What makes a fairy tell is the same generic story such as a villian and a hero and mystic creatures that are in it to make up the fairy tale aspect of it

Fantasy is what makes a fairy tale a fairy tale. At the end of fairy tales everyone lives happily ever after. I think that fairy tales are still relevant today, in some cases.

I think that a fairy tale is a story with mystical characteristics but the characters usually still have human like emotions so the audience has something to relate too.

What makes it a fairy tale is when something mystical happens. Whether it’s with princesses or monsters. Most the things that happen in fairy tales wouldn’t happen in real life. Yes they are relevant today because fairy tales are still being made.

I feel like a fairy tale is a fairy tale when it is beyond what could ever be reality. These types of worlds have heroes as well as dragons and other beasts that could only be imagined. Though fairy tales are old, they still hold just as much relevance as they had hundreds of years prior.

I think what makes a fairytale is when shrek is in the story. Fairytales end with happy endings. Always gotta have a villain that gets caught. Always has a hero. They are still relevant.

Fairy tales show love and mental animation, doesn't always have to be cartoons to say. But can be actors with a very bright animated story line for love.

I think that a fairy tale is a story that is too good to be true. They also have unrealistic aspects to them.

A fairy tale is usually a made up story that usually involves love or a happy ending. They sometimes have mythical creatures.
