Once Upon a Forest
The fairy tales in Once Upon A Forest come to us in parts, like a puzzle slowly coming together piece by piece. We meet Snow White, a fame-seeking Tailor, a hedgehog boy, and one generous young man. Bordering this intricately detailed puzzle is a dragon chasing a group of children. One falls behind and, whoosh, is gone. As the puzzle and the dragon begin to merge, we see the characters, who have been wandering through the wood, congregate and unite against the fiery foe. They slay the dragon and each gets to wish for their heart’s desire.
