As a child I loved the series of "Fractured Fairy Tales," animated shorts narrated by Edward Everett Horton, which appeared as part of The Bullwinkle and Rocky Show in the 1960s. Generally they were twists on known classic fairy tales, but I recently happened upon one that takes on George MacDonald's two children's books, The Princess and the Goblin (1872) and The Princess and Curdie (1883). It's delightful, and surprising in the particular aspects of MacDonald's books that it keeps! Enjoy.
