YMMV / Revolting Rhymes

• Accidentally-Correct Writing: There's a joke that Snow White was blonde despite what illustrations would have you believe. It turns out that the Grimm Brothers originally wrote Snow White as having "yellow hair," with black "eyes," in their manuscript.
• Iron Woobie: 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. His actual purpose is much, much more villainous. However, he does not devour Miss Hunt - only stealing her clothes - and he ultimately abandons his plan for vengeance against Red's innocent kids. He settles for leaving a calling card - and a warning - for their mother.
• Les Yay: The BBC adaptation is loaded with this between Red Riding Hood and Snow White.
• Magnificent Bastard: The Wolf was a creature who lived in his woods with his two foolish nephews, Rolf and Rex. When the two of them failed to heed the Wolf's warnings and left the woods looking for food, they were both ultimately shot dead by Red Riding Hood. The Wolf, being far more intelligent, saw the danger and backed off when he came in contact with Red, and instead waited years for his opportunity for revenge. Waiting outside of a cafe for Red's babysitter to arrive, he sits down with the sitter and tells her his story, which enthralls her and causes her to let her guard down long enough for him to tie her up and steal her clothes. Posing as the babysitter, he then gains access to Red's home and makes a stew with the intention of eating both of Red's children. Telling another story to the children while they wait, he wins them over with his personality as well and eventually decides to spare them. When Red arrives home, he bids her farewell, leaving the normally unflappable woman utterly speechless and terrified before returning to his woods.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: The BBC adaptation is an All-CGI Cartoon made to look like Stop Motion.
