm's Fairy Tales,as most "fairy" type tales are across all cultures, were morality tales. This is what happens when you don't listen to your parents and talk to strangers. Also, if memory serves, the original Grimm's tales did not end with a living Red and Granny. That was added later to be more palatable to kids and their parents (there is redemption from bad decisions)
Yay, my favorite segment is back!
I love your fairly fails :D and hopeful bookmarks would be great! X
This makes me feel so old but I remember that commercial!
I loved this :3 You should do more like this
