George Reade – “It’s hard when a good dog gets old. And when they get to the end of it…” He shook his head. “It tears your heart out.” Yes, George it does. And like Charlie, I would have absolutely gone down a creepy hole into the depths of the earth to a warped Grimm fairy tale version of Narnia if it would have given me a chance to save our dogs. Swann Jones, Steven (1995). The Fairy Tale: The Magic Mirror of the Imagination. New York: Twayne. ISBN 0-8057-0950-9. We love this magical area of Walt’s original theme park. There’s something so charming about it! Some of the oldest Disney attractions are right here, and there are also plenty of new things to see and do while you meander this fairy tale land.

If you are creating a whole world of different characters and settings, make sure they all have unique names!Marco Haurélio, contemporary writer and folklorist, author of Contos e Fábulas do Brasil and Contos Folclóricos Brasileiros. Matterhorn Bobsleds was the first roller-coaster-style attraction at Disneyland Park—and the very first tubular steel coaster in the world. The iconic attraction is also one-of-a-kind—no other Disney park can claim a Matterhorn mountain. Peter and the Piskies: Cornish Folk and Fairy Tales (United Kingdom, 1958), by Ruth Manning-Sanders

This consideration of whether to keep Sleeping Beauty reflected a belief common among folklorists of the 19th century: that the folk tradition preserved fairy tales in forms from pre-history except when "contaminated" by such literary forms, leading people to tell inauthentic tales. [56] The rural, illiterate, and uneducated peasants, if suitably isolated, were the folk and would tell pure folk tales. [57] Sometimes they regarded fairy tales as a form of fossil, the remnants of a once-perfect tale. [58] However, further research has concluded that fairy tales never had a fixed form, and regardless of literary influence, the tellers constantly altered them for their own purposes. [59] In less technical contexts, the term is also used to describe something blessed with unusual happiness, as in "fairy-tale ending" (a happy ending) [4] or "fairy-tale romance". Colloquially, the term "fairy tale" or "fairy story" can also mean any far-fetched story or tall tale; it is used especially of any story that not only is not true, but could not possibly be true. Legends are perceived as real within their culture; fairy tales may merge into legends, where the narrative is perceived both by teller and hearers as being grounded in historical truth. However, unlike legends and epics, fairy tales usually do not contain more than superficial references to religion and to actual places, people, and events; they take place " once upon a time" rather than in actual times.

Chesterton argued that "Fairy tales, then, are not responsible for producing in children fear, or any of the shapes of fear; fairy tales do not give the child the idea of the evil or the ugly; that is in the child already, because it is in the world already. Fairy tales do not give the child his first idea of bogey. What fairy tales give the child is his first clear idea of the possible defeat of bogey. The baby has known the dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination. What the fairy tale provides for him is a St. George to kill the dragon." [89] Albert Einstein once showed how important he believed fairy tales were for children's intelligence in the quote "If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairytales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairytales." [90]
