Twisted Tales

"It only gets twisted from here."

- Series' tagline

Disney's Twisted Tales, or simply Twisted Tales, is an animated series based on the A Twisted Tale book series developed by Disney Publishing. The series is distributed by Disney+. Similar to Marvel's What If...? series, Twisted Tales asks what if in relation to Disney movies and television shows. Each episode is roughly a half-hour to an hour in length and those that originated in live-action are rendered in cell-shaded 3D, similar to What If...?

Synopsis
Yen Sid (Corey Burton) hosts the series from his tower as seen in Fantasia. Every episode begins with the sorcerer trying to concoct a spell before he addresses the audience with this narration: "What if everything you knew, did not turn out exactly as planned? What if it all did not turn out the way that you were told? Through the use of my magic, we will see how these events could have alternatively unfolded. It could have been different...it could have been worse...or just maybe it could have been...twisted!"

Yen Sid then introduces the segment by showing his cauldron which then displays the episode. His intro and outro will reflect on the general theme of the episode, similar to Rod Serling of the The Twilight Zone. In the case for the episode "Great Day", he admits that it is difficult to address a "what if" scenario so he simply shows a time in which the characters themselves make up their own "what if" day.

The tone for each episode usually shifts between dark and dramatic, to lighthearted and comical; showing the versatile nature of Disney stories throughout the years.
