Fractured Fairy Tales?

Question

I have to do one, but I have no ideas. Do you have any ideas? They have to be humurous.

EXAMPLES: In Cinderella; the magic want is broken and can't get the spell quite right.
The prince can't dance.
Cinderella doesen't want a carriage, she wants a VW beetle.

Please and thank you!

Answer 1

The wizard of oz. After dorothy kills the witch and brings the broom back to Oz, she and her cohorts are immediately arrested. Dorothy is charged with a double homicide for her witch killing spree that day, and also grand larceny for the taking the broom and accepting stolen property for the slippers that the good witch of the north put on her feet. The strawman, tin man and lion are charged as accessories to murder but the lion gets a plea deal for turning on Dorothy and she also gets charged with assault & battery for the time she slapped the lion.

Answer 3

Why not take a classic fairy tale and set it in the present day and then cross it with another fairy tale so that you get a completely different ending?

Start with Goldilocks getting lost in Central Park and then ending up sleeping in a Brownstone that happens to be left open because the three bears have gone to see their cousin at the Zoo - only to wake up and find that the Big Bad Wolf who is trying to escape from Little Red Riding from the Hood....

You can probably think of an ending that is appropriate. Good luck.

Answer 4

Okay. Step one- pick a fairy tale.

Step two- ask "what if"? or ask yourself, "what one thing would make this fall apart"?

A common one is writing it from the perspective of the "bad guy", like the wolf in Red Riding Hood, or one of the stepsisters in Cinderella.

Another way is to actually make something happen wrong. The princess doesn't want to be rescued from the dragon, and turns the prince away. The prince accidently kisses Sleeping Beauty's maid. Rapunzel finds a bald spot. The Princess only finds the Pea by accident. The Prince doesn't end up liking the princess he's rescued. There are millions of combinations.

*EDIT*
How many trolls are thumbing down answers here? I dare you to show your faces. *drums fingers* I didn't think so.

If you, the questioner, are doing some of the thumbs down answers/aren't getting any good ideas from us, can you be a little more specific? The more you are, the more we can help you.

Answer 5

Your own example is pretty funny. Well, let's start with Little Red Riding Hood. She and granny could be at Burger King when the wolf comes. The three bears could be bare....ha-ha
Try to give a modern twist to those ancient tales. Say for example that Rapunzel wears a wig, and when the prince tries to climb up her hair, the wig falls off and he plunges to his death. Or the Sleeping Beauty takes so much Ambien that she never wakes up, even after the prince kisses her. Or say that Jack isn't able to climb the beanstalk because it was fed too much Miracle Gro, so he never catches the giant. Cinderella's feet are too big for the glass slipper, and she has to settle for Payless! You get the idea. Lots of luck! Sounds like a fun project/assignment. I never got to do fun stuff like that in school.

The Story of Rindercella

Once apon a time, in a coreign fountry, there lived a very geautiful birl; her name was Rindercella. Now, Rindercella lived with her mugly other and her two sad bisters. And in this same coreign fountry, there was a very prandsom hince.

And this prandsom hince was going to have a bancy fall. And he'd invited people from riles amound, especially the pich reople. Rindercella's mugly other and her two sad blisters went out to buy some drancy fesses to wear to this bancy fall, but Rindercella could not go because all she had to wear were some old rirty dags. Finally, the night of the bancy fall arrived and Rindercella couldn't go. So she just cat down and scried. She was a kitten there a scrien, when all at once there appeard before her, her gairy fodmother. And he touched her with his wagic mand ... and there appeared before her, a cig boach and hix white sorces to take her to the bancy fall. But now she said to Rindercella, "Rindercella, you must be home before nidmight, or I'll purn you into a tumpkin!"

When Rindercella arrived at the bancy fall, the prandsom hince met her at the door because he had been watchin' behind a woden hindow. And Rindercella and the prandsom hince nanced all dight until nidmight...and they lell in fove. And finally, the mid clock strucknight.

It was exactly the sight rize!

So they were married and lived heverly ever hapwards. Now, the storal of the mory is this: If you ever go to a bancy fall and want to have a pransom hince loll in fove with you, don't forget to slop your dripper!

Answer 7

I made one and Cinderella was a girl named Ella who wanted to go to a Halloween Masquerade Ball, but her stepdad told her she couldn't because she had to do homework. Then the Fairy God Mother comes, and is a sort-of-hippie who can't get her spells right. You can use your imagination to figure out what happens. Ella can be turned into something, she is sent into a parallel universe, or whatever.

Answer 8

I did one where the Fairy Godmother had a cold so she dropped her wand and went to look for cough medicine. Someone else picked up the wand and helped Cinderella out by giving her a Lamborghini and gay driver. Somehow the person conjured the click remote and...er...plays with it. You can imagine the chaos.

Answer 9

When I had to do one of those, I did a version of Little Red Riding Hood where the Wolf was actually the good guy and Little Red was an evil little con artist.

Answer 10
