Hey folks!Do you know who created Cinderella?I don't.
Hey folks!Do you know who created Cinderella?I don't.
And it turns out that no one does.But what we do know is that the story has existed for over two thousand years, with over 500 variations travelling across continents and cultures long before books, movies or copyright laws existed. Along the way, every generation added something of its own. The French gave Cinderella a fairy godmother. The Brothers Grimm made the story, well, more grim.
And Disney turned it into the version most of us know today.Yet no one can point to the "original" creator because that's not how folklore works. Stories survive precisely because they belong to everyone.For a while, it seemed like the internet had killed that idea. Every photo had a creator, and every YouTube video belonged to someone.
