Not quite as monstrous as The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales (pantheon edition) where your favourite childhood classics involve bloody mutilation and blatent racism.
I'm liking how they manage to incorperate a disneyed sort of element of happy endings and true love into Once Upon a Time. The Brothers Grimm can get a little bit too grim for me sometimes and the alternate fairytale world in the tv series looks so colourful and interesting, somewhere you would actually like to escape to instead of a land populated by rapists, racists, misogynists and paedo wolves like in the original tales.
