* SexinessScore: The ruling class claims that whoever is more beautiful than the king, queen or princess can take the respective royal's place, and specifically assigned servants hold regular measurements of people's beauty, ranking the results on a scale from one to hundred (the king allegedly rates one hundred and the queen ninety-nine). However, the entire measurement is a sham: right before Tatti's eyes, a gorgeous young woman is claimed to have a measure of only twelve, [[spoiler:and the king, queen and princess are eventually revealed to be UglyAllAlong]].

* InNameOnly: The movie adaptation retains some character names and plot elements, but places even these in an entirely different context. Instead of owning a tavern in the city, Aunt Beer Mug serves in the royal kitchen, the Great Gardener has a daughter called Miel, paralyzed from the waist down, etc.

''While the Clock Chimes'' (Russian: Пока бьют часы, Poka b'yut chasy) is a 1967 fairy tale by Sofia Prokofieva. It is set in a kingdom where all the royals and nobles wear magical caps that make them invisible, because they are so gorgeous that anyone who sees them will get blinded. The identity of an invisible can be determined by the smell of their perfume; for that purpose, a special Smell Keeper is entrusted with the perfume cupboard.

The identity of an invisible can be determined by the smell of their perfume; for that purpose, a special Smell Keeper is entrusted with the perfume cupboard.
However, the kingdom is getting poor, so the king hatches a plan to invade the neighboring country, and for that, he needs more caps to give to the army. For the caps, in turn, he needs a) the invisibility elixir b) a special sort of fabric. The first matter can be dealt with since Tseblion the Smell Keeper can brew the elixir, but the fabric can only be weaved by two brother weavers who refuse to do it, since they know it will be used to start a war.
Meanwhile, the weavers' little sister Tatti comes to the town, and by sheer ill luck, she is caught by the palace guards and ordered to wash the already existent caps that have gotten quite dirty and started to lose their magical properties. That’s when the whole mess really begins.
