# Remixed Social Media Fairytales The Alice in Tumblr-Land Book Imagines Fairytale Characters Today By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2013-11-14 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alice-in-tumblr-land References: [queerty](http://www.queerty.com/mulan-is-now-transgender-as-classic-fairy-tales-get-re-imagined-in-new-book-20131108/) & [fairytalesfor20somethings.tumblr](http://fairytalesfor20somethings.tumblr.com/) The 'Alice in [Tumblr](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tumblr-campaign)-Land' book by Tim Manley re-imagines [classic fairytale characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleepless-beauty) as if they were alive today — and online. Just like most of the Internet, Tumblr can be a strange place, which is communicated perfectly in the title for this book that draws parallels between a Wonderland-like universe and the micro-blogging site. Snippets from Manley's contemporary fairy tales can be found on his Tumblr blog, 'Fairytales for 20 Somethings.' The hilarious illustrations and small blurbs play out scenarios like [Cinderella receiving text messages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinderella-capsule) from her 'Text Message Fairy Godmother,' the Cheshire Cat capitalizing on the fame of Internet cats by writing a memoir and selfie-taking Ugly Ducklings. Most of these classic fairytales are already well known, but these Tumblr-inspired twists brings a whole new meaning to youthful Millennials. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Contemporary Fairytale Adaptations:** Opportunity for artists and storytellers to reimagine classic fairytales for modern audiences. - **Social Media Integration in Storytelling:** Potential for incorporating social media platforms and online culture into storytelling for a more relatable and engaging experience. - **Humorous and Satirical Narratives:** Space for creating funny and satirical narratives that humorously comment on contemporary issues and internet culture. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Publishing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to publish books that offer unique and modern twists on classic fairytales. - **Digital Content Creation:** Chance for digital content creators to produce social media-inspired narratives and illustrations that resonate with young audiences. - **Entertainment:** Possibility for entertainment companies to develop TV shows or movies based on modernized fairytales with a humorous and satirical twist. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Positive Social Media Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tumblr-campaign.md) - [Storybook-Inspired Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mischief-academy.md) - [AI Fairytale Generator](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-fairytale-generator.md) - [Whimsical Harlequin-Patterned Décor Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alices-adventures-collection.md) - [Kid's AI Storytelling Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairy-tales-world-kid-stories.md) - [Fairytale Mystery Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-fairytale-files-interactive-murder-mysteries.md) - [Soft-Colored Disney Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinderella-capsule.md) - [Sleep Support Fairy Tales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleepless-beauty.md) - [Dairytale Bridal Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1.md)
