JJ Villard's Fairy Tales

I recently checked out the premiere of JJ Villards Fairytales and it is a twisted fairytale animated horror show.

If you enjoy dark humor, surreal animation, horror and fairytales , be sure to check this show out.

The first episode was crazy. The story is a twisted version of the Rapunzel fairytale which has been adapted many times by such shows as Hallmarks Timeless tales fairytales for all ages animated series, the Disney film Tangled and more. If you have never read or heard of this fairytale before, this episode will introduce you to this fairytale in a very weird way by introducing you to boypunzel and his adventure in JJ's Fairytale World.

I thought the voice cast did a great job in this episode too. This show casts an ensemble of Horror and other voice actors from Doug Bradley to Robert Englund and more. I don't know who did the voices for episode 1 but they did an amazing job.

I look forward to checking out more of this show which it's dark gross twisted humor reminded me of the show Ren and Stimpy when they premiere the episodes on the Adult Swim website and see what fairytales will get the horror adaptation next.

I definitely reccomend this show to Horror fans 18 and over. Great job to the Creator and voice cast thus far!

I give it 9/10 stars.

The concept is really good, putting a darker twist on fairy tales, but the execution is just meh. This show is so weird that I can't even fit it into my usual review format.

The art is really nice, and so is the voice acting, but I loathe the way the characters move. Unlike South Park, where it's like that on purpose, here it just seems like a way to cut corners.

There's also a lot of blood, gore, and gross-out, so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who's squeamish of those things. Then again, I'm pretty sure the creator of this show also worked on the infamous gross-out show King Star King.

I think this show would work better as a direct adaptation of the fairy tales aired in a primetime slot, making them as dark as they originally were, but with better animation, more believable characters, and less gross-out.

2018 and 2019 were such good years for adult animation, we got masterpieces like Primal. Final Space, and Tuca & Bertie. What the heck happened in 2020? The Midnight Gospel, Solar Opposites, and this show all were disappointing to me. Duncanville is alright but not the best thing ever. Hopefully Crossing Swords and Central Park are good.

Im 32 and love it. Love stupid things where you don't have to think and its so silly its just enjoyable.

There's so much that offending for offending sake's can take you, specially in this day and age when that is truly meaningless.

Instead of being genuinely subversive this show just takes the immature route of being gratuitously gross and offensive, there is very little cleverness unless you find characters making wonky random faces with random wonky editing something that creative or endearing. It feels like it tries to be an edgier version of the first season of south park but made by someone that did not understood anything that made a show like south park appealing when it first aired, and of course, this comes more than 20 years later after south park aired, when no one really cares about the "oh no they didn't" type of grade school humor that looks like it came out of the mind of the cartoonist protagonist played by Tom Green in "freddy got fingered" or some highschool flash animator in the early 00s newsgrounds.

Be assured, I am not rating the show so low because i am morally appalled or because i am queasy but rather because i found it trite and thoroughly unpleasant, not because of the controversial nature but for the lack of any redeemable features or a genuine intention to be creative or funny accompanying it. This show is just a compilation of mean spirited bits thrown against a wall expecting some kind of special gold star for being "so out there"

I mean it's not for the 'mature' but if you will, turn off the logical brain side of you and enjoy the peice of entertainment. I as a 24 year old enjoy.
