Season 2 • Episode 24
LatestGrimm's Fairy Tale Classics is a Japanese animated anthology series by Nippon Animation. The episodes are adaptations of a variety of folk and fairy tales, and not limited to Grimm's Fairy Tales.
Writing
Faithfully dark source material, no Disney sanitization.
Score
Haunting fairy tale themes that live rent-free.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Despite the title, only about half the episodes are actual Grimm tales — the rest pull from Andersen, Perrault, and worldwide folklore.
This series represents a fascinating moment when Japanese anime studios were aggressively exporting 'world literature' adaptations to Western markets in the 80s.
