I am big fan Czech and Czechoslovakian fairy tales. I think that the most interesting series are movies entitled "Fantaghiro", although it is Italian-Czech cooproduction. I know that there are Czech actors too.
In my opinion, Czech fairy tales are very good, but main problem is no English dubbing often, so it is hard to watch it no knowledge of Czech language. I am Polish and I understand Czech language as well, but I reckon Czech fairy tales are underrated definitely.
My favourite movies connected with this genre:
"Zlatovláska" ["Golden-Haired"] (1973)
"Zlatník Ondra" ["Goldsmith Ondra"] (1995)
"Dítě hvězdy" ["Child of the star"] (2007) - fairy-tale created by Oscar Wilde and it is Czech movie adaption
"Little Otik" comes to mind.

Juraj Herz did a version of "Beauty and the Beast" that has a lot of fans. Nice-looking bird beast, as I recall.

Eastern European countries in general did a lot of fairy tale adaptations in the 50s-70s. Good stuff.
i'm a fan of just about any older fairy tale movie, but my faves are definitely the czech and russo-finnish movies.
