Is Sleeping Beauty evil?

Ok ok ok.... so just like everyone else in this world, I am in LOVE with Disney! I was especially excited when my friend shared this video with me! I literally can not wait to see this show! For those of you who are as obsessed with Disney as I am.... you kind of feel a loyalty towards all the "oldie goldie" shows like Snow White, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, and in this case Sleeping Beauty. Maybe for some that's weird, but for me its totally normal :) So when I first saw this trailer, it totally drew me in. It was intense, the music was all mysterious, and action packed. Clearly this trailer was designed to draw people in and to get people excited about this film. However, the more I have been thinking about it, the more it sort of irritates me! I don't really remember the original Sleeping Beauty being so dark and creepy. Besides the lyrics of the song, the only phrase they say is "There is evil in this world. Hatred. And revenge." When they said that I was just like... "really??"
 From this.....
     
   to this.    
                                                                                                                                                         
Why is Disney taking a happy love story and turning it into a creepy horror film? Maybe the film is more focused on the evil queen or whatever and isn't really the actual Sleeping Beauty story. Who knows... the film isn't out yet. Now OBVIOUSLY I am going to see the show! How could you not??? But try watching it from another perspective. Was it necessary?
