Fairy tales, literary nonsense, tall tales...whatever you want to call them.  I'm a sucker for a wonderfully told, beautifully presented one.  Especially when they come in live-action form.  There's something... magical  when it's done right.  Some of these are taken right from the pages of a book, some are new takes on old tales.  If you get surprised by a title, stop and think about it for a second.  It'll make sense. :) Do you know of an adaptation from this wonderful collection of stories not listed?  Let me know in the comment section! ✦ ♦ ●♦ ✦ ♦ ●♦ ✦ ♦ ●♦ ✦ ♦ ●♦ ✦
