I think the important thing in these stories isn't that they are violent, but that good always triumphs over evil (and hard work triumphs in the 3 pigs story).
It also highlights that sometimes life sucks, and that if you stick through it keeping to your convictions, that you'll come through the other side happy and wealty, and married to a handsome prince/ princess
There are many many aspects to these stories, and they are almost always educational.
BTW in the original three pigs story, the lazy two pigs were actually eaten - it was Disney who changed the story so they survived.
