There is, of course, the Grimm Brothers. Not the one living in Portland. Is this confusing enough yet?
Here is an online library link:

Snow doesn't look that tough. |

The Brothers wrote rather eloquently. |
Here is an online version translated from the German.
The Story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

There are also stories from France, like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Little Red Riding Hood, by Charles Perrault in his 'Mother Goose Tales.'

And there's always Faerie Tale Theatre from the 1980s that were relatively faithful to the stories and legends. They're on hulu, or you can buy them. They are very entertaining for kids younger than about 15.

I found the collection for about twenty bucks--but don't remember where.
Man, not more magic in Maine! |

I like how they handled Cinderell |
Monroe the blutbad. |
The premise reminds me of Warehouse 13 on SyFy that spotlights urban legends, and folktales, too.That series is not so grim (pardon the pun.)
Claudia's getting a little steampunkish. |

Hey, Tink! |
There are two, count them, two movies out currently about Snow White. I don't know why, maybe no one does. Here are the trailers.
I'm kind of fatigued with the cool, hip (tired) language inhabiting lots of kids' movies. Like this Julia Snow White one. I really did like Julia when she played Tinkerbelle (Hook)
Mirror, mirror, who the evilest queen of all? Man, Charlize got some crazy eyes I will call this the Julia Roberts one. 'Mirror Mirror' Trailer 2012 Julia Roberts Movie - Lily Collins as Snow White - Official [HD]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35EGNolcxEg |
This is the Kristin one. Somehow I don't think she's singing, "Someday My Prince Will Come." Maybe to polish her armor.

I'm going to see the Kristin one today, I like the Shakespeare sound of their language in the trailer. I hope CG effects doesn't interfere with the story.
