You're half right Astronomical girl.

Pinocchio is not one of the Grimm Brothers Fairy Tales, but was a short novel written by Carlo Collodi, who I think may have been an Italian. But it's true that Pinocchio actually squashes and kills Jiminy in the original story, although the cricket is actually nameless. Disney certainly did soften up the story in certain little ways like that.

Also in Cincerella, the sistered cut off their heals to make the shoe fit and more

Dude it was actually the other way around. Astro Boy was actually inspired by Pinocchio if I'm correct, his big brown eyes were inspired by Betty Boop's big eyes. Mickey Mouse might have had something to do with it other than the fact that he's Disney's mascot.

Astro's hair was inspired by how many American cartoons animated black hair and ears, basically in the way that the points never seem to change angle despite where Astro is facing. This also applies to Mickey Mouse and other black and white cartoon characters.

Tezuka actually said that, in the introduction to The Third Magician issue. I don't think he's said anything about Pinocchio or Betty Boop though, so citing your sources would be nice.

i mentioned about the ears and the spikes as well

I'm not interested in the princess stories but I think I recall that originally "The Little Mermaid" dies and her siblings experience some terrible thing of some sort.

Of course, Disney couldn't resist the urge to put in their happy endings.

[Astro Boy2866]

And they lived happily ever after.

Or did they? MUWAHAHAHAHA :d evil:

Pretty sure you meant The Beast, there...

In original novel of The Hunchback of Notre Dame was a lot more adult, which Disney tried to tone down. Some of the themes were still kept even though they tried to not make it very apparent. =P
