Have you ever been told the tales of Sleeping Beauty or Little Red Hood? Originally these tales were not as adapted for children as they are now. The original creator of these works, Charles Perrault, who was honored by Google today with a Doodle and who was born on January 12, 1628, wrote these tales with "less tact"of what Wall Disney would put when adapting it 300 years later.
Some stories, and later films, such as Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty or Thumb were originally written by Charles Perrault. Today the anniversary of his birth is celebrated with a wonderful Doodle that reviews his best creations. You want to know more?

Many people think that some of these children's stories were created by W alt Disney, but the truth is that this is a false statement Disney he compiled the works of Charles Perrault, the Brothers Grimm and those of Hans Christian Andersen, eliminating from them all traces of anything that could hurt the innocence of a child and adding your personal touch.
Google has taken its mark in history very much into account and has made several Doodles as a tribute, like the one we can see to continuation:
Not even Charles Perrault, whose 388th anniversary is celebrated today, was the original creator of works as popular as Little Red Hood or Sleeping Beauty, but rather he collected, with great skill and brilliant writing, the typical tales of the time that were passed from mouth to mouth
However, his footprint and his stories marked the childhood of all of us, occupying a space in the heart and the bookshelves of millions of children and adults. For this reason and much more, Google has wanted to give it a place on its home page with these wonderful Doodles.
What was the original work of Charles Perrault like?
The original works were not as childish as those we know today. W alt Disney must not have thought very well of Cinderella's stepmother forcing her sisters to cut off their toes and heels to fit into the prince's shoes.
The prince's relationship with Sleeping Beauty was not an inspiring model of tenderness either, since After having two children with her, he abandoned her out of fear of his mother, who clearly has cannibalistic inclinations. The rest can be summed up by imagining a mother-in-law in a boiling pot.
Wall Disney eliminated that "evil" from these works and adapted it to what we now consider to be something "normal" and educational for the smallest, but the truth is that in the time of Charles Perrault the tales were different, and it should not be censored for that reason.
Google has made, as we can see, a beautiful tribute to Charles Perrault with these Doodles, the father of many children's stories that marked our childhood.
