Adult Swim has long been home to wonderfully absurd and delightfully surreal shows that blend horror and comedy for memorable late-night viewings. Premiering May 10th, the animated JJ Villard’s Fairy Tales looks to be right at home on the bold programming block, and the official trailer for the new series teases a twisted take on timeless Brothers Grimm stories.
JJ Villard’s Fairy Tales features a voice cast that should interest horror fans in particular, with Linda Blair, Warwick Davis, Robert Englund, Corey Feldman, Alan Oppenheimer, Jennifer Tilly, and Villard among those bringing characters to life with their unique voices.
You can watch the official trailer for the first season of JJ Villard’s Fairy Tales below, and keep an eye out for JJ Villard’s Fairy Tales when it premieres on Adult Swim on Sunday, May 10th at 12:15am.
Synopsis: “JJ Villard’s Fairy Tales” is a new, twisted, fun take on the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tales like Cinderella and Snow White. The charm and cuteness of the original stories remain, but now they've been updated and packaged into a ball of raw, visceral, gross weirdness. The animated quarter-hour series is created, and executive produced by JJ Villard (“King Star King”) and produced by Cartoon Network Studios. Voice talent this season includes Linda Blair, Warwick Davis, Robert Englund, Corey Feldman, Alan Oppenheimer, Jennifer Tilly, and Villard himself among others.
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
