Production notes

Originally broadcast on The Bullwinkle Show.

The name change was accompanied with a change in networks, and a change in time slots, making this show the first prime-time animated show.

Fractured Fairy Tales was narrated by famous character actor Edward Everett Horton and lampooned such classic tales as Cinderella, Rapunzel, and The Frog Prince (the latter of which was spun off into the later series The Adventures of Hoppity Hooper).
