25 Great Movies Inspired by Folk Tales

"Oftentimes, these beloved tales—or the tradition they come from—work their ways into the hearts and minds of creative filmmakers, who translate the legends into their own vision. From revisiting the surrealism of "Alice in Wonderland" to visualizing the "Lord of the Rings," retelling ancient parables or conceiving of contemporary masterpieces, filmmakers have been adapting folk tales and translating—or creating—them for the silver screen for decades."
