Does anyone else remember "Fractured Fairy Tales"?



You have to be of a certain age.  YouTube has dozens of them.   (They also have Peabody and Sherman.)

With a tip of the blogging hat to Neatorama.

    I LOVED everything on the Rocky & Bullwinkle show ~ but especially "Fractured Fairy Tales"! I used to watch them with my Dad all the time! Hubby and I now have them on DVD ~ always a fun diversion from "real" news. And I always wanted a "Way-back Machine" of my own!!

    I note that the spelling of the header for the video is also fractured...should be "Pinocchio"

    adult themes presented to kids - that's what made those so great.

    I've come to join the discussion, and I've brought a "basket of 'goodies.'" :)

    P.S.: And after this discussion, I'm off to my meeting of Ridinghoods Anonymous.

      The "basket of goodies" joke even predates Fractured Fairy Tales:

    I am the person I am today due to the influence that the Rocky and Bullwinkle show had on me.
