Quantum uncertainty principle applied to Fairy Tales

These multi-verse versions of common fairy tales with diabolical subterfuge are really made for the adults that watched along with their children. The irreplaceable Narration by Edward Everett Horton completes the signature coat of varnish. At the Top of the list of all cartoon series ever seen by me. The music prepared you for what was about to unfold. Each story leaves you in a strange state of glad gratitude that the villainous got their due. The concept of this was genius. All the creative minds that were involved with this should be praised. The artwork and animation express the alternate nature of the stories. These are collectors quality.

This is not your great grand dad's version of . . .

. . . THE UGLY DUCKLING, nor is it Daffy Duck's. Lacking a foil such as Bugs Bunny, the would-be Tinsel Town star waterfowl in this Fractured Fairy Tale spin on the homely bird yarn comes off as a mean-spirited, ill-considered, clumsy and lackadaisical satire of an American economic sector that had been lampooning itself for 65 or 70 years by the time that this tired take was tossed on the towering landfill mound of self-referential movie business bits. Where the brothers Warner strove to brilliantly condense the 15 hours of Dick Wagner's so-called "Ring Cycle" into the unforgettable six minutes of WHAT'S OPERA, DOC?, this Ugly Duckling runs out of things to say in just five minutes.
