Nine segments, at 4:30 length each, aired on children's TV network KIKA beginning on December 13, 2011. The segments star Ernie and Bert in classic fairy tales, often in drag, with some help from Sesamstrasse friends and stock animal characters (including Finchen and Wolf). Each segment features a new original song. A new set of fairy tales was produced in 2013 for a fall release, again in conjunction with a new set of Ernie & Bert Songs.
