If you happen to be familiar in any way with Longsoft's adaptations (and you are from outside of Central and Eastern Europe), then you must have heard of the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 ports released by Creator/PhoenixGames in association with Aqua Pacific (yes, that's not their own original product), which are mainly characterised by their poor quality English dubs.

Added DiffLines:

* TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects: Most of these games feature 2D animated characters over [=CGI=] backgrounds and objects.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: ''Snow White'' replaces the seven dwarfs with human boys.


Added DiffLines:

* CompressedAdaptation: The animated shorts clock in at around 7 minutes each, so large sections of the story have to be left out. ''Pinocchio'' deserves an award for having a song that's less than a minute long covering ''everything'' (and we mean ''everything'': as soon as the song ends, it's back to the FramingDevice) after the first encounter with the Blue Fairy.
* GreenAesop: ''Peter Pan'' features the following line, in response to being told that Never Land looks very green:
--> '''Peter Pan:''' Yes. The Never Land residents care about nature. They love animals and don't destroy the gifts given to them by the earth.
* InformedAttribute: In ''Snow White and the Seven Clever Boys'', the narrator gives the boys sans Joseph Jr. various attributes, but we see little to none of them in action.
* SettingUpdate: ''Cinderella'' is set in modern times, with Cinderella driving a car to meet the prince at a nightclub. However, the narrator still calls these things a carriage and castle (which seems to be intentional, since he also mentions skyscrapers at the end).
