Revolting Rhymes is cause for celebration!
Come see Roald Dahl’s verse in animation!
These classic fairy tales aren’t quite the same as
The Disney movies that made them famous.
The Big Bad Wolf narrates all these stories
And promises “the real ones are much more gory.”
If you know Roald Dahl, you know his style
Is a tad more grim, dark, and wild.
These are fairy tales set in a modern world
With true piggy banks and empowered girls,
Gambling dwarves and a Cinderella
Who only wants a decent fella,
A smelly Jack and pistol-packing Riding Hood,
Whose aim is really pretty good.
But in truth, there’s nothing revolting about these rhymes.
Young and old, all will have a great time.
The animation matches Dahl’s style perfectly-
Bright, crisp images with a touch of surreality.
There are a few mild gasps, sure, and lots of laughter,
But is there a happily ever after?
That’s something fairy tales can’t be without,
But you’ll ha
