History WesternAnimation / HappilyEverAfterFairyTalesForEveryChild

** Eartha Kitt as TheSnowQueen

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: More than once a few of the show's morals have been updated for modern audiences. One example includes "Puss in Boots", where Puss' master is uncomfortable with lying to gain favor with the king and his daughter, even though he loves her. After Puss kills the ogre and welcomes them all to the "Prince's Palace", [[spoiler: his master reveals that he told them the truth while he was away, but they still admire him for the person he is. Puss, on the other hand, is upset for turning his harrowing journey into a ShaggyDogStory, but all is forgiven after his master and the Princess marry]].

** Will Smith as Pinocchio and ChrisRock as his Jiminy Cricket Expy

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse?: In TheLittleMermaid, we see Mija the mermaid trade her voice to the Sea Witch for legs, then the Sea Witch takes the voice for her own, laughs menacingly...and we never see her again. There was no hint of whether she planned to use the voice for her own misdeeds, but that one scene certainly implied it [[spoiler: and since Mija wins the Prince's love and her voice back anyway, we'll never know.]]

** David Hyde-Pierce as PussInBoots

** Will Smith as Pinocchio and ChrisRock as his JiminyCricket Expy

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse?: In TheLittleMermaid, we see Mija the mermaid trade her voice to the Sea Witch for legs, then the Sea Witch takes the voice for her own, laughs menacingly...and we never see her again. There was no hint of whether she planned to use the voice for her own misdeeds (/like another animated adaptation Disney/TheLittleMermaid), but that one scene certainly implied it [[spoiler: and since Mija wins the Prince's love and her voice back anyway, we'll never know.]]

* AdiposeRex: The Emperor in "The Emperor's new clothes"
* AdultFear: Seeing as this is a fairy tale based show this is a given really. Just the whole idea of having childern in danger of being kidnapped or worse runs through out several episodes of the show.

* BreakTheHaughty: Happens to many times to count.

* HeyItsThatVoice: In addition to the All Star Cast, you may be able to recognize Raven Simone as both the princess and her peasant look-alike.
** She also plays as Goldilocks.

* SettingUpdate

* GenderFlip: "Literature/ThreeLittlePigs", "Literature/ThePrinceAndThePauper", "Literature/RobinHood", "Literature/TheNightingale", "Literature/TheSteadfastTinSoldier", and "Literature/TheBremenTownMusicians" get this treatment, not to mention a few of the characters from AesopsFables in the last episode.

!!Tropes:

** "Rip Van Winkle" features a female co-narrator near the end.

* {{Disneyfication}}

* {{Earworm}}: Every episode has a song or two, and they will get stuck in your head.

* {{Anvilicious}}: A number of the stories, especially in the last season, have heavyhanded morals tacked on.

* {{Tearjerker}}: The ending of "The Happy Prince".

* AdultFear: Seeing as this is a fairy tale based show this is a given really. Just the whole idea of having childern in danager of being kidnapped or worse runs through out several episodes of the show.

* InkSuitActor: Not as common as you'd think, but why else would the Rooster from TheBremenTownMusicians (voiced by Music/GeorgeClinton) have his comb tied up like that?◦ Also very prevalent in the "Henny Penny" episode.

An animated series that originally aired on {{HBO}} and ran for three seasons. The episodes take different Fairy Tales and set them in a variety of cultures from all around the world (and occasionally with female leads instead of the original male characters). The most common practice was casting the European fairy tales with African-Americans, and placing the fairy tales in China or the surrounding Asian countries. Each episode is narrated by Robert Guillaume, with a recurring cast of guest stars including Sinbad, Rosie Perez, and B.D. Wong. And yes, every story ends with the characters living HappilyEverAfter.
Not to be confused with the {{Filmation}} movie ''Film/HappilyEverAfter''.
