Throughout history, fairy tales have often been sanitized and retrofitted to be innocent and genial. However, a closer look at the original fairy tales shows that they often leaned towards being darker and at times, even ribald. For example, one of the original endings to the tale known as Cinderella , has the two stepsisters getting their eyes pecked out by birds. For obvious reasons, Disney chose to not use this ending in their animated adaptation. In recent years, Disney has continued creating very kid-friendly takes on classic fairy tales while other adaptations have stuck to their roots and therefore are aimed at adults. These adult-oriented fairy tale adaptations are intriguing entries to the fantasy genre, and they have earned their fair share of fans as well. Penelope is the story of a young heiress who was born with a pig snout from a curse put upon her. The only way that she can lose her pig snout is if she finds true love with one who will accept her as she is. A modern fairy tale, the film makes use of fairy tale conventions but puts them in a contemporary romantic comedy, creating a great mishmash between genres that becomes more geared towards adults. The film has a great message that promotes self-love and acceptance, a lesson one is never too old to learn.
