Oh, I quite agree. But the movie's combination of real-world horror and imaginary worlds jarred me nonetheless.

That fairy tales of old had horror elements does not convince me it's right for modern audiences, or for my tastes ... which are not usually squeemish. But I think excising the nasty bits from the Brothers Grimm was a masterstroke by Disney and others who have adapted ancient fairy tales for modern films.
