A very entertaining story crafted by combining all of Roald Dahl's "Revolting Rhymes" fairy tales (excluding only the odd-one-out Goldilocks retelling) and adding a single frame story around them. My sole complaint is that some of the better rhythms, rhymes and jokes are undermined by the demands of the narrative format, but that is understandable.

This was good, although first part was better than second. That's the problem w/ endings, no doubt. Red was kind of cool.

Two half-hour animated films based on the much-loved rhymes written by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake. (source: TMDb)
