. . . The Bullwinkle Show includes the THIRD "Fractured Fairy Tale" featuring Rumpelstiltskin. After debuting in his namesake segment, Rum returned in--naturally enough--RUMPELSTILTSKIN RETURNS.

Obviously, any right-thinking person will view this development as being more tragic than humorous. Why would any entertainment outfit bend over backwards to filch the joy from beloved kids' stories?
