Fractured Fairy Tales

Sweet Little Beet is a poor orphan girl forced into a life of drudgery and ill-treated by her wicked (and UGLY!) stepsisters. A mysterious (and invisible) Prince promises to wed the pure-in-heart maiden who can see him. Sweet Little Beet's wicked (and UGLY!) stepsisters make fools of themselves trying-but Little Beet succeeds! Will she marry the Prince? Well, not exactly... there's a problem.

Red owns a fur shop and finds she needs a wolf pelt. Meanwhile, the wolf is going to bring goodies to Grandma's house, and so Red does the riding hood bit in reverse. But there's quite a twist at the end as the wolf goes into the fur business for himself.

A Wicked Fairy casts a beautiful Princess into a never-ending sleep. The Prince who comes to awaken her changes his mind when he sees a chance for commercial exploitation-and turns her castle into a theme park and charges admission for the public to view her. (It is surely mere coincidence that the Prince is a dead ringer for Walt Disney!) When the Wicked Fairy shows up and wants her cut of the action, the Prince must dispose of her if he is to retain control of "Sleepingbeautyland." But is the Princess REALLY asleep? Who's exploiting whom?
