They are the theatrical version of their original context. They were meant to frighten children, not put them to bed.

And yes, I believe that the tales are based on the Brothers Grimm stories; however, I've heard that it just jumps between random fairy tales, without actually stringing them together. I thought that it'd take all the stories, bring them together in a world, and then be thrown together through a well-written and thought out plot--but I guess I shouldn't have expected <em>quality</em> from Hollywood.

And then he totally eats "Red." Totally. So... the movie's probably "truer" than the Disney-fied versions we know.

And yes, the Brothers Grimm versions are very dark! Hence the modification to make them more palatable to children.
