Old Fairy Tale Style

So before the age of Disney, fairy tales used to be more whimsical, and had a more different art style. These sorts of animated fairy tales were usually more close to the source material.

And we don't see that anymore. I'm not asking for those to come back (this would be on /co/ in that case). However, would such styles of stories work for RPGs?

Discuss the merits, your opinion on such a style, and maybe even mention a favorite if you're that old or Russian.

Pic is only slightly related, don't kill me for it.

Welp shit, didn't make thread look interesting enough.

Dead before it started, amirite?

Seriously though, I'll take anybody, even a mod.

I've never had such a dead thread. All of the previous ones had at least one person show up early on.

Anybody? Mod? Admin? Janitor? He Who Once Ruled These Lands But Shall Not Be Named?

Come on, you don't even have to be on-topic at this point!

I'm willing to have a nice conversation with somebody!

Anybody?

SOMEBODY BESIDES ME

OH PRAISE [REDACTED]

I have nothing to add but the Moomins are my jam. Especially Snufkin.

PEOPLE!

YES!

THIS IS FINE!

YOU CAN DISCUSS ANYTHING REMOTELY RELATED!

THANK YOU!

Fairytale stuff in general doesn't get much coverage in RPGs. You talk about wanting pre-Disney stuff, but hell, I find Disney fairy tale fantasy refreshing as a break from all this DnD, Tolkein-esque fantasy.

In general I actually do often strive for a sort of Disney-fairytale esque environment in my settings, very Snow White style stuff.
