Shrek
Shrek is one of the funniest fairy tales in cinema . A classic that is already over twenty years old and that we can see on all streaming platforms with a film that never goes out of style.

the song of the sea
Ben and Saoirse’s movie is a very different fairy tale than others on this list.

Strange Magic
Strange Magic is a musical inspired by the play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” by William Shakespeare and that we can see on Disney Plus.
