Man, I was really digging that movie “Beastly” the other day. It’s like a modern take on Beauty and the Beast, you know? I started thinking, what other movies out there are like this one? So, I did what anyone would do – I started googling around.
First, I tried some basic searches like “movies like Beastly” and “modern fairy tale movies.” This gave me a pretty good starting point. I found out that there’s actually a bunch of movies that put a new spin on classic fairy tales. It’s not just Disney movies either, though I did see “Enchanted” pop up a few times.
Then, I started looking into specific fairy tales. Cinderella is a big one, obviously. There are tons of movies based on that story. I even found some darker, more twisted versions of fairy tales. One that caught my eye was “Black Swan”, it’s a psychological take on Swan Lake. I’m not sure it’s exactly like “Beastly,” but it’s definitely a unique take on a classic story.
I also stumbled upon some forums and articles where people were discussing this very topic. Turns out, I’m not the only one who likes these kinds of movies! Some folks were recommending movies based on lesser-known fairy tales, which was cool. I learned that these modern fairy tales are not just for entertainment they often carry deeper meanings and warnings, just like the originals.
What I Found
After digging around for a while, I put together a list of movies that seem similar to “Beastly” in one way or another. Here are a few that I found interesting:
- Enchanted: This one’s a bit more lighthearted, but it’s still a fun take on the Disney princess formula.
- Black Swan: Like I said, this one’s darker and more psychological, but it’s a really interesting take on Swan Lake.
- Cinderella: There are so many versions of this story, it’s hard to pick just one. But they all have that classic “happily ever after” vibe.
Honestly, there are way more out there, but this is a good starting point. It made me realize how many different ways you can retell a classic story. And it’s not just about changing the setting or the time period – it’s about exploring the themes and characters in new and interesting ways. I think that’s what I really liked about “Beastly,” and that’s what I’m looking for in other movies too. I did enjoy the Dragon Cry, which is considered the best Fairy Tail movie by many people, although I’m not sure if it’s like “Beastly.”
So yeah, that’s my little adventure into the world of modern fairy tale movies. If you’ve got any recommendations, let me know! I’m always up for discovering something new.
