There is magic that makes senses....

And then there is not.....

The whole deal with kissing people awake or the "kiss of true love." No such thing exists in the originals.....

Snow White - the prince has his porters carry her off and they stumble and drop her. The piece of apple is jolted out of her throat and she comes back to life. "Kiss awake," indeed....

Sleeping Beauty - it's not a kiss the king gives her, and she doesn't even wake up..... the inevitable happens and she has twins who are cared for by magic fairies. One of the babies works its way down to her finger and sucks out the splinter. Okay, so the fairies don't make sense - but getting rid of the splinter does....

And I've already covered the Little Mermaid... in the original, the prince has got to marry her in a church to give her half his soul....
