Not the Perrault versions of "Cinderella" and "Sleeping Beauty".

The Grimm versions were adaptations.

Think of The Brothers Grimm as the American McGee to Charles Perrault's Lewis Carrol.

In fact the Perrault version of Little Red Riding Hood is the "distrurbing and violent" one. No Hunstman, Little Red Riding Hood just does.

Ironically, it's the Grimm adaptation that's the lighter and softer version of that story.
