reinvention keeps old things interesting
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down the top 10 fairytale
and fantasy movie adaptations with a
twist by number 10 hoodwinked kicking
off our list is The Little Red Riding
Hood tale reimagined as a police
investigation mystery weird combo huh
what do we got Breaking and Entering
loaded and axe without a license and
tempt to eat I get the picture this
family-friendly cartoon is told through
a series of flashbacks that illustrate
different characters memories and
eventually everything is explained as
one hilarious misunderstanding the dark
classic may be defang to be more
kid-friendly but it still teaches a
valuable lesson don’t talk to strangers
number nine Snow White and the Huntsman
we would never call this one of the
better snow white adaptations nor would
we say that Charlize Theron ranked
second to Kristen Stewart in the looks
department
however this film does change up a
timeless classic how well it turns the
fair maiden into an armor clad Joan of
Arc type warrior who is on a mission to
take down the witch that’s pretty badass
you are never to know it is to grow
number eight Black Swan based on the
Swan Lake ballet this film retells the
story of a princess who’s turned into a
swan by an evil sorceress curse while
none of these elements show up in a
literal form the 2010 edition modernizes
the narrative and its subject matter by
replacing the curse with a mental
breakdown that results from her
punishing training regimen and insidious
instructor baby they can ask a question
honestly would you that girl no no one
would number seven the company of wolves
Little Red Riding Hood is already bleak
but this adaptation is even grimmer due
to its focus on the dark side of men the
tale is told to a young girl by her
grandmother who warns of deceitful and
dangerous werewolves that take on
pleasing forms adding magical
psychological and sexual touches this
variation on the story cautions against
temptation and mirrors lessons we
already know
number six splash this is what happens
when Hollywood shakes things up you get
the Little Mermaid in New York City
splash turns a classic Hans Christian
Andersen’s fairy tale into a cheesy 80s
rom-com as you’d expect this retelling
focuses on the mermaid search for love
but it’s literal fish-out-of-water
premise brings the last as we follow the
star on her trek through this strange
new world on dry land
hey how about those Knicks number 5
freeway did you ever imagine Little Red
Riding Hood as a twisted tale about a
juvenile delinquent who flees her
abusive parents to live with her
grandmother and is then abducted by a
sadistic serial killer pedophile who’s
posing as a therapist yeah us either and
it’s probably the last movie where you’d
expect to see Reese Witherspoon and keep
her Sutherland together did they really
have to bring necrophilia into it poor
grandma number 4 AI artificial
intelligence it’s the future and David
is a replacement robot programmed to
love made obsolete by the return of his
family the real child
David grabs his teddy bear conscience
and goes in search of the Blue Fairy to
help make him a real boy sound familiar
it’s a loose adaptation of Pinocchio
and just like its source material this
is a dark and depressing tale complete
with some serious moral questions hello
Teddy
hello David David teddy is a super toy
and I know you’ll take good care of each
other I am NOT a toy number three
Shrek this animated comedy classic dares
to swap prince charming with a nasty
ogre while also combining the fairy
tales from our youth with pop-culture
references bachelorette number one is a
mentally abusive in from a kingdom far
far away she likes sushi and hot tubbing
anytime her hobbies include cooking and
cleaning for two evil sisters shrek has
everything from the gingerbread man to
Peter Pan and the three little pigs a
fairy tale for a new generation this
flick is memorable for more than just
its
comedy because it challenges accepted
expectations and stereotypes plus
there’s a talking donkey
you know what everybody like posse have
you ever met a person you say let’s get
some pot baby they say here I’m no I
don’t like no puffy face is delicious
no number two oh brother where art thou
it’s Homer’s Odyssey the musical this
contemporary satire is a light-hearted
take on the timeless story it stars
George Clooney as a prison escapee named
Ulysses who embarks on a bizarre journey
in order to return home and reclaim his
family who elected you leader of this
outfit well Peter I figured it should be
the one with the capacity for abstract
thought but if that ain’t the consensus
view then hell let’s put it to a vote
along the way he encounters everything
from sirens to a menacing Cyclops sounds
like a recipe for disaster but somehow
this translation is brilliant number one
the matrix taking the top spot on our
list is the iconic action movie where
the hero decides to see just how deep
the rabbit-hole goes
have you ever had a dream neo that you
were so sure was real what if you were
able to wake from that dream how would
you know the difference between the
dream world and the real substituting
Alice’s dream for a computer world the
matrix subtly incorporates other
elements from Wonderland ranging from
checkerboard floors to the white rabbit
to feline appearances that call
everything into question and like Lewis
Carroll’s original story it forces the
protagonist on an uncomfortable quest of
self-discovery
