History YMMV / RevoltingRhymes

* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: It turns out that the Grimm Brothers originally wrote Snow White as having "yellow hair" in their manuscript.

* AcceptableTargets: Rich people and anyone from the upper classes. All are shown to be murderous sociopaths with a total disregard for anyone who isn't themselves.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The BBC adaptation is an AllCGICartoon made to look like StopMotion.

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: Most of the tales have this. In ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'' Snow White steals the Queen's magic mirror and so the dwarfs, who are all gamblers with debts, can use it to accurately predict which horses will win races the following day. Because they know exactly which horses will win every time the dwarfs and Snow White end up becoming millionaires through gambling.
-->''Which shows that gambling's not a sin''
-->''Provided that you always win.''
** Arguably, ''Cinderella'' has a relatively ordinary Aesop, where Cinderella decides to marry a good man who is a jam maker rather than marry someone just because he happens to be a wealthy prince.

* IronWoobie: Wolf fits into this more and more as the tales go on. You can hear the pain in his voice when he talks about his dead nephews, and he seemingly just wants to share some tea and sympathy with Miss Hunt. [[spoiler:His actual purpose is much, much more villainous, but ultimately, he abandons his plan for vengeance against Red's innocent kids, settling only for leaving a calling card - and a warning - for their mother.]]

* [[ThinkoftheChildren Think Of The Children]]: The reaction most MoralGuardians have to the ''Cinderella'' story, because the word "slut" appears in one of the lines. This is the same story that had a picture of Prince [[SarcasmMode "Charming"]] chopping off a woman's head.
** [[CriticalResearchFailure What's more, "slut" was originally a perjorative term for any woman who wasn't presentable]].
** The BBC adaptation side-steps this by having the Prince call her a mutt instead.
* TimeSkip: [[spoiler: When the Fairy Godmother saves Cindy from the Prince and transports her to Jack's jam shop some time has obviously passed as before their stories had been taking place simultaneously on a bright sunny day it's now snowing and Jack's had time to build a successful business.]] It [[FridgeHorror makes sense when]] you catch onto the strong implication that [[spoiler:Wolf made the ending up to appease the children, and Cinderella actually just died there.]]
