Who's the Fairest? - A List of Fairytale Movies
With the fairytale back in vogue at the minute I thought a list with all the adaptations, faithful or revisionist, were in order. This is by no means a complete list so it would be good to get some help trying to find missing examples.
I am excluding films like Shrek, Enchanted etc. which are more an amalgamation of fairytales rather than following one story.
Where not obvious I have added a note to what fairytale it is based on.
You could add Freeway and Hard Candy (Little Red Riding Hood movies), the secret adventures of Tom Thumb, The Princess and the Frog and Splash.
Good suggestions. I meant to include Freeway in my initial list.
I wouldn't say Hard Candy is a fairy tale movie at all, but that's just me xD
And lol, why is The Little Mermaid in twice? Not that I mind. It was my favourite cartoon film as a kid.
"why is The Little Mermaid in twice? " - because I knew it was your favourite (that and I didn't realise I added it twice).
Neither are Working Girl and Freeway. The theme is movies based on fairytales, so that would include Hard Candy. She's not wearing that red hood incidentally, even on the poster.

Troubles with my intertron, sorry for the double post.
Hoodwinked kinda fits. Shrek's got a couple as well.
Hoodwinked counts but as I explained in my introduction, the films of Shrek do not. They have fairytale characters in the film but the stories are completely different.
