> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > **Fractured Fairy Tales** 1. Shrek 2. Wicked 3. Once upon a Mattress I’ve forgotten whether TV movies are allowed-- and, sadly, while this has been filmed 3 times, they have all been TV movies, but otherwise, it’s the quintessence of the category. If TV movies are not allowed, just disregard it. ---

Snow White (1916) A story of witchcraft, greed, & murder, told as a framed story, by Santa Claus, with no one in 1916 apparently noticing anything incongruous about it. ---
