Fairy tales...

[garnetsilver]

Hansel and Gretel wouldn't get lost in the woods because they'd be using a SatNav.

Good ones, Rose!

Sleeping Beauty would be diagnosed with narcolepsy.

 

[Duke]

Goldilocks would have been arrested for a whole series of crimes, included burglary, unlawful habitation, petty theft, and criminal damage of property. And of course the Three Bears could have sought civil damages for the pain and suffering that resulted from the traumatic events resulting from her actions.

Or Scott's Porridge Oats could strike a deal with her...

I love everyone's imagination

The three little pigs would al be living together in the brick house as the straw and stick houses would not pass the county inspections. However, when the Big Bad Wolf shows up they would call the 911 to report an attempted home invasion and turn over the footage from their video doorbell to be used as evidence.

Pinocchio would be a robot whose artificial intelligence becomes self aware. Scientists would attempt to capture and study how this happened.

The poor shoemaker would get in a lot of legal trouble when it's discovered that he has never paid the elves for any of the work they did making and fixing shoes in his shop, essentially making them non union slave labor.

The Ugly Duckling would make a tearful TikTok video about how they are teased by the other ducks. Celebrities would lavish attention on the Ugly Duckling and it was start a national conversation about bullying and harassment.

The Pied Piper Of Hamlin would just get in Pest Control...

With the current economic situation I can see playing the flute and dancing pests out of town being promoted as a cheap enviromentally friendly option, possible endorsed by a dubious doctor of dancestermination theorum. I think people putting up their kids as collateral would be frowned upon though. Hopefully.

The Big Bad Wolf from "Little Red Riding Hood" would be charged with elder abuse.

But there would be a popular movement claiming that grandmagate was a false flag operation by big little girl and that Red Riding Hood killed Grandma to smear the wolf, who is totally honest. They would claim that food hampers are poison and kill 1,000,000 people a year and that the wolf knew the Truth and had to be silenced.

Instead of trading the family cow, Jack's family from Jack And The Beanstalk would simply claim unemployment benefits.

Then find out they still had to sell the cow because it's now 12p per week, but do it on E-Bay and get ripped off in a more modern way!

 

[Benway]

When Jack got to the top of the Beanstalk he'd be sent away for not having a visa for Skycloudkillergiantland. If he did get in and steal a magic harp it would be impounded by customs until he'd paid one cow in duty.
