Title: No redeeming features.
Product review: I am normally a huge Roald Dahl fan, and made the mistake of popping this one on for my kids without listening to it first. It is crass and gory with no redeeming cleverness or insight. It uses the word "[...]" once and "hell" twice. Cinderella's prince lops off the heads of the ungly stepsisters and we get a nice description of them bouncing and rolling around on the floor. In Jack and the Beanstalk, Jack's mother is crunched up and eaten by the giant. The moral of Snow White is "gambling isn't a sin, providing that you always win". Red Riding Hood packs a pistol, shooting the Big Bad Wolf. She also shoots the wolf lurking around the third Little Pig's house, and goes on to kill the pig as well. If you want clever fairtale re-writes, stick with "Ever After" or "Ella Enchanted"!
