An animated series that originally aired on HBO and ran for three seasons. The episodes take different Fairy Tales and set them in a variety of cultures from all around the world (and occasionally with female leads instead of the original male characters). The most common practice was casting the European fairy tales with African-Americans, and placing the fairy tales in China or the surrounding Asian countries. Each episode is narrated by Robert Guillaume, with a recurring cast of guest stars including Sinbad, Rosie Perez, and B.D. Wong. And yes, every story ends with the characters living Happily Ever After. Not to be confused with the Filmation movie Happily Ever After.
