Little Known Faery Tale Facts:
  • Before she made it into the Big Time, the Little Mermaid broke into the movie biz as Aquaman's girlfriend.
  • Sleeping Beauty actually suffered from insomnia and had to fake all the sleeping scenes
  • Cinderella was first billed as Francesca, the Glass Shoe Wearing She-Pirate, but the demographics didn't like it.
  • In the first drafts, Hansel and Gretel were able to escape from the Witch's cottage with the help of his AK-47 and a few judiciously placed K-Bar knives.
  • Humpty Dumpty's demise was caused by a huge oversight by the King's Men. Not one of the people on scene thought to dial 911.
  • The whole Red Riding Hood debacle could have been avoided if the State had given Red her concealed weapons permit as she asked.
