It was originally a poem written by the German writer, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and published in 1797. Later, it was adapted into a more symphoic poem by the French composer, Paul Dukas in 1896-1897. Unfortuantely, since Disney is such a well-known franchaise, most individuals often associate the poem with Walt Disney himself, like they do with popular fairy tales that everybody grew up with. I honestly cannot blame anybody who believes that Walt Disney created these stories, but it is still quite aggravating for me.

I totally agree. I keep myself from detonating when people say the show diverges from “Disney’s source material”, when the Disney versions themselves diverge hugely from the actual source material.
