I understand, I saw the movie before seeing the book, so I never had time to imagine a different world either.

Wikipedia is quite the good site; although you have to take everything with a grain of salt, there is so much information that one could spend days on it without getting bored :)

Hm perhaps it was a way to persuade a dad that you did not have actual sex before marriage, and you would go and invent a story on how it would be doable :)

Well do not lose hope; the way I see it, is that even if Disney is making stories end happily ever after, it may spark enough interest for a viewer to search the original work, something that he would not have done.

Yes, and the moment I remember is when he first find Fiona sleeping; he slowly walks, gets close to her, goes near her face and....shake the heck out of her :)

I've read all the books, and I loved them (maybe aside from one.) It's the kind of book that felt satisfying. As for the movie, it may not be the best movie out there, but I loved it for the fact that it does make one child-like.

It may only be me, but the 2nd one is probably the best of the two (albeit the first one is still good.) And as far as I've heard, a 4th one has also been accepted.

Nope, I'll join the "whaaa?" club too. Never read much about Lilith or any stories like that, nor the whole Adam story from above.

Heh, wow talk about breaking the charm of some regular cookies and milk :) That could probably earn you some prizes in those "kids say the darndest thing" competitions.

Fraud would be going a bit far; it's an entertaining movie, loved it, and that's as far as I go with it. I think this is more of an uneeded debate on semantics.

I remember seeing the live series of Sinbad when I was young; it was showing up on a kid channel...and the women didn't have that much clothes on....wonder how it got on that channel in the first place.

Quite right, there isn't much drawbacks to kids when on the subject of reading book. Imagination as well as a better vocabulary are bound to arise.

Granted that there are quite a lot of Jack tales, there is also the point that fairy tales tend to have elements that differ from one person to the other too :\

Hmm ok, yes seen that way I guess one could debate the semantics of "new" fairy tales :)

Hmm not sure about where 1990 comes into play, but Shrek first came to theater in 2001, Shrek 2 in 2004 and Shrek 3 is slated for 2007

exactly, you can't blame everything but you...just look at parents blaming violent videogames for their kids behavior, I played violent videogames, I've watched cartoons, and I'm nice as there is :)

I think we see fairy tales as extremely old stories that have been passed out through generations, maybe in a hundred years from now, today's story will obtain such status.

I'd have to agree that Jon Benet was looking much "bizarre" for her age; however, I wouldn't go and condemn girls if they played prince and princess.

It all depends on how you depict Fairy Tales. In all likelyhood, you could say that Shrek by itself is kind of a fairtale...kind of.

Hmm I did play a bit of it; but overall games like Civilization IV just seemed much more detailed with a very comfortable level of depth in it :)
