The little dark-haired Miss Glum at 4:30 is pouty and interesting--seems like she could have a fairy tale built around her. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely production!

yeah that's really surprising at the end, and kinda eww, with her marrying the father, but LOL with the helicopter thats downright hilarious!

[luna4ever36]

Lol the prince is kinda cute and sweet you know, like he didn't shudder too bad when the old lady came and was really sweet to the little girl princess.

@SomberIngenue This is the story of Donkey Skin. It is a French story written by Charles Perrault. Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics is based on fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm (kinda obvious by the name).

@SomberIngenue they adapt this tale in the series like coat of many colors, I saw it and love it

OMG this story was pretty absurd and that ending where the fairy Godmother marries the girl's father? *face/palm* Did anyone else see Grimm's Fairy Tales (an animated series from the 80's) where they adapted this story as well? As much as I adore Jacques Demy and Michel Legrand....I was a bit aggravated with they had the plot here. I like it better when the princess escapes, the castle catches fire, and the awful king who wanted marry her dies. :)

@daphane71 As the king says in the beginning, the fairy knows the future, she travels there and brings back poetry from the XX th century as well as a phone (you can see it in the scene when she sings the daughters and fathers song. She also mention a battery at some point. She's modern : she wears high heels and short hairs, and her dress is also more modern than the rest of the costumes, which are a meddley of XVI th and XVIII th centuries. It's quite normal for her to use such artefacts.

question, why does a helicopter suddenly appear???

[cyparris3]

I agree about the fairy but concerning the ring I must say it is a fairy tale..it's symbolic
