    In your opinion what’s your favorite fairy tale? Personally my favorite is the story of Rumplestiltskin.

    Have you ever read a good book and then the movie was totally different or even slightly different? When a book is made into a movie it will alway be different. The directors have to pick what they find the most important because a movie can only be so long‚ while a book can be as long as it wants.
