The Legend of Sleeping Beauty feels as if it was conceived as an original fantasy show for boys, but then the studio tacked on the Sleeping Beauty elements to try to attract girl viewers too. Because only about 5% of the show has anything to do with Sleeping Beauty!

apple white rant because i love ever after high and just reread the first book
it bugs me when people say they hate apple white because i feel like most of the time they don’t actually have an understanding of her character
her whole life she was told that the only way she could ever be happy was if she followed her destiny and signed the book. then she would be safe. the ways she went about it were very much wrong, but in many cases they weren’t really her actions but rather the actions of adults speaking through her.
also, even though she’s in a position of privilege, she has never held any power over her own life. in the books her and raven go on a quest to see what will happen if raven doesn’t sign, but it was manipulated by grimm to ultimately lead to a dead body as proof of their demise. the books do a really good job at showing the fact that she’s genuinely terrified for her life rather than her happy ending. it’s also specified in the books that she doesn’t think raven will actually become evil. she just thinks that raven will poison her and then continue with a life that will satisfy her (an over simplification but still)
a big part of the reason she’s so keen on having her story (outside of the grooming from all of the adults she trusts most) is bc when she was a kid she almost died and it solidified in her that the only danger she wants to face is the kind she knows she can survive, which does pose a threat of harm for others but it helps people understand her character a little bit more
anyway, in the first book she was more than willing to help raven find an alternative ending. insistent that she helped raven find a happy ending along side her before sealing their fates. even though she really wanted the fairytale ending, she broke rules and helped raven. their journey was corrupted by milton, though, and ultimately led to a dead body that claimed to have wished to sign the book.
she still displays selfishness throughout the series, but she’s a complex character and doesn’t deserve to be simmered down to a greedy, selfish, spoiled princess that’s mad because she won’t get a specific happy ending.
also her relationship with briar in the books is so cute
another interesting detail is before raven refused to sign, those not considered royal were called commoners instead of rebels
and it goes into better detail about what people see in the story book of legends and how they react to it
also apple can’t swim. idk if they mention that in the show
im such a freak about this series omg

Are there any fairy tales besides Peter Pan in which the child character never grows up for whatever reason?
I'm not sure about authentic fairy tales. But that one wild and wacky Italian animated series I recently reviewed, The Legend of Sleeping Beauty, has the hero Prince Rakhal cursed to never grow up. For sixteen years he stays physically twelve years old: only when he kisses the sleeping Princess Kindra will his own spell be broken along with hers.
