05/26/21 • 53 min

Casual murder and true crime’s kiss lead to a happy marriage! Who knew? Don’t learn any lessons in this classic tale about breaking promises, pets at the dinner table, and again- murder. We cannot stress that murder, intentional murder, takes place in this story. Oh and there was never a kiss. Whoops. Thanks, Disney.

This story about a Princess hoppin' away with murder is from the Brother's Grimm. Originally titled: Der Froschkönig oder der eiseme Heinrich.
