History Anime / AndersenMonogatari

An Anime series from TheSeventies adapting the various fairy tales of Creator/HansChristianAndersen, hosted by two pixies, Candy and Sukko. It was produced by Creator/MushiProductions, who Western viewers might recognize for their work with [[Creator/RankinBassProductions Rankin/Bass]] (who, ironically, liked to adapt Andersen's material as well).

* SpiritualSuccessor:
** Arguably, ''Anime/GrimmsFairyTaleClassics'', though it was a bit more straightforward.
** Also, Rankin Bass' "Festival of Family Classics," since Mushi Productions worked on that series as well. The Thumbelina episode in particular looks like it could be an episode of it.
** Also, the German cartoon, ''WesternAnimation/SimsalaGrimm'', which also features two pixie-mascots getting involved with classic fairy tales.

** Two separate episodes reference the dress-ripping scene from ''Disney/{{Cinderella}}''.
** ''The Wild Swans'' [[Disney/SleepingBeauty ends with the witch turning herself into a monstrous dragon to fight the heroes.]]

* SeriesMascot: Candy and Sukko. Unlike the green-haired girl in Anime/GrimmsFairyTaleClassics, they actually get involved with the story, though they rarely talk to the other characters. Though considering half of the stories end with the children dying, they rarely effect the plot.

* ReusedCharacterDesign: For example, The Robber Girl (from the Snow Queen) and The Marsh King's Daughter look exactly alike.
* MoodWhiplash: It's Hans Christian Andersen for crying out loud. Some stories are goofy, others heartwarming, and others will break your heart. The animation crew actually enforced this by having different teams handle each story.
* ShownTheirWork: The show adapted many obscure Andersen fairy tales, though many stories endured AdaptationDecay.
