Happily N'Ever After is a 2006 animated fantasy adventure comedy film directed by Paul J. Bolger, produced by John H. Williams, and written by Rob Moreland. It is inspired by fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen and loosely based on the 1999 animated German television series Simsala Grimm.[4][5] The title is the opposite of a stock phrase, happily ever after; the name is contracted with an apostrophe between the N and the E.

This film was one of Carlin's final works before he died.
