* ''WesternAnimation/TalesFromTheCryptkeeper'': One episode featured a spin on the tail of Sleeping Beauty with an incredibly vain prince coming to waken her but forced his smaller, weaker twin brother to do all the work of entering the castle while he admired himself in the mirror. Then they discovered that the "princess" was actually a vampire. In the end, the abused brother ended up with the real princess and the vain prince ended up being turned into a vampire, a fate that horrified him because he could no longer admire his reflection in the mirror.
