Personally, if I were writing a version of this, I’d have her steal some gold before he came on the third day, pretend to be chill with marrying him, ask for a horse as a wedding gift and then book it out of the kingdom the night she gets the horse.

It’s nice that Britannica’s stories have a different animation style for each story even that the quality is quite varied throughout. Rumpelstiltskin’s characters have this carved look reminiscent of old wooden theater puppets with a distinct mouth part that opens and shuts in rolling fashion. Also that king’s demonic grin would’ve haunted me next night as a kid, so the animation still managed to retain that cautionary atmosphere as many old children stories tend to.

weirdly, the Olaf story has several similarities to a Norse Myth, where a disguised Giant comes to build a wall against the giants for the Gods, asking price being the Sun, Moon, and hottest of the Goddesses. Loki convinces them that if they give the builder a really short time limit, his pride will make him do the task but then he'll obviously fail so they would risk nothing... then he nearly does complete the task in the time provided, so instead Loki disguises himself as a hot female horse, distracting the builder's horse from doing his job so he fails to complete the task, reveals himself to be a giant, tries to attack the gods, but then Thor shows up and kills the giant... then several months later, Loki shows back up with a young 9 legged horse which he presents to Odin.

There's a story in Norse myth very similar to Saint Olaf's where a giant master-builder offers the gods to build a wall within a seemly impossible time limit in exchange for the Sun, the Moon, and the goddess Freya. Like Olaf, Odin tries to find a way to screw up the giant's progress so he doesn't need to pay the fee. But at least in that story, it's the giant's plan all along to shame Odin and take his wife. Saint Olaf here is just downright petty and evil.

5:52 Yeah, it's a little fucked up that Rumpelstiltskin is considered the "villain" of this story when honestly NONE of the main characters are likeable or redeemable. The miller's daughter is arguably the best character only because she technically didn't have much of a choice to begin with, and was caught up in a mess of bullshit she didn't ask for. 9:03 I don't think it's ever been definitely stated what Rumpelstlitskin wanted her child for (but if my knowledge of fairy lore is any indication, probably nothing good)...however I do like to imagine that Rumpel just really wanted to be a dad.

I actually remember watching this in class in third grade, and the part where Rumpelstiltskin shattering at the end scarred the crap out of me as a kid. --- I recently got a book that contained a bunch of Celtic fairy tales, one of them called "The Clumsy Beauty and Her Aunts", which is essentially like Rumpelstiltskin, but with three magic aunts who help her instead. And it had a happier ending, where the three aunts came to the wedding and when the Queen (who had the "clumsy beauty" marry her son so she could get the beauty to spin shirts non-stop) asked the three aunts why they massive feet, nose, and hips (because that's polite), they told her is was from all the spinning they do. And the prince was like, "Omg I don't want my new wife getting massive feet and nose from spinning all the time!", and so the girl was spared from having to spin for the rest of her life.

I really hope Phelous eventually reviews HBO's Happily Ever After Fairytales. After watching them again recently for nostalgia, I gotta say Rumpelstiltskin is probably one of the best episodes. They don't sugarcoat the fact that the king is basically a secondary villain and he even gets a bit of a character arc. Plus Rumpelstiltskin is legitimately terrifying, as he goes out of his way to explain why he wants the woman's jewelry even though he can make as much gold as he wants by himself: he likes taking things from people that have sentimental value and seeing them cry. And then when he's defeated, he gets so pissed off that it practically stops the video.

“Another story where a parent gets their child in trouble” I actually did think of this. This actually happens twice in Rumpelstiltskin the miller tells the king his daughter can spin straw into gold and the king orders her to do it or she’ll be executed then the miller’s daughter promises her baby to Rumpelstiltskin and the baby is almost taken by him. Also Rapunzel’s father stole from the witch’s garden so the witch took her and locked her in the tower and Sleeping Beauty was cursed because her parents didn’t invite the evil fairy to her christening and Belle had to live with the beast because her father took the rose from the beast.
