"
From John H. Williams (Oscar winning producer of both the billion dollar box office hit 'Shrek' and 'Valiant'), BAF Berlin Animation Film and BFC Berliner Film Companie comes an exciting new animated feature for the whole family.

Inspired by the classic Grimm Brothers Fairy Tales (the second best-selling book in the world, after the Bible), this feature CGI comedy explores what would happen if the balance of good and evil were set out of whack in Fairy Tale Land.

Tired of the status quo, an unholy alliance of bad guys led by Frieda, Cinderella's evil stepmother, takes on the good guys. Cinderella (aka Ella) starts out as a damsel in distress (your typical Prince dreamer), but when her own fairy tale takes a radical left turn she is forced to form and eventually lead a resistance group without her Prince Charming."

Shrek was fun. Doing a movie that was a satire based on fairy tales worked well for that franchise. But the idea that we need a whole "satirical fairy tale genre," that this is a "market" that demands many other films, I don't know if that's necessary. When producers see a big-budget property they all try to invest in something similar, but we might be better off if 3D comedies gave fairy tales a rest for a decade or two and spoofed something else.

Looks interesting. The character animation was absolutely amazing. I'll judge the plot later, because although it sounds along the lines of Shrek, the could be handling it an entirely different way.

This looks like a fun movie, even if the subject matter is tired.

Even though "Shrek" is what most people think of first in regards to fairy tale spoofs, "Fractured Fairytales" was doing this (and doing it well) in 1959.

well the production of happily never after started way before shrek was in cinemas, it started as a 2d film a long time ago and went to different stages, i don't think that they are trying to create something similar to shrek

Can somebody explain why there is an apostrophe after the N?
i think "(N)ever" wouldn't look that better :D
