[LM_NET] hit: fairytales + shrek

[marci davis <bluehilda@HOTMAIL.COM>]

Thanks to all who responded!  You guys are so great. I was only collecting
responses for the Shrek I, but there are lots more possibilities for Shrek
II.
Below are the responses, minus names.  Thanks again:

I would love to see a hit...I've been using Shrek a lot lately for
    disucssions about fairy tales and fractured fairy tales!

    The films also use a lot of nursery rhymes...  I can think of "The
    Gingerbread Man," "Three Blind Mice," and "The Muffin Man" off
    the top of my head.

    As far as fairy tales, we have The Three Pigs, Snow White,
    Cinderella and one Ugly Stepsister, Pinocchio, Puss in the
    Boots, Peter Pan (Captain Hook and TinkerBell show up, but I'm
    not sure about Pan himself), the Frog Prince, Tom Thumb and
    Thumbelina, Sleeping Beauty, Fairy Godmother...


We made sure we did "Puss and Boots" which only one student already knew

Well, I thought of the Gingerbread Man, Rapunzel in the tower, the Big
Bad Wolf, Pinocchio, the three blind Mice, Beauty and the Beast.  I
found a nice lesson plan online, though,
http://www.readwritethink.org/lessons/lesson_view.asp?id=810, which
explores a lot of other stuff that Shrek parodies that I completely
forgot, such as the Mission Impossible-type scene in Shrek 2, or Fiona
singing with Mr. Bluebird in Shrek.  ( The link to "additional satirical
links" is under "instructional plan.)

Wow, just today I did The Frog Prince and we talked
about that in Shrek 2, since Fiona's father was a
frog...what timing.

Here are a few that I can think of off the top of my head ...

Three Little Pigs
Goldilocks and the three bears
Gingerbread man
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Peter Pan (Tinkerbell)
Repunzal (not sure of the spelling)
Three Blind Mice
Pinocchio
Little Red Riding Hood
Jack and the Beanstalk??? (not sure about this one)
