The iconic French version of a fairy tale which has variants going back centuries in many parts of the world. Don't worry: this has all the quality step-family shenanigans you're seeking.

Rated AD-G for general audiences

Contains thoughtless stepsisters and a rather cavalier attitude towards transmogrifying rodentia to be used as servants, but other than that, it’s pretty untroubling.

The English fairy tale of an enterprising young boy, a castle in the clouds, and some giants. It’s perhaps the best known of a series of “Jack Tales.”

Rated AD-G for general audiences

Contains a cruel and murderous giant, a conspiratorial and duplicitous giantess, and broken necks, which arguably might be the audio theater equivalent of villains falling from a great height.

The classic German fairy tale of a brother, a sister, and a witch's house in the deep, dark woods.

Rated AD-G for general audiences
