10	[[SelfDemonstratingArticle Once upon a time]], there was this troper who decided to come up with an idea for a brand new trope. This is essentially a trope where different fairy tales are often retold, often in in new or hilarious ways. The most common fairy tales that are told are Literature/LittleRedRidingHood, Literature/JackAndTheBeanstalk, Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs, Literature/{{Cinderella}}, etc.
11
12	If a fairy tale is often derailed and ends significantly different than how they originally end, then this is a FracturedFairyTale. If multiple fairy tales feature in the same story, it's FairyTaleFreeForAll.

26	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
27	* [[Creator/FujikoFujio Fujiko F. Fujio]] has implemented various elements from fairy tales, folklore, myths and legends in his manga:
28	** The premise of volume 11 of ''Manga/DoraemonsLongTales'', [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doraemon:_Nobita%27s_Dorabian_Nights ''Nobita no Dorabian Naito'' ("Nobita's Dorabian Nights")]], is that the Doraemon gang has to rescue Shizuka, who's trapped in an ''Literature/ArabianNights'' comic book, after Gian and Suneo mix all the fairy tale comic books up, which results in [[Literature/SnowWhite the evil queen with the poison apple]] going to [[Literature/HanselAndGretel the wrong home]], while Literature/TheLittleMermaid trying to rescue [[Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio Geppetto]] and returning to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ry%C5%ABg%C5%AB-j%C5%8D Ryūgū Palace]], etc. The only way to save her is to [[TimeTravel go back]] to ancient Baghdad and team up with Literature/SinbadTheSailor, now a retired old man.
29	** There's also a series titled ''[[https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%B8%96%E7%95%8C%E5%90%8D%E4%BD%9C%E7%AB%A5%E8%A9%B1 Sekai Meisaku Dōwa]]'' which consists of shorts parodying classic fairy tales. Here, Literature/TheUglyDuckling is an actual duckling mistakenly adopted by a mother swan, the Literature/SleepingBeauty becomes sleepless after sleeping for so long, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urashima_Tar%C5%8D Urashima Tarō]] returns to Earth and finds out it has been taken over by [[Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes the apes]], and Literature/HanselAndGretel trick the witch into opening a diner.
30	* ''VisualNovel/OtobokuMaidensAreFallingForMe'' had the OVA titled ''[[Literature/{{Cinderella}} Tsunderella]]'', which recast Takako as Cinderella while the main protagonist, Mizuho, gets recast as the Prince. Similarly, many other characters from the series get set in roles befitting Cinderella.
31	* An early episode of ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' is titled "Haruhi in Wonderland". Among all things, it features Honey as the White Rabbit, the twins as the twin Cheshire Cat, Tamaki as the Mad Hatter, and others. There are also four [[spoiler:actually five]] Alices: The twins as Alice A and B, Tamaki as Alice C, and finally Haruhi as the 'true' Alice. [[spoiler:And at the end we get Mori as Alice D]].
32	* An episode from the ''Anime/SailorMoon'' second season features the Sailor Senshi participating in a Snow White play directed by [[TheOneGuy Mamoru]]. To their dismay, the four Inners (along with [[BetaCouple Naru and Umino]]) get cast as dwarves, Usagi gets cast as the Evil Queen, and Natsumi Ginga (one of the main villains of the season) cons her way into playing the fair maiden herself.
33	* ''Manga/ScienceFellInLoveSoITriedToProveIt'': The second half of [=S1E07=] involves several fairy tales being given a scientific spin courtesy of the cast. Their version of ''Literature/TheTaleOfTheBambooCutter'' involves Kaguya challenging her suitors to solve UsefulNotes/FermatsLastTheorem. The first suitor, who isn't good at math, is stumped. The second, with average ability, feels confident that he can solve it with assistance. The third, who is proficient, realizes that she doesn't intend to marry. After the tale's end, Himuro continues to a spiel on the history of the proof of the theorem before Kanade cuts her off.
34	* Volume 7 of ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What%27s_Michael%3F What's Michael]]'' features some fairy tale parodies:
35	** Poppo is Literature/{{Cinderella}} and Michael is the prince. When she tries on the glass slipper, he finds out the one cat who stole his cake and run away.
36	** Shinnosuke is the [[Literature/TheUglyDuckling "ugly puppy"]] trying to fit in with his cat mother and siblings in a comfortable home.
37	** [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urashima_Tar%C5%8D Urashima Shinnosuke]] gets to go to an exclusive "catbaret" club after saving a kitten. However, when he opens the jeweled box on the way home, he finds a bill of 458,000 yen.
38	* One chapter of ''Manga/YandereKanojo'' features the cast in a Cinderella world, with [[{{Delinquent}} Reina]] as Cinderella and [[GoldfishPoopGang Nanami and her gang]] as the stepmother and sisters. She bullies them instead. She also ends up with the Wizard (fairy grandmother stand-in), who is played by [[OfficialCouple Tanaka]], instead of the prince (who is played by [[ButtMonkey Shiratori]]). Turns out it was AllJustADream from Reina.

41	[[folder:Asian Animation]]
42	* ''Animation/HappyHeroes'', which is about alien RobotKid superheroes called the Supermen who fight many a MonsterOfTheWeek, has an entire StoryArc in Season 4 called "The Fairy Tale Adventure" that gives a focus on fairy tales. The arc, which covers episodes 27 to 32 of that season, is about the Supermen going into the fairy tale world to restore the stories that have been [[FracturedFairyTale fractured]] by Big M. and Little M., the series antagonists, as part of one of their evil schemes. The Supermen take on the role of certain fairy tale characters, such as Sweet S. becoming the Witch from "Literature/SnowWhite" and feeding Big M. a cooked apple instead of a poison apple (Sweet S. is a LethalChef, so the joke is that she just has to cook the apples to make them taste disgusting).
43	* ''Animation/{{Lamput}}'': "Robinput" has Lamput tell the docs the story of Myth/RobinHood, casting him, Specs Doc, and Skinny Doc as Robin Hood and his merry men and explaining how they stole treasure from an evil king.
44	[[/folder]]
45
46	[[folder:Comic Books]]
47	* ''ComicBook/CartoonNetworkActionPack'' had multiple ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' stories in which Aku tells a pair of children fairy tales designed to put himself in a good light and slander Jack. Some of them were [[FracturedFairyTale fractured]], while others were played straight.
48	* 1997 mini-series ''Daydreamers'' star Franklin Richards (with reality-altering powers), his mutant friends Leech and Artie, and Howard the Duck. In the first issue, they meet storybook characters based on Marvel characters: Dr. Strange is a mustached Galinda; the Scarlet Witch is the Wicked Witch of the West and her sister; the Green Goblin is the Genie of the Lamp; a purple-hued Hulk is a Tweedledee-Tweedledum gestalt, and the munchkins is a whole race of The Thing.
49	* The ''ComicBook/MarvelFairyTales'' Elseworlds retell different fairy tales from around the world with the Comicbook/XMen, ComicBook/TheAvengers, or ComicBook/SpiderMan in the main roles.
50	* In ComicBook/TheMightyThor back-up-feature "Tales of Asgard", a version is told of Little Red Riding Red. While the Goddess Idunna is taking her golden apples to the Ruler of the Gods Odin and wearing red, the Wolf Fenris shapeshifts into a human to get close to her, then attacks her. However Harokin the Hunter uses his magic sword to banish Fenris to the Netherworld. The story lampshades this by saying it was eventually adapted into Little Red Riding Red.
51	* In ''ComicBook/SoulsearchersAndCompany'' #5, the woods outside of Mystic Grove are magically transformed into a fairy tale forest, with all of the attendant threats: including the cannibalistic witch from ''Literature/HanselAndGretel''.
52	[[/folder]]
53
54	[[folder:Fan Works]]
55	* In the ''Fanfic/PrettyCureMagicOfTheRainbow'' chapter "Fairytale Fun", the Cures and fairies throw a fairytale-themed party. Everyone dresses up fancy, make themed snacks, and [[Anime/SuitePrettyCure Hibiki]] and [[Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure Towa]] perform the main theme of ''Theatre/SleepingBeauty''.
56	* In one chapter of the ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' fanfic ''Fanfic/ShiningAndSweet'', the boxers feature in a retelling of ''Literature/SleepingBeauty'' called "Sleeping Fabulous", starring Disco Kid as the title role.
57	[[/folder]]
58
59	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
60	* ''WesternAnimation/FunAndFancyFree''. The segment "Mickey and the Beanstalk" retold the story of ''Literature/JackAndTheBeanstalk'', with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy taking the place of Jack.
61	[[/folder]]
62
63	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
64	* An episode of ''Series/Charmed1998'' has the sisters finding out that at one point in time all fairy tales were actually true, and they have to battle against an evil witch who finds out by asking her magic mirror that she isn't the most powerful witch in the world because the Charmed Ones are. To fix this, she puts the sisters into different fairy tale roles in order to kill them -- Phoebe becomes Cinderella, Paige is Snow White, and Piper is Little Red Riding Hood.
65	%%* ''Series/TheMonkees'': "Fairy Tale"
66	* The whole of the first season of ''Series/OnceUponATime'' is an inversion as it's several fairy tale beings unknowingly trapped in the "real" world thanks to the Evil Queen's spell.
67	* ''Series/OurMissBrooks'' has "Cinderella for a Day". A mysterious shoe salesman lends Miss Brooks a custom-made gold slipper until midnight. Miss Brooks is treated to several Cinderella-style presents, from the same mysterious donor, that allow her to attend the masquerade ball at the country club in style. [[spoiler:It turns out the shoe salesman was a millionaire gambler who had placed a bet with a expert shoemaker that he could find a feet that would perfectly fit the custom made slippers. The gifts were partly his reward to Miss Brooks, and partly for laughs.]]
68	* ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch''
69	** In the Season One finale, a troll kidnaps Sabrina in order to force her to be his bride, he locks her in a tower and its up to Harvey to save her. In true Rapunzel fashion Sabrina casts a spell to make her hair absurdly long and Harvey climbs her tresses in order to get into the tower.
70	** In another episode Sabrina drops some magical beans which cause a giant beanstalk to grow in her back yard. Harvey ends up at the top of it but rather than a giant being there, there is an evil witch in a gingerbread house like in Hansel and Gretel. And she is prepared to fatten up and then eat Harvey.
71	* The ''{{Series/Scrubs}}'' episode "My Princess" features a FramingDevice of Dr Cox telling his son a story about his day at the hospital, disguised as a fairy tale. JD is the village idiot, Elliot is a princess, Turk and Carla are a two-headed witch, Kelso is a dark lord with Ted as his hunchbacked minion, the Janitor is a giant, Cox himself is the knight in shining armour, the illness takes the form of a monster attacking a helpless maiden and Jordan of course cameos as a WickedWitch.
72	* ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOnDeck'' had an episode that put the main characters into different fairy tales. They had fallen asleep in class and the fairy tales themselves were all just dream they were having.
73	* The ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' episode "[[Recap/SupernaturalS03E05BedtimeStories Bedtime Stories]]" has fairytale-inspired murders (a nice old woman eats people who got lost in the wood, for example). It turns out to be the work of a comatose girl's projected spirit, who influences people to act like the fairy tales she heard her father narrating.
74	* The final episode of ''Series/TalesFromTheCrypt'' is "The Third Pig", a FracturedFairyTale version of the Three Little Pigs. It's also animated as well.
75	* ''Series/UltramanLeo'' had a six episode arc called the "Japan Masterpiece Folklore Series", which gave classic Japanese fairy tales an "''Ultraman''" twist. How faithfully the original story was followed varied between episodes, but all of them had the added bonus of a [[MonsterOfTheWeek giant monster/alien of the week]] that fit the fairy tale being told.
76	* ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'' had an episode in which a spell forces Harper to live out the Cinderella story, with Mrs. Russo as the stepmother, Alex as the fairy godmother, and Zeke as the prince. Unusually for this trope, they do nothing to change the characters' appearance or setting, but Harper does get wear a lavish, purple dress for the ball. However, due to pages being ripped out if the book, the universe switches mid-story from Cinderella to The Three Little Pigs, with Max, Justin and Zeke as the pigs, and Mason (Alex’s werewolf boyfriend) as the Big Bad Wolf.
77	* ''Literature/TheWorstWitch'' plays with it in the ChristmasEpisode by featuring the girls putting on a pantomime of ''Cinderella''. A straighter example is the Season 3 finale where the girls accidentally conjure up the WickedWitch from ''Sleeping Beauty'' and Mildred has to summon a PrinceCharming to save everyone.
78	[[/folder]]
79
80	[[folder:Video Games]]
81	* Season 8 of ''VideoGame/BrawlStars'' was entitled Once Upon a Brawl, containing a castle environment, fantasy themed skins, a new knight Chromatic brawler... [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and an abundance of]] [[GenericGraffiti graffiti tags]].
82	[[/folder]]
83
84	[[folder:Web Animation]]
85	* ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'' has "Dunce Upon a Time" which is a retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk, with Lumpy as the giant.
86	[[/folder]]
87
88	[[folder:Western Animation]]
89	* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'' was based on Beauty and the Beast. Some years before Jasmine was born, the Sultan stole a flower from the WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds plant-wizard Arbutus. He vowed to return and steal "your greatest treasure," which turned out to be Jasmine. She doesn't fall in love with him, obviously; but in keeping with her role as Beauty she ''does'' try to get Aladdin and Arbutus to reason with each other and when that doesn't work, she's the one to have SympathyForTheDevil.
90	* More like Fairy Tale ''Season''; the second season of ''Series/{{Alf}}'''s AnimatedAdaptation is re-named ''Alf's Tales'' and based around the classic fairy tales played by Melmacians.
91	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' has the Warner Siblings parodying given fairy tales such as ''Cutie and the Beast'' (Beauty and the Beast), ''Cute First (Ask Questions Later)'' (Snow White), and ''The Warners and the Beanstalk'' (Jack and the Beanstalk).
92	** The reboot ''WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020'' has the episode ''1001 Narfs'' which showcases WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain trying to impress a sultana with Arabic fairy tales ala [[{{Literature/ArabianNights}} Scheherazade]].
93	* ''WesternAnimation/BeanyAndCecil'' presented "So What and the Seven What-Nots" and "Beany and the Jackstalk." In the first, Cecil serves as [[PunnyName Prince Chow Mein]] as his patented slurp wakes So What.
94	* WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts: along with straight adaptations in the WesternAnimation/SillySymphonies, the main character series occasionally took detours into storybook land.
95	** "WesternAnimation/ThruTheMirror", with WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse taking the role of Literature/{{Alice\|InWonderland}}.
96	** "WesternAnimation/BraveLittleTailor", starring Mickey again.
97	** A ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' short had Mickey and Minnie as Literature/HanselAndGretel.
98	* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' had "[[Recap/DuckTalesS1E11Scroogerello Scroogerello]]", a SickEpisode which parodied ''Cinderella'' - specifically, Scrooge is suffering from a fever, and falls asleep listening to Webby reading, which leads to a FracturedFairyTale Cinderella dream sequence.
99	* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'':
100	** "Fairly Odd Fairy Tales" is an anthology of three fairy tales with the show's cast inserted: [[Literature/{{Cinderella}} Cosmorella]], [[Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs The Three Little Fairies]], and [[Literature/SnowWhite Snow Wanda and the Seven Fairies]].
101	** "Goldie-Crocks and the Three Fair Bears" has Crocker and the Fair Bears to act in a play. Timmy's dad, who has blonde hair from using Timmy's mom's shampoo, comes across them, leading to various jokes about the fairytale.
102	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': "Leela and the Genestalk" is one big parody of "Jack and the Beanstalk". Fry has to sell the Planet Express ship to pay for an operation for Leela when she starts to mutate into a tentacled monster. The best he can get for it is two beans, which grow into a giant stalk leading to a floating genetics lab owned by Mom Corp., from which Fry and Bender must rescue Leela. Also a little Rapunzel thrown in the middle, when Leela throws down her tentacles so Fry can climb up a tower she's been locked away in.
103	* ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' has a lot of episodes that are retellings of fairy tales, sometimes crossing over into DerailedFairyTale. These episodes are more common in the ''U.S. Acres'' segments, but ''Garfield'' has done a few.
104	** "Rip Van Kitty": Rip Van Winkle

131	* ''WesternAnimation/TheGarfieldShow'' episode "Penny Henny" centers on Jon telling Drusilla and Minerva the tale of Penny Henny (a variant of ''Literature/ChickenLittle''). At the girls' request, Garfield is added to the story, and he ends up saving Penny Henny and her friends from the fox. The episode was adapted from a ''Garfield'' book that served as this trope to the franchise as a whole.
132	* Many ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' shorts have the cast reenact fairy tales [[FracturedFairyTale in their own unique way]]. To wit:
133	** "Beanstalk Bunny". ''Literature/JackAndTheBeanstalk'' with WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck as Jack, Elmer Fudd as the giant, and WesternAnimation/BugsBunny as... well, he's just along for the ride.
134	*** Sylvester and Tweety Pie also did a beanstalk cartoon, "Tweety and the Beanstalk".
135	** "WesternAnimation/LittleRedRidingRabbit". Bugs intrudes on ''Literature/LittleRedRidingHood'' and gives TheBigBadWolf the business. This was notably the first short to credit Creator/MelBlanc for "Voice Characterization."
136	** "Bugs Bunny and the Three Bears". The bears were later spun off into their own series.
137	** "Goldimouse and the Three Cats". Sylvester takes the place of the Papa Bear in ''Literature/GoldilocksAndTheThreeBears''.
138	** "WesternAnimation/AliBabaBunny". A WrongTurnAtAlbuquerque lands Bugs and Daffy in the cave from ''Literature/AliBabaAndTheFortyThieves''.
139	** "The Wind-Blown Hare" had the Three Little Pigs selling their straw and stick houses to Bugs. When Bugs finds out he's been played, of course, you know, ThisMeansWar! The pigs also were front in center of ''Pigs In a Polka'' and ''The Three Little Bops.''
140	** "The Pied Piper of Guadalupe" has Sylvester as the Pied Piper, only to be outsmarted by, of course, WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales, "the fastest mouse in all Mexico."
141	* Creator/HannaBarbera's obscurity ''WesternAnimation/LoopyDeLoop'' had an episode with the Three Little Pigs. In spite of his best intentions, it doesn't end well with Loopy because he's a wolf.
142	* ''WesternAnimation/MagicAdventuresOfMumfie'': "Scarecrowella" has Scarecrow falling asleep while reading the story of ''Cinderella'' to Mumfie, and imagining himself in the story.
143	* ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicKey'': In “Master Hansel And Miss Gretel”, Anneena and Kipper are transported into the world of “Hansel And Gretel”, and have to GenreSavvy their way to a happy ending.
144	* A ''[[WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines Magnificent Muttley]]'' installment has Muttley dream he's Jack and Dick Dastardly the Giant in a Jack and the Beanstalk take.
145	* ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'': "Three Little Piglets" has Pooh try to narrate the story of "The Three Little Pigs" with Piglet as the main characters, but the story keeps going OffTheRails by him absentmindedly inserting mentions of [[TrademarkFavoriteFood honey]] in inappropriate places and Tigger making drastic changes to the story (like turning the Big Bad Wolf into the Big Bad ''Bunny'' who happens to resemble Rabbit) just because. The narrated story also can somehow affect the real-world characters, with [[ButtMonkey Rabbit]] ending up on the receiving end of [[ItMakesSenseInContext a honey shower]].
146	* ''WesternAnimation/OscarsOrchestra'' episode "Sleeping Beauty" is one of these in-universe -Rebecca has a nightmare and to help her get back to sleep Oscar & co tell her a version of Sleeping Beauty with characters from the show placed in to roles in the story (for instance, Sylvia is the good fairy who weakens the curse and introduces an [[CurseEscapeClause escape clause]]). Certain aspects and story divergences ([[ButHeSoundsHandsome Monty's narration antics]], and the fact that the curse has to be broken not by kissing the ''princess'' but by kissing the ''evil witch who cast it'') also kinda push it into FracturedFairyTale territory.
147	* At least four of the Al Brodax ''WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}}'' cartoons have done fairy tales, doing Jack & the Beanstalk ("Popeye and the Spinach Stalk"), Snow White ("Olive Drab and the Seven Swee'Peas") and so on.
148	* ''WesternAnimation/PunkyBrewster'': "Punky, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, thanks to Glomer bringing the characters out of the book, including the Wicked Queen. Snow White ''and'' Henry both succumb to a tainted apple pie from the Queen, who is later returned to the book. Brandon (Punky's dog) licks Snow White back awake, but it doesn't work on Henry. Punky's kiss eventually wakes Henry.
149	* ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'': The episode "the Yarnbenders" has Rocko and Heffer healing Filbert (who is sick) with a mash up of stories about Hansel and Debbie.
150	* The whole point of the ''Fractured Fairy Tales'' segment of ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle.'' A more notable installment using "Sleeping Beauty" had a caricature of Walt Disney using the title beauty as a theme park attraction.
151	* ''WesternAnimation/SabrinaTheAnimatedSeries'' has her accidentally switching Harvey with Cinderella, so Cindy is in the real world and Harvey is stuck in the fairy tale world. Sabrina then ventures into the storybook world so she can meet a fairy godmother capable of reversing the magic. While there she meets several fairy tale beings.
152	* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' has "Aku's Fairy Tales" that features the ultimate evil trying, and failing, to manipulate children with revised fairy tales that glamorize himself while slandering the samurai. One of his tales involves a little girl with a red cape and [[MemeticMutation GREAT FLAMING EYEBROWS]].
153	* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
154	** A HalloweenEpisode reimagined the family in a fairy-tale world. It was primarily based on "Hansel and Gretel," but had references to others (for example, Homer passes Rapunzel's tower, etc.)
155	** "Simpsons Tall Tales" includes retellings of Paul Bunyan and Johnny Appleseed.
156	** "Four Great Women and a Manicure" includes a variant of Snow White, which gets mixed in with Goldilocks.
157	* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' has two of these episodes that even share the same FramingDevice: Patnocchio and Big Bad Bubble Bass. in both, Karen dresses up as a fairy and uses the show's cast to tell the stories of Pinocchio and The Three Pigs respectively; [[FracturedFairyTale with their usual antics messing things up, of course.]]
158	* While not a full fairy tale reference, the subplot of the ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'' episode "See Saw to Arkansas" had the Ant Hill Mob hiding out from the police in the Seven Dwarves' cottage. When they hear a car pull up (turns out to be Penelope Pitstop), they dress up in the Dwarves' clothes and impersonate them.
159	* WesternAnimation/YogiBear and Boo Boo come across the Three Little Pigs, who pawn off their homes to them, knowing full well the Big Bad Wolf will come and blow the houses down. Instead of holing up in the third pig's brick house, the pigs move into Yogi and Boo Boo's cave (saving on all the bureaucracy of building a new structure), leaving the two bears no recourse but to room with them. Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty also had the Yogi Bear treatment.
