WHAT PART OF WATER DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND MAN

[NessLover]

I did feel sorry for the first two faries.

[shadowlover]

I appreciate that the rabbit "Cause you don't understand what give them water mean, I will do it myself, just cut the branch"

[nekoshey]

Should rename it "The Tale of the Prince Who Can't Follow Basic Instructions"

[JulesThePsion]

"But still she went and died" Wow. The audacity of that fairy, drinking all his wine and then having the nerve to die! Some people...

[_______________]

“I dare not go into your palace wearing fairy-clothes!” "Don't worry, the other two times I brought home dead bodies, everyone will be happy you're alive."

Prince: "Are there ANY animals in this forest who can't talk?"

The tattoo-like designs on the fairy's body are a discreet and graceful way of composing a non-gross nudity.

I like how the Rabbit looks concerned anytime he looks at the Prince.

The witch daugther: The sun did it to me
The sun: wtf?

There is also an Italian version of this one, where the three fairies came out from a cutted orange 😂 I still remember when my grandma used to tell me while sitting on her knee on an armchair...I miss her so much..

That story where some guy killed two unsuspecting dryads

[HeavymetalHylian]

You would think that after the first time an animal asked him to spare its life, he would have been amazed and would never point a gun at another animal again lol

[KL-kidb]

For those of you wondering about the dark colored witch and etc, the historical context and accuracy of the story is that during the past, the Romani people were seen as evil and thus are portrayed as such and in general in Europe that black was seen as the color of evil just how some African nations see white as signs of ghosts and evil. Doesn’t mean it is right and fair, but historical context means a lot. I would say that the animation is accurate on how people viewed the world back in the day as shown with the obsession of blondes and etc so it is probably better to criticize the stereotypes and beliefs of back then than to assume the animators are racist when they most likely did such to show the reality of what people really did believe back then.

[koidemasi]

what is up with the wicked characters having dark skin???

[miaomiaou_]

Lol the prince doesn’t deserve the fairy! He didn’t even recognize her from the witch’s daughter 🥴 And what about the first two fairies he killed with his negligence?? 😭

[SerenityM]

“By the way, have you seen my two sisters, they were also cursed by the tree?” lol

[Squishii_Cloud]

Fox: she needs water.

Man: wine is just red water.

The tree designs are beautiful, and I like the opening of this series.
