What are the Ibizan Fairy Tales?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Ibizan Fairy Tales are short popular stories that, for hundreds of years, have been passed down orally from parents to children. Writer Joan Castell\u00f3 was the main promoter, through several volumes, of the literary compilation of these popular tales.It was a work very similar to that carried out by the Brothers Grimm in 19th century Germany, with H\u00e4nsel and Gretel, Cinderella or Snow White. Another good example would be the Amazonian legends or the magical stories of India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ibizan Fairy Tales<\/strong> are stories that mix magical elements and everyday life through universal plots that are intended to entertain the younger audience. It should be noted that, although these stories take place in Ibiza, they contain universal situations and characters that can be identified throughout the world. Without being excessively manichean, these tales have a slight moralizing tone that differentiates between good and evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our proposal consists of the film adaptation of three of these Ibizan Fairy Tales: All Hallows’ Eve, The Skulls of Can Fita, and The Giant of Es Vedr\u00e0. These three stories contain all the virtues of Joan Castell\u00f3’s work: historical, cultural, and family values, fantastic elements, and large doses of entertainment.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
