The Storyteller (TV series)/YMMV
- Complete Monster: In "The True Bride" the Troll and the Trollop.
- The Wicked Stepmother in "The Three Ravens" becomes this when she drops babies down a well to frame their mother for killing them.
- So when she was ensnaring the king by making him think she looked like his dead wife, putting creepy-crawlies in his children's toybox, turning his sons into ravens with the gift of cursed shirts and poisoning him to death with a snake, she was only 99% monster?
- The Wicked Stepmother in "The Three Ravens" becomes this when she drops babies down a well to frame their mother for killing them.
- Nightmare Fuel: Hans, My Hedgehog
- Retroactive Recognition: A non-acting example -- the script writer for the series was Anthony Mingella, then just some guy but now famous as a writer and director of films including Truly Madly Deeply, The English Patient, The Talented Mr. Ripley and Cold Mountain.
- Tear Jerker: All of the Downer Endings. The story of Daedelus in particular will rip out your soul.
- Although Hans the hedgehog and his wife end up happily, his mother dies of a broken heart when he leaves home near the beginning. Sob.
- Too Good to Last
- Unnecessary Makeover: YMMV, but Anja (from "The True Bride") looked better with straight blonde hair, than she does with the curly red mop she gets when she becomes a princess.
