Once Upon A Fairy Tale discussion

I don't know about y'all, but I am a total nut for anything related to the Little Mermaid. I've loved it since I was old enough to read and I can't begin to tell you how long I've waited to see an on-screen adaptation of H.C. Andersen's book. (If there's already one out there, please do let me know because I am unaware of its existence!)

That said, I REALLY want to see The Little Mermaid hit theaters next. I've heard that Carolyn Turgeon's novel ("Mermaid" -- a retelling of the original) may be coming to theaters, so that could definitely suffice. *Fingers Crossed*

What do you think? Is there a certain beloved fairy tale that you would like to see hit the theaters? Perhaps one that does not receive the amount of attention it deserves?

East of the Sun and West of the Moon hands down must be made into a movie. There is a really bade version from the 90s called the Polar Bear King, but that is painful to watch... I honestly don't care if Disney makes an animation or if it is live action. On another note, if they made a movie out of this book retelling, East, I would probably die of happiness!

I agree they should make a little mermaid movie adaptation. The way they've taken off with fairytale movie, no doubt someone's already working on a script!

My all time favourite fairy tale, "The Goose Girl" is the one I'd like to see made into a film: live action mixed with CGI, not animation.

I'd like to see a new version of The Snow Queen (live action), and one of The Tinderbox!

Yes That would be amazing! Have you seen this version of The Snow Queen?
I was looking around imdb and it says there is a version called Frozen, animation but look who it says is the production company!!!! XD

OH no! I got so excited, but reading further in that article, it mentions how some dude named Kristoff "leads her thru the mountain to the Snow Queen".... which betrays one of my favorite parts of that fairy tale - that Gerta finds Kay herself! the lady saves the day! Oh, Hollywood. *sigh*

To answer your other question, I did enjoy some of the Bridget Fonda one, but it's my favorite fairy tale so I hold it to impossibly high standards ;-)

Yeah... I know how you feel... yes that bit of the article is a bit perturbing to say the least...

Josephine: Try A Slice of Sky for the male version.

I've always loved the Two Caskets. Also, the fairy of the dawn. I'd really love to see a decent movie on the 12 Princesses- Maybe modeled after Jessica Day George's version. Also- the one with the 12 princes who turn into birds- and their sister, who makes the rosepetal vests.

I would want to se entwined :) it was darker than the original 12 dancing princesses and it was soooo good:)
