Or maybe not so creative idea. It seems that ABC and Selma Hayek are combining forces to create a magical miniseries which is based on a popular novel which was based upon a beloved classic movie which was based upon another book. The popular novel was also the basis for a megahit Broadway musical which is (the last I heard) is being turned into a big-screen production. Whatever happened to an original, creative idea.
The miniseries in question is based upon the novel, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire. While the musical may be a blockbuster, one of Maguire’s newer “Fractured Fairy Tales” was made into a telefilm. Anyone remember Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister? That’s ok… neither do I.
I think I will stick with the Fractured Fairy Tales as ready by Edward Everett Horton as seen on The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. For your enjoyment, I have chosen a classic Mr. Know-It-All segment.
Haha, that’s funny. I’ll stick with the beautiful 1939 classic movie, thanks.
Reminds me of this debacle:

Can you believe The Charmings, a sitcom chronicling Snow White and Prince Charming in suburbia, lasted just short of a year? Who’d a thunk?
And wow – a cartoon character smoking?!? Times have changed.
I vaguely remember The Charmings.
Somewhere there is a banned Flinstone ad for Winston cigs. And to think we now have Flinstones vitamins 🙂
