It doesn't have to necessarily be based on it, but it can share similar themes, or characteristics.

  1. Cinderella is the most commonly used theme in literature etc: poor little rich girl - mother dies - father remarries - wicked stepmother - Prince Charming  - happily ever after. . . . . . .Is there any other plot?


  2. the film "the brothers grimm" is an excellent mish-mash of fairy tales.  

    also, "the book of lost things" by john connolly is a great take on a familiar story.

    in theatre, look at the plays "once upon a wolf" & "nick tickle, fairy tale detective" by steph deferie - funny modern takes on fairy tales.
