In this episode, the M&Ms cover adaptations, specifically adapting fairy tales. Margaret discusses her own experience adapting “The Golden Stag” into a novella. Then, they dive into Amazon Prime’s Cinderella musical and the recent Disney live-action Snow White and explain why both adaptations fail. The M&Ms also discuss how to do better and succeed with any fairy tale retelling you may be planning.
