Have you noticed a media movement toward producing more entertainment based on faerie tales? It amazes me that so many adult-oriented media events, both television and movies, are centering around those lovable stories we grew up with. These movies and shows seem to be directed toward people of a “certain age” like me because, frankly, I don’t believe the many young parents of today are actually even reading faerie tales to their children … if they are reading to them at all, that is!
