    A bit misleading in the title but this movie from 1997 is loosely based on these pictures:

    Fairy Tale: A True Story Cottin1

    Fairy Tale: A True Story Cottin2

    Fairy Tale: A True Story Cottingley

    taken in 1917 and the controversy they caused as people were split down the middle of whether it was true or whether it was a fraud. The fact that even Arthur Conan Doyle was convined that they were real says something for how convincing two children with a bunch of cut-outs can be.

    The movie was entertaining but took a different approach in making the fairies real, which of course about had to be done in order for there to be a story for the movie. Has anybody here seen it?

    Coincidentally, the grandson of one of the girls (Elsie Wright) is the one who faked the famous Lock Ness Monster photo
