Classic Fairy Tales Get a Gritty, Cinematic Makeover in Short Fiction
Forget everything you know about fairy tales. Short Fiction, an animated series, is crashing onto Kickstarter with a bold, genre-bending vision that flips childhood classics into sharp-witted, high-stakes storytelling. This isn't a nostalgic rehash-it's a fearless reimagining, where bedtime stories collide with crime, satire, and razor-sharp dialogue.
Blending dark humor, underworld intrigue, and cult cinema homages, the series turns well-known tales into gritty, visually striking masterpieces tailored for adult audiences. From heists and betrayals to morally bankrupt dwarfs running the streets, Short Fiction transforms familiar fables into a cinematic spectacle of chaos, comedy, and consequence.

Created by Saint Rogue, an LA-based entertainment studio, Short Fiction brings beloved characters into a world where innocence is in short supply. Cinderella isn't dreaming of a prince-she's settling old scores. Pinocchio isn't just lying-he's scheming his way out of trouble. And the Seven Dwarfs? They're not working in a mine; they're running a criminal empire.
The series features:
*
Animated Crime Epics: Fairy tale characters reimagined as antiheroes, hustlers, and masterminds, navigating a world where morality is blurred, and nothing is what it seems.
*
Visually Striking Animation: Inspired by live-action cinematography, the series blends cinematic realism with bold, stylized aesthetics.
*
Cinematic Tributes: Every episode is a nod to iconic filmmakers, with Season 1 drawing from Quentin Tarantino and future seasons celebrating Wes Anderson, Ridley Scott, and Stanley Kubrick.
"Our Kickstarter campaign marks a turning point for adult animation," said TJ Stafford, Founder of Saint Rogue. "We're showing that animation can be as daring, visually stunning, and rich in story as live-action cinema. Short Fiction isn't just giving classic tales a modern twist-it's about pushing the limits of what animated storytelling can be."

Bringing together classic storytelling with cutting-edge animation, Short Fiction offers a darkly comedic, high-stakes take on nostalgia. Each episode unravels a twisted version of the fairy tales audiences think they know, where the Seven Dwarfs aren't miners but criminal masterminds, Cinderella isn't waiting for a prince-she's settling scores, and Pinocchio's lies have much higher stakes.
Backers of the campaign will gain access to exclusive perks, including original concept art, behind-the-scenes content, cameo opportunities, and limited-edition merchandise.
