[http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/brementown/index.html "The Bremen Town Musicians"] is a German folk story about a group of animals who decide to run away and form a musical troup. Unfortunately, although they don't realize it, their singing is beyond awful, and their first "concert" scares away its audience: a group of robbers stationed in a cottage. The animals settle into the cottage, and when the robbers return by night, again repel them, mostly because of the robbers' own superstitious fears. The animals decide to remain at the cottage, and live happily ever after.

The story is short and lighthearted, more a folktale than a [[Fairy Tale]]. It was collected by [[The Brothers Grimm (Creator)|The Brothers Grimm]] and included in their ''Children's and Household Tales''. Although it has not achieved the prominence of some of their other stories, it remains a fairly popular and easily adaptable story for children. Adaptations include the Soviet animated musical ''[[Town Musicians of Bremen (Animation)|Town Musicians of Bremen]]'', [[Jim Henson]]'s ''The Muppet Musicians of Bremen'', and the German animated movie ''[[The Fearless Four (Animation)|The Fearless Four]]''.

[[Cartoon Network (Creator)|Cartoon Network]] has also produced a number of shorts called "Wedgies"; one of these is ''[[The Bremen Avenue Experience (Animation)|The Bremen Avenue Experience]]'', a [[Garage Band]] which includes [[Funny Animal]] versions of the same animals from the original folktale: a rooster, a cat, a dog, and a donkey.

There is also a manga called ''[[Bremen]]'', which is about a rock group in Japan who name themselves from this story. A small allusion to the animal motifs exist in the manga.
