* ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicRiddle'', an Australian film features elements of fairytales including Literature/{{Cinderella}}, Literature/SnowWhite, Literature/TheUglyDuckling, Literature/LittleRedRidingHood, Literature/SleepingBeauty, Literature/{{Pinocchio}} or Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs.

* The final episode of ''Series/TalesFromTheCrypt'' retold "Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs" as a [[DarkerAndEdgier bloody tale]] where the wolf messily eats the first two pigs, then frames the third for the murder, resulting in a trial in a KangarooCourt.

* Pretty much the premise of ''Grimm''. Though this show utilises some of the lesser known Grimms Fairy Tales, in contrast to ''Once Upon A Time'' which goes for the more famous ones.
* The ''{{Series/Charmed|1998}}'' episode "Happily Ever After" uses this trope. Fairy tales are actually re-tellings of ancient battles between Good and Evil - and a WickedWitch seeks to use them to destroy the Charmed Ones. Paige eats Snow White's poisoned apple, Phoebe is turned into a pumpkin by putting on Cinderella's glass slippers and Piper is nearly eaten by a shape-shifting wolf.
* ''{{Series/SCTV}}'' - on the kiddie show "Mrs. Falbo's Tiny Town", guest G. Gordon Liddy (Dave Thomas) plays Goldilocks in a little story that focuses on the use of firearms when breaking into a strange house.

* ''WebAnimation/DarkSecretsOfGarrysMod'': In a ''Literature/ThreeLittlePigs'' retelling the three pigs build houses for themselves where they would have sex with a female pig. It got deleted but [[http://youtu.be/yoLXGjgMy_E?t=403 it is reuploaded into a compilation]].

** ''The Teal Mask'' (the first half of the DLC for ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'') introduces the Pokémon world's take on ''Literature/{{Momotaro}}'', with Pecharunt being Momotaro, the Loyal Three (Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti) being based on the heroic dog, monkey, and pheasant, and Ogerpon being based on the villainous oni. However, the player quickly discovers that the true story is far different: [[spoiler:Pecharunt and the Loyal Three were the ''villains'', a group of thugs trying to steal masks inlaid with valuable crystals from the innocent Ogerpon and her human partner, possibly killing said partner in the struggle. Ogerpon then killed the Three in revenge and injured Pecharunt until it retreated into its shell for ages, but that was the only part that the villagers saw, which led them to believe that the Three [[HeroicSacrifice heroically sacrificed themselves]] to save the village from the rampaging oni. Fortunately, the player, Carmine, and Kieran manage to set the record straight at the end.]] An equivalent to Momotaro in the form of the mythical Pokémon Pecharunt would be revealed later; following the trend, it's [[spoiler:an ObviouslyEvil poisonous creature who corrupted the Loyal Three, but the lore video released alongside it implies Pecharunt did everything it did for the adoration of its human parents (who were also partially under the influence of his poison), making it AmbiguouslyEvil]].

* The "Rex Mohs Cruci-fiction Special" segment of the ''WebVideo/ScottTheWoz'' episode "The Gifts of Gaming" is essentially an amalgamation of various fairy tales and Bible stories told from the perspective of Rex Mohs.

* Simon Hawke's ''Reluctant Sorcerer'' trilogy is so directly inspired and informed by the original Fractured Fairy Tales that you can ''hear'' Edward Everett Horton playing the role of the Omniscient Narrator.
