History WesternAnimation / RevoltingRhymes

* LosingYourHead: Both [[spoiler: ugly sisters]] end up chasing after their recently removed craniums like headless chickens. Whilst this softens the blow of the their brutal decapitations, there's no indication it's any less fatal than in the original books.

** This is a bit of a GeniusBonus; Snow White ''was'' a blonde in the Grimm Brothers' original manuscript.

* AdaptationalVillainy: The third pig in Revolting Rhymes was just trying to avoid being eaten by a wolf. Here, Pig is a MorallyBankruptBanker whose house of bricks is his bank. He makes Red Riding Hood and other customers take the loss when the other pigs can't pay back their loans, on account of being eaten, even though he'd [[StealingFromTheTill embezzled]] a private fortune. [[spoiler: Which makes Red killing him a KickTheSonOfABitch rather than a KickTheDog moment.]]

* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: It is heavily implied that the Prince [[spoiler: actually killed Cinderella, and the Wolf spontaneously came up with the happy ending where she ends up with Jack to save face.]] If that was the case, why did Wolf begin the story by saying [[spoiler:Jack's story was important to Cinderella's, and combine them, in the first place]]?

* AdultFear: Wolf experiences this when his nephews are young and he sternly keeps them in the safety of the woods. Later when they leave it as adults, they are killed. [[spoiler: Wolf invokes this when Red discovers he has been with her children all night, and leaves her with the knowledge that the only reason they're alive is because he ''chose'' to spare them.]]

* AmbiguouslyGay: Red and Snow's relationship may very well be romantic. Though by the second short, they don't appear to be living together, and Red has two children, so it might just be a RomanticTwoGirlFriendship.

''Revolting Rhymes'' is a 2016 BBC animated short film (28 minutes) based on the Roald Dahl book of the same name released in 2016. Animated by Magic Light Pictures and narrated by Dominic West, it was released in two parts and retells five of the original book's six poems in a single interweaving story.

* AbusiveParents: Jack is physically and mentally abused by his mother on a regularly basis. When Jack returns home with a magic bean, instead of money for their old cow, Wolf states he was beaten non-stop for half an hour. Cindy also suffers at the hands of her family, reduced to being a slave. Snow White has a distant father more interested in partying that being in his daughter's life and her step-mother tries to murder her for being more pretty.

[[spoiler: Wolf invokes this when Red discovers he has been with her children all night, and leaves her with the knowledge they're alive because he chose to spare them.]]

* AntiVillain: Wolf. [[spoiler: Imagine you came upon a woman wearing your nephew as a coat and then boasting about it. Then learned this same person killed your ''other'' nephew at the request of a rich banker. A pig she then killed and robbed anyway. Lest we forget he stopped his young nephews trying to eat a young Red when she was a defenseless child. He spares Miss Hunt, stealing only her clothes, and ultimately cannot bring himself to actually take his vengeance upon Red's children. Though Wolf does let her know, ''he could have.'']]

* HeroicAlbino: Snow White looks like one, with the white skin, and light blonde hair that extends to her eyelashes.

** It's easy to miss as Goldilock only makes a ContinuityCameo, but a newspaper article reveals that she was tried, convicted and given a prison sentence for her crimes against the Bears, whereas in the poem she is eaten by them.
