Once upon a time, a little girl named Gertrude made a wish — and Fairyland answered.
That was thirty years ago.
Gertrude never found her way home. While her body stayed frozen in childhood, her mind aged, hardened, and eventually snapped. Now she's a foul-mouthed, axe-swinging wrecking ball tearing through a world of pastel skies and talking mushrooms — and she hates every last inch of it.
I Hate Fairyland is the black comedy fantasy comic series by Skottie Young, published by Image Comics — a story that takes everything you love about classic fairy tale adventure and gleefully drenches it in chaos. Think Adventure Time aesthetics meets Tank Girl attitude, wrapped around a protagonist whose rage is as earned as it is excessive.
This fan cast project imagines what a live-action/animated film adaptation could look like — who brings Gertrude's volcanic fury to life, who voices the insufferably cheerful citizens of Fairyland, and who steps into the shoes of the queen who started it all.
Fairyland has never been kind to Gertrude. Let's see if Hollywood does any better.
