  then it became a less scary distant legend
  
  Disney are mostly in the fairy story business, then again they did adapt The Hunchback of Notre Dame which was a weird choice

  "This window is generally considered to have been created in memory of a tragic historical event for the town. Also, Hamelin town records start with this event. The earliest written record is from the town chronicles in an entry from 1384 which states: "It is 100 years since our children left.""

  i wonder how much of the story is based on real events.  100 years is a long time.
