A branch off the [[Something Completely Different]] tree, in which in the characters are cast into a "storybook land" in which there are [[Heroic Fantasy|chivalrous knights]], [[Distressed Damsel in Distress|beautiful maidens]] and, of course, dragons.
 
Such archetypes will be applied [[And You Were There|to each of the lead characters, their current situations and relationships]] in order to draw on [[Fairy Tale Motifs|familiar archetypes]], but also to suggest a Happily Ever After Ending.
Line 43:
* ''[[The Backyardigans]]'': "Knights are Brave and Strong", "A Giant Problem", "Tale of the Mighty Knights" and "Escape from Fairy Tale Village".
* ''[[Tom Goes to the Mayor]]'': "Rat's Off to Ya!" (incidentally doubles as the [[Christmas Episode]])
* There's a fantasy Fairy Tale-ish land in the Ghost Zone of ''[[Danny Phantom]]'', complete with knights (what Danny is anyways), princesses, and dragons--notdragons—not to mention a [[Damsel in Distress]] plot (though subverted). The only problem is that it isn't happy, thanks to a [[Fisher King|certain]] [[Evil Prince]].
* ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'': Dexter tries to read his sick sister a story, but she quickly got bored when he's just reading a science textbook. Deedee takes it and reads it for herself, changing the story to ''Deedee Locks and the Ness Monster'', making all sorts of plot holes from various other fairy tales (such as the three pigs made entirely of straw, sticks, and bricks, and a Napoleon-esque wolf that is small in stature but big in ego)
* ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]'': "Yarn Benders"
