Genre Watch- THR

I was reading The Hollywood Reporter website this morning and this: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/blogs/live-feed/ginnifer-goodwin-star-abcs-once-163869 caught my attention. I realized that the "fairy tale" genre is making a come-back on both the big-screen and on television. This is the second show that I have seen ordered to pilot about fairy tales, the other, Grimm, is a sort of detective show taking place in the world of fairy tales (it's written by some former Buffy people, so I'm really excited about it). In addition, Beastly and Little Red Riding Hood are both arriving to theaters soon, the first is a take on "Beauty and the Beast." From what I can tell, these are all interpretations or subversions of the fairy tale genre, but still undeniably fairy tales.
