Line 4:
A common device for starting a story, especially fairy tales, is to begin with a book opening. The [[Opening Narration]] goes on as normal, but as it goes on the book opens and we fade to see the story itself being played out. Just as if it came from the book itself. Usually the story will finish with the book being closed.
The [[Trope Maker]] here is the [[Disney Animated Canon]], which has used it since the very beginning with ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs]]''.
A subtrope of [[Framing Device]]. A sister trope of the one where the book is shown [[I Should Write a Book About This|as it is being written]].
