Fantasy is a genre that uses magic and other supernatural forms as a primary element of plot, theme, and/or setting. The genre is generally distinguished from science fiction and horror by overall look, feel, and theme of the individual work, though there is a great deal of overlap between the three (collectively known as speculative fiction). In its broadest sense, fantasy comprises works by many writers, artists, filmmakers, and musicians, from ancient myths and legends to many recent works embraced by a wide audience today.

The genre of fantasy does not usually include children's stories about characters such as Frosty the Snowman, nor does it include sexual fantasy; fantasy fiction may include sexual themes, but must have some element of fantasy other than the fantastic endowment and endurance of the characters.
