a tv animated series. don't think it was running for long. each episode depicted a different classic fairytale but with a different idea/fresh take on characters etc. I remember the story of cindarella being set in space/futuristic (i.e., I think the characters - cindarella,the prince,stepfamily were robots/androids/cyborgs and in the final scene the prince and cindarella -possibly with robot names- rode off into the distance on his hoverscooter??).
another episode featured the story of bluebeard. I think in this version Bluebeard married the youngest curious sister of some family.
Each episode didn't run for very long - 5 or 10 minutes. The style was more like a story told by an unseen narrator narrating the story with the aid of visuals- more drawn/painted/"artworky" animation rather than typical animation. and due to the retelling of the story with the fresh look - the Narrator ended each episode with a moral with a new twist.
The description is vague but it's bugging me. any suggestions are appreciated.
