Once upon a time ... the latest trend in Hollywood. The Grimm fairy tales have already enchanted us as little children. A look to Hollywood shows that the filmmakers have recognized the entertainment potential of Grimm & Co. again. Currently, one classic fairy tale after another is being rewritten as a cool and gloomy remake. At the top of the fairytale revival are "Beauty and the Beast", "Snow White" ("Snow White", "Mirror, Mirror") and "Sleeping Beauty" ("Cinderella", "Maleficent").

More details about Hollywood's fairytale trend can be found in the gallery (17 pictures)!

Anyone who does not fancy tales in the "Twilight" version, ie triangular relationships with fairytale characters, can fall back on the horror version. On offer are, among others, "Hänsel & Gretel: Witch Hunter" (Part Two is already in the works) or "Maleficent", in which Angelina Jolie 2014 will play the evil queen of Sleeping Beauty with devilish horns.

Whether cinema or TV - the fairytale trend is everywhere

Fancy a weekly dose of fairy tales? Then we recommend the TV series "Grimm" (on Vox) and "Once Upon A Time" (on the cable channel Passion). So that you are not eaten by the bad wolf in the wild fairytale forest, we reveal once again what the original fairy tales really are about - and how Hollywood implements them.
