A branch on the Something Completely Different tree in which in the characters are cast into a "storybook land" in which there are chivalrous knights, beautiful maidens and of course dragons.
Such archetypes will be applied to each of the lead characters, their current situations and relationships in order to draw on familar Archetypes but also to suggest a Happily Ever After Ending.
Note that these "Storybook" settings are incredibly generic. They are not adaptations of any previous material, just The Theme Park Version of fables and chivalry. If it is a straight adaptation of a specific fairy tale, then it falls under Fable Remake.
May or my not be a dream , as one character is often narrating.
- Scrubs "My Princess"
- X-Men "Jubilee's Fairytale Theater"
- Fairly Oddparents "Timmy the Barbarian"
- MacGyver "Good Knight Mc Gyver"
- Farscape "John Quixote"
- Samurai Jack: Aku reads some fairy tales to children with Jack as the villain of each one.
- The Cosby Show Had an episode where it was Rudy's fairy tale story, with all the actors as characters (in costumes that looked like they were drawn with crayon).
