Reading Notes: Part A Grimm Brothers (Ashliman)



Cat and Mouse Partnership
- could be told from the side of Tom and Jerry to make it more modern

The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids
- haven't read or heard any stories like this before, but it was interesting. Would need to cut down the length when writing it.

Little Red Cap
- would be something to rewrite, but would need to find an interesting twist or a better way to describe the story.

The Elves
- use this story but change the main character from a shoe maker to like, something that could possibly tie in with Pinocchio, and maybe how he became a real boy?

Herr Korbes
- change the characters to Bugs Bunny and Laffy and have them exchange dialogue

Rumpelstiltskin
- tell this story about a girl who invades cinderella ball and wishes to marry the king and how she is able to spin straw into gold and have rumplelstiltskin enter and teach her the ways and she live happily ever after... or would she? since she now owed Rumple a favor that will indent her forever.
