Fractured Fairy Tales

Shrek 3 premiered this week.
Soldier boy has seen it, but as he keeps hours like Count Dracula between semesters and military duty, we can't get his review yet.
The Queen and I will see it next week.

Our generation had to endure a lot of negatives culturally, but our music and our cartoons
are far superior to the drek of today.

My absolute favorite cartoon series during my Junior High years was The Bullwinkle Show.
The key element each week was Jay Ward's wonderful "Fractured FairyTales" segment.
A wonderful ensemble cast of voice talent did twisted, and somewhat anarchist takes on the traditional fairy tales that our parents read to us.

For a couple of really good links, check out www.brownielocks.com/fracturedfairytales.html
There are twelve classic bits available for free downloads, as well as links to other like sites.
Also, www.toonpedia.com/fracture.htm which also has a link to the Jay Ward site.

Who needs weird Japanese Anime' when one has Goldilocks with a Brooklyn accent?
