comment |
Morphic Resonance: Fenchelchen and the witch retain aspects of their appearance when they shapeshift: Fenchelchen stays red/white/blue like her clothes, and the witch keeps her hat, earring, and purple color scheme. |

Evil Makes You Ugly |
| | Britannica's Tales Around the World / int_4ee487f2 |
comment |
Evil Makes You Ugly: The evil fairy starts out decently normal-looking, but 125 years later she's become emaciated and hunched-over, with a shriller voice and Exhausted Eyebags. Also, her once large and impressive butterfly-esque wings have dwindled down to tiny skeletal ones. |

comment |
Let's Get Dangerous!: Of all things, a cow does this in "The Woodcutter's Wealthy Sister", proving she's not to be messed with when she successfully fends off a man-eating monster by herself to protect her human family. She puts up such a good fight, in fact, that the monster doesn't even try getting past her the next night and instead asks the woodcutter to kill her before then. |

comment |
Cowardly Lion: The steward in "Sleeping Beauty" is obviously terrified of the evil fairy (disguised as the dowager queen), but he's still brave enough to defy her multiple times and save the lives of Sleeping Beauty and her children. He uses the potions she gave him to transform animals instead of the royal family, then sneaks away to get the king for help when the evil fairy tries to kill them. |

The Mockbuster |
| | Britannica's Tales Around the World / int_b151c937 |
comment |
The Mockbuster: Averted for the series. None of the episodes were made to cash in on the Disney films. This series’ "Beauty And The Beast" and "Rapunzel" came before Disney ever released their own takes. Played straight with the Brightspark DVD release of "Hansel and Gretel" and "Rapunzel", which were bundled together and given the title "Tangled Up", cashing in on Tangled. To say that Disney was not amused would be an understatement, as they filed a lawsuit towards Brightspark for deceiving customers into thinking that "Tangled Up" was Tangled. |

Too Dumb to Live: The woodcutter knows full well he doesn't have a sister, but against his wife's reservations goes to live on the mysterious woman's property anyway to take advantage of her wealth. He later refuses to even look out the window when his hysterical wife says a monster's outside fighting the cow, and ignores his wife's warning yet again the following day and night. |

comment |
Forced Transformation: In order to save her love interest from the witch, Fenchelchen turns him into first a cookie, then a bonnet, then a wooden log. When they later escape and get married, the narrator points out Fenchelchen's husband never argued with her, because it's not wise to argue with someone who can turn you into a cookie on demand. The Beast gets turned into a monster by an evil fairy. |

Dull Surprise |
| | Britannica's Tales Around the World / int_c1b2c63f |
comment |
Dull Surprise: Happens every now and then, both in the animation and voice acting. A notable example is when Sleeping Beauty, trying to hide from her "mother-in-law" trying to kill her, gets discovered and lets out a mild "Oh my." |

Nightmare Face |
| | Britannica's Tales Around the World / int_cf48c17 |
comment |
Nightmare Face: When the king in "Rumpelstiltskin" sees the miller's daughter can apparently spin straw into gold, he ponders how rich he can get by using such an ability and his face contorts into an absolutely terrifying smile. There's also the moment when the woodcutter's wealthy sister looks right at the camera and takes off her face, showing the cat-like monster beneath. |

Cassandra Truth: "The Woodcutter's Wealthy Sister" is about a woodcutter not believing his wife's warning that a man-eating monster - in truth, the mysterious "sister" that appeared out of nowhere and invited them to her home - is going to eat them. |

Hoist by His Own Petard: The witch in "Hansel and Gretel" ends up getting burned alive in the very oven she tried to cook Gretel in. Fenchelchen uses her witch teacher's own magic balls of yarn to kill her. The evil fairy is killed by the potion (and cauldron) she was going to use to kill Sleeping Beauty. |

Merlin and Nimue: Non-romantic version in "Fenchelchen", with the witch teaching the two-generations-younger heroine how to do magic. When the witch later attempts to kill the man that Fenchelchen's fallen in love with, Fenchelchen uses what she's learned to escape and kill the witch. |

comment |
Mind over Matter: The evil fairy has a kind of telekinesis, shooting magic out of her hands to freeze Sleeping Beauty and her children and later move them and a cauldron around the room. She later uses this power against the king, though he blocks it with his sword. Against a single beam he can still walk forward, forcing her to use beams from both hands to stop him... which frees up Sleeping Beauty. |
