Featured review
Eat your heart out, Aesop!
While fairy tales and fables are some of the easiest things to use in cartoons, you've never seen it like this before. In "Sleeping Beauty", Prince Charming could easily be Bugs Bunny. A fourth-wall-breaking Tom Thumb becomes a health adviser. The lazy grasshopper and the goose who laid the golden egg both have gotten involved in the war effort (it seems that the Termite Terrace crowd never missed a chance to promote the war effort). But the star turns out to be the boy who cried wolf; I guess that it was a little predictable what ends up happening, but everything leading up to it easily makes the cartoon worth watching. I can definitely see "Foney Fables" as a possible precursor to the "Fractured Fairy Tales" segments on "Rocky & Bullwinkle". Pretty funny, although I do wonder what Cinderella was up to.
