Can anyone think of faiytales that include curses?

[nkf]

I can only think of Beauty and the Beast but there must be more. Anyone?

Sleeping Beauty (kind of)? The Princess and the Frog?

rapunzel (didn't it?...something to do with cabbages?)

Thank you. Excellent suggestions.

snow white/ rose red - bear was a prince.

sleeping beauty

can't think of other at the moment

oh that wasn't a curse, was it? that was a promise gone wrong... sorry

swan princess.
shrek - ok not a fairy tale in the traditional sense but still...

snow white
sleeping beauty

Yes, Sleeping Beauty. The thirteenth fairy who hasn't been invited to the christening puts a curse on the baby that when she is 16 she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel.
The doesn't another fairy change it to 'she will sleep for 100 years?1

What's the curse in Shrek?

Beuty and the Beast isn't exactly a curse, is it? It's a bargain.

Princess Fiona being an ogre

three bears

I think the Beast is under a curse if I remember correctly. Or it may be I'm muddling the original story with the Disney version.

The curse in Shrek - Fiona turns into an ogre at sunset.

isn't fiona cursed to look like a troll at nightfall until she meets her true love?

i haven't seen the film in a long time so can't remember it all.

The twelve dancing princesses

she has to have her 'true love's first kiss' to break the curse - seen it lots of times [sigh]

the one with the toad prince.... i think

Frog prince / princess and the frog (never know which title to go with)
yes rapunzel was the one i wandered in to say but they beat me to it

Whats the curse in Snow White? Thats poison apple - but it actually got stuck in her throat so she didn't swallow it (depeninding on which version you read)

the little mermaid is a curse too .... is it

The Red Shoes - Hans Christian Anderson. She is cursed to dance to her death in those shoes.

yes the red shoes

six brothers turned into swans with little vests

and i found blue fairy book while looking for something else (even more sinister). oh how i loved the fairy books.

Brilliant. Thanks.
