# my daughter loves all the old Hans Christian Anderson stuff
as well as modern guff like Barbie stories.

The HCA stuff is really disturbing if you look too deeply at them. The Little Matchstick Girl is especially dark.

The modern Barbie and some Disney stories are utter, UTTER guff. Totaly made up to fit a product or a film

I'm glad she doesn't like Winnie the Pooh though. It is dreadful!

# I remember reading somewhere
that Dickens had met Hans Christian Anderson and partly based Uriah Heep on him

# Although Disney's version of the Little Match Girl
(I think it's on The Little Mermaid Special Edition DVD) is one of the most tragic bits of film ever - right there with Grave of the Fireflies. Seriously, it'll screw your kids up good and proper.
