I would say Cinderella because it shows there can be happiness and love for everyone especially those who have been unloved and mistreated

My favorite is Beauty and the Beast because it teaches us not to judge by looks alone.

Cinderella, classic fairytale!

I love The Animals Bremen because the main characters were very smart and resourceful.

I like The Three Pigs. It is a perfect story for kids with a great moral.

"Beauty and the Beast" is my fave because of the lesson it teaches. It teaches us not to judge someone by their appearance but by the person inside. True beauty comes from within.

Cinderlla, because it shows no matter how bad things can get, you just have to have faith, things will get better,

My favorite is Snow White and the seven dwarfs.

i would love to win this for my grandbaby!!! i think sleeping beauty is the all time greatest little girl fantasy.!!!! thanks, sue

My favorite is Snow white, because it was the beginning of it all .

cinderella I like that she turns from a maid to the queen

cinderella,because dreams can come true!

cinderella ,i love how she gets away from the mean step mom and sisters and falls in love with her prince

"Beauty and the Beast" is a great fairytale. It teaches children that looks are not always an indicator of a person's character. A nice looking person is not always a friend and someone not so nice looking could be nice inside. It also teaches children that everyone deserves a second chance and one mistake can be overcome, sometimes at great cost but it can be done.

Beauty and the Beast. To look beyond appearance.

I loke the ugly duckling because it shows that there is always beauty lurking underneath everyone, no matter what they look like.

The Ugly Duckling. Because it shows that everyone is beautiful.

A great movie to show my grandkids. :)

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

The Ugly Duckling is the first fairytale I shared with my children because it teaches them about some of the realities we will see in life. There will always be those who mock you because you are different than they are, ie. gender, race, religion or even where you were born or were you live. There will also be some who think they are better looking than you or perhaps shun you because you are better looking than them, that includes intellectual differences as well. But in the end it is about self-discovery and knowing in the inner you and the "swan" that you can be in spite of what others say. I often hear in competitions the winner telling their audience...never let anybody you can't do something because you can if you really try. This story is an incredible teaching tool for our children and told in a way where as parents we can set our children's footsteps on the right path from the beginning.

I wouldn't call it a fairytale exactly, but I think that The Wizard of Oz is a great one because every child has a dream to live out their greatest adventures, even if other people say that it will get them into trouble. It also teaches you that you don't have to look for a faraway place to belong, as long as you have in your own backyard.

i always loved sleeping beauty who wouldnt want a hot lookin prince smoochin her out of a coma ;)~

My personal favorite is Alice in Wonderland. Pure escape.

A great movie to show my grandkids. I think it is one of the best Fairytales

Pinocchio. The story revolves around Pinocchio learning to behave, rather than relying on looks, or being saved from the circumstances of one's life. (The moral of most fairy tales seems to be "Buck up. sure your life is miserable, but it could be worse.)

Cinderella: she tuffed out the bad stuff in life, and in the end received something good

The Ugly Duckling- I really identified with that story when I was a little girl.

sleeping beauty is actually my favorite but I also love snow white and Ariel

I do love Belle and Beauty and the Beast because it teachers children that beauty is on the inside.

We love Little Mermaid, a father's love for his daughter is a beautiful thing.

When a man can forget what he thinks is best and do what will make another person happy, it shows he truely loves that person.

Nothing can compare to a father/daughter relationship.

We give Little Mermaid a 5 out of 5!!!

beauty and the beast it showa everyone deserves love

Mulan- What's not to love- Girl overcomes prejudices and saves her country.

Hansel and Gretal shows children to beware of strangers with sweets.

We love Beauty and the Beast because the message that beauty is within everyone.

Thanks for the contest.

The Fox And The Hound Because It Teaches You That Love Can Overcome Anything

Sleeping Beauty was always my favorite. I like all the good witches in it, and the emphasis on the sweetness and goodness of Aurora.

I think Beauty and the Beast is a great story because it teaches tolerance and how we should be accepting of everyone.

Bambi is the best children's fairytale. i think it helps explain death and love to young children.

Cinderella because of its positive message-love and dreams can come true and overcome life's problems.

I have sooo many favorite fairytales, but I'll have to say... Cinderella is my top fav! It's the classic "rags to riches" story! I love the all the songs as well!

I have always loved Beauty and the Beast b/c it teaches you that you should love someone for who they are, not by how they look. Wonderful story!!! And great music! Thanks! :)

With two boys under the age of five, the favorite fairy tail in our house is the ugly duckling. I want them to know early on that beauty comes from within and that no one should be ridiculed for how they look. I also want them to stick up for those who are being picked on for reasons beyond their control.

Bambi...Grandkids can watch it over and over and still cry when the mother gets killed. I don't think they will ever hunt deer!

Isn't a fairytale just a story? With that said, My children and I really have enjoyed Finding Nemo. Classic in all aspects. Great story, great characters. Fantastic..."Fairytale", if you ask me!

I love Dumbo

i really love Pocahontas, it's such a great show of anybody being able to do anything and change people's way of thinking

Sleeping Beauty because it's my daughter's favorite :)

Cinderella is my favorite! Cindarelli cindarelli night and day its cindarelli do the dishes do the sewing lol Thank you so much for the chance to win!

The Little Mermaid is our favorite fairytale!

Beauty and The Beast because it tells us that it doesn't matter what a person looks like. We should have love and respect for others!
Thanks so much!

Cinderella

I loved Snow White as a child and enjoy reading it to my granddaughters, who also love the story.

Since I clean houses for a living it's Cinderella. Still waiting for my Prince though!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say "The Nightmare Before Christmas". Yeah, yeah, I'm sure many parents out there will not agree, but I think that like Beauty And The Beast, NBC shows that just because you may look scary and dark on the outside does not mean you're that way on the inside. Jack Skellington was a gentle soul despite his skeleton grin, and his love for Sally and his dog Zero made him that much more human. So, there you go. :)

Beauty and the Beast is the best fairytale. Now more than ever we all need to learn to not judge people by their appearance.

the best one for children is Peter Pan.

I do love Sleeping Beauty - one of my favorite Disney movies and fairy tale.

Beauty and the Beast is my favorite because it teaches several messages: That real beauty comes from within and that we should not judge people for their appearance. It also teaches that if people cause us emotional hurt, we CAN overcome the pain and learn to love and trust again.

beauty and the beast.It teaches us to love the person on the inside and not judge only by what you see.

I'd say Bambi

Cinderella has always been my favorite. Doing good will eventually be rewarded.

I'd say Cinderella, great story.

The Little Mermaid. It is a great story about living life, family, friendships and love.

Cinderella, because good things can happen to anyone!

I love the story of Beauty and the Beast. It teaches children not to judge someone simply on looks alone. You can't judge a book by its cover! Thanks for the chance to win your great giveaway!

As a child I cherished the story of the Ugly Duckling, such a poignant story that ended beautifully

I always loved the story of Snow White and the enchanting little dwarfs.

I always liked Little Red Riding Hood because I was a bit of a rebellious young girl too

As a child, I really loved The Three Bears...it was a story about breaking and entering--really...but it was great how the bears did not harm Goldilocks when she trespassed.

I always liked Sleeping Beauty the best. The witch was so scary. The fairies that raised her were so sweet.

I have to go with Cinderella because it shows that you can have great things in life no matter how you start out.

I love the three little pigs :)

I immediately thought of Pinocchio. Severe lessons in that one, i.e., nose growing for lying, being turned into a donkey, etc.

I've got to go with Dumbo. Teaches you to believe in yourself!

The Emperor's New Clothes, because it teaches the valuable lesson of not going along with the crowd when you can clearly see they are wrong.

The Ugly Duckling; it speaks of the beauty within.

Pinocchio, because you'll always get caught if you lie and lose in the end

Pinocchio teaches children what "could" happne when they lie. Everyone, young and old can relate to Pinocchio, and can see them selves in his shoes.

I love the Princess and the Pea. It isn't scary and it has a happy ending.

Three Little Pigs - encouraging and uplifting - and ends happily!

Three Little Pigs - encouraging and uplifting - and ends happily!

Three Little Pigs - encouraging and uplifting - and ends happily!

Goldilocks and the Three Bears - All kids relate to daddy, mommy and baby bear and being hungry

Cinderella because I love the idea of finding your love based on whether the shoe fits.

I always loved Hansel and Grethel. It showed a brother's love for his sister and warned children of strangers.

Cinderella was my absolute favorite when I was young.

I loved so many as a child and still do. If I have to pick one I think it would be beauty and the beast teaching not judge by apperance.

Any of them where they don't "get married and live happily after". It makes girls believe that if they can just make it to the altar, everything will be all right. Boy is THAT a bad thing to believe!
But if I have to pick just one, it would be The Ugly Duckling. It teaches girls that, just because you aren't beautiful to SOME people, you are still beautiful to other people.

I think Pinocchio it teaches children not to lie or something will happen if you do.

pinocchio because it teaches the consequences of lying

I would say Beauty and the Beast because he shows acceptance no matter who you are.

I love Cinderella - because no matter where you start in life any thing can happen.

Hansel and Grettle. I just always liked that one- even if it's a bit scarey.

Sleeping Beauty is my all time favorite because it is soooo romantic!

The Little Mermaid - she followed her dreams even though she faced a huge unknown, the world above and surviving in it.

My favorite is Pinocchio because it stresses responsibility in a fun way.

I love the little mermaid!

I think the Ugly Duckling has a lovely message about rising above rejection and criticism.

The Ugly Duckling because how it teaches about beauty and how it is inside of us all.

I like fairy tales that I can make another story out of good.

Sleeping Beauty is one of the best but I love Dumbo.

Beauty and the Beast, because it teaches not to judge by appearance and shows how people can change for the better.

dumbo. it shows that the different looking can do it too!

Cinderella

Pinocchio...simply put...things go from good to bad when you lie...

I have to say Sleeping Beauty because it says that love can overcome evil.

Ugly Duckling teaches what really is important and what is not.

cinderella, because i think its great encouragement to show everyone that lifes can change by the simplest things

Hansel & Gretel because it teaches children the danger in eating a witch's house! :)

Cinderella because it shows that dreams can come true.

Thank you!

I think pinochio because it has a great moral to it.

They don't make them like they used to.

I like Beauty and the Beast because it teaches that beauty comes from within.

It's got a good triumphs over evil message.

Rapunzel was always my favorite becuase of her hair

The Tortoise and the Hare. The story teaches you not to underestimate your anyone.

The Ugly Duckling is the best because it teaches children that what is inside is what is truly important!

Thank you for having this! Sleeping Beauty for sure. Thank you!

Beauty and the Beast...teaches a wonderful lesson about love

I'd love to win this for my kids

I always love the story of Rapunzel.

i want to win

I like the story "Die gar traurige Geschichte mit dem Feurerzeug' of a girl who plays with matches after she's been told to and burns up. It's part of a compilation of stories in one book all teaching a lesson of what happens when you don't listen. Obviously, this is a book from long before the pushing of the feel-good era.

Hard to choose just one, but I really like The Lion King.It conveys a touching story with a whimsical touch. (I love Timon & Pumba!)

Beauty and the Beast because of the great message not to judge a person by their looks and because Belle is a smart and compassionate heroine.

Snow White, still the best.

I love Sleeping Beauty because the illustrations and colors are so vivid and the story is wonderful.

Cinderella is an all time fave! It is a great story.

Nemo... Such a sweet movie about being brave and facing one's problems

sleeping beauty is the best because true beauty isn't just on the outside.

Cinderella

I liked Cinderella when I was little because I thought I was a princess in disquise

I liked Cinderella when I was little because I thought I was a princess in disquise

Pinocchio. Don't lie or your nose will grow!

I liked Cinderella when I was little because I thought I was a princess in disquise

I like Hansel and Gretel-it has all the elements of good and evil!

Bambi..Sometimes life is tough...but hang in there.

the sword and the stone the whole larger then life merlin king arthur world great disney for us animation fans

From so many favorites, perhaps "Finding Nemo" because it is an analogy to the current fast-paced environment we live in. Among the lessons learned are that fact we must persist beyond our real (or imagined) disabilities to success- there is no failure- only lack of persistence, as Nemo discovers that he can make it despite his "gimpy fin". Another is the true lesson that we never stop learning and that even in fatherhood, while the child does need protection from danger, you don't have to tell them so as this constant "be careful" barrage tends to reduce their encouragement. Instead, tell them "the world better watch out for you!" while YOU keep a lookout for sharks! The truth of the matter is that, coming into the tv room to watch my 4-year-old's expression as she laughed and giggled, even I got pulled into it! That's what I walked away with. Good luck to everyone in the contest!

I would say Pinocchio because of the consequences of lying and the happy ending.

pinnochio, because it has a point

I love Cinderella because of the dress...

We love The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast because the heroines were so appealing and the other characters were so adorable! Thanks!

Beauty and the Beast, educational

Sleeping Beauty has always been my favorite fairy tale. First of all it has three fairies. And a really fabulous evil fairy with a bad temper. She has to be the best witch out of them all !! Then there is sweet Aurora who doesn't know she is a princess, and is doomed to prick her finger on a spinning wheel. And no amount of trickery can save her. Still true love conquers all and the handsome prince comes to the rescue with a kiss. You can't help the little tug at your heart.

Beauty and the beast because it tells you to look deeper than a face to know a person

My favorite is Shrek. It's sweet, funny and Eddie Murphy as "Donkey".

I love Sleeping Beauty because my daughter loves the music! Why doesn't Disney use classical music in their movies anymore? My favorite STORY, though, is Jack and the Beanstalk because it teaches us all to keep our imaginations alive and that children believe in things that we as adults have forgotten. That is a great lesson!

Beauty and the Beast is the best by far. It teaches that no matter what life throws at you, you alway have a chance to keep the greatness you have had inside you all along. You may look like a beast with your problems, but if you see the beauty inside you, life can turn out to be OK....

I think it's Cinderella because my granddaughter absolutely adores that story.

Hanel and Gretel. The children were resourcefula nd got themselves out of harms way

I think my favorite would be Cinderella, because it has a happy ending and is so whimsical.

Pinocchio, it teaches lieing is wrong

The little mermaid because it teaches that bad people can be pretty...ie. ursula turning herself into a beautiful girl.

Most of them carry an important message but I would say the lesson in Beauty and the Beast is the MOST important.

Most of them carry an important message but I would say the lesson in Beauty and the Beast is the important.

I would say Pinocchio, because it teaches that it isn't wise to lie.

Beauty and the Beast because it's good for kids to learn about not judging by appearance.

Pinocchio because of the lesson about not lying. Thanks for the giveaway!

I loved Ashenputtel - basically the same as Cinderella, but the evil stepsisters mutilated themselves in order to be able to wear the glass slipper. Basically for them they reaped what they sowed - and they had to live with their mutilation til they died. And of course finally the prince found the real girl for whom the glass slipper fit perfectly !

The Little Engine That Could
............Everybody CAN

Cinderella is the best children's fairytale. Why? Because my daughter says it is, and that's good enough for me. Our copy of Sleeping Beauty is a funky, old VHS tape from the 1980s. A shiny new DVD copy would be much appreciated.

I like beauty and the beast cause i am the beast

I like beauty and the beast cause i am the beast

My favorite is Sleeping Beauty. I appreciate the art that went into it, especially for its time. I think it's epic.

My favorite fairy tale is Beauty & the Beast -- seeing people for how they really are and how some people have reasons for being the way they are.

Snow white because it has a happy ending

I guess it would have to be Sleeping Beauty. I loved the dragon that the Prince had to fight.

I would choose Little Red Riding Hood,it has it all.Good & evil,lying,a good moral.

Thanks for this giveaway. I'd say the Boy Who Cried Wolf. Because of his lying. Thanks so much.

Pinocchio- because of the lying

Sleeping Beauty. That Dopey is the everyman!!!

snow white because it is so magical.

Sleeping Beauty- who can beat love conquers all?

3 pigs-building a strong foundation

3 pigs-building a strong foundation

I loved Mulan because she was not just a pretty princess but a warrior

I love Beauty and the Beast... a nice wholesome meaning and a beautifully crafted storyline. How magical :)

The Tinderbox by Hans Christian Anderson. It illustrates very effectively how being greedy can cause one to lose everything, and that gratitude for what is received is much better.
Alicia Webster

Fern Gully - it teaches children about the destruction of rain forest

My favorite all time is Beauty And The Beast beacuse it teaches us to love no matter what. Plus love all the music and animations of everything!

I loved Snow White as a kid, it was a magical experience . As I got older my likes have changed a bit.. the classics snow white, sleeping beauty... but Dumbo is my all time favorite.

I agree that Cinderella is a great story since it shows how anyone can be anything. Also Shrek is another modern day "fairy tale" with a great message that looks are truly in the eye of the beholder.

Cinderella! A rags to riches love story!

Cinderella is great because it shows you can have any sort of background, but still have great things in life.

The Little Mermaid--she was proud, independent, and whimsical, a winning combination.

I like Goldilocks and the Three Bears where no one is murdered or eaten.

I'd say Pinocchio, because it teaches about the fallout from lying.

I always liked the three little pigs, thought it told a good story of how to overcome obstacles in life through teamwork.

I think the 7 Dwarfs movie teaches that you can be happy while you work.

I would have to say either Sleeping Beauty or Snow White.
