Not For Everyone, But Oddly Charming

TheVintageArchive

There's something oddly charming about JJ Villard's Fairy Tales.

There's the obvious gross body horror for humor that can be crude and tasteless, but at the same time, oddly charming. From the animation, to the music, to the voice acting, this is a twisted dark comedic spin on the classic Grimm's fairy tales, which themselves, weren't too cheery either.

This show isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, but for me, there was just enough charm, love and creativity to keep me watching. Boypunzel, especially is a fantastic episode. If you can get over a certain scene, you do find yourself somehow becoming invested in Boypunzel's innocence and happiness. Also quite enjoyed the Goldilocks episode.

It's not all grim shock value, there is definitely winning charm and heart to these episodes.

score 10/10
