Lynde1980 I remember watching Faerie Tale Theatre as a child and in my opinion some of them were awesome and some were OK. I remember my parents renting them for me and my brother and watching them on TV. I watched all of them as a child, but only a few stuck in my mind over the years. My favorites: Rapunzel, Rumplestiltskin, Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel & Gretel, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Three Little Pigs, Jack and the Beanstalk & Pinocchio.I liked the other tales as well, but we all have our favorites. The actors are amazing. This show came out when I was two years old and I didn't know who any of these actors were. I just loved watching them. Looking back, all of the stars were very well known at that time and today, some are still famous, while others sadly died but are legends we will never forget.I have to admit that the special effects and props are a little cheesy. They didn't have the special effects and technology back in the early 80's that we have today but everyone involved in this classic series did an amazing job making all of the tales come to life. This didn't stop me from enjoying them as a child and now as an adult.I was in shock to find out that all twenty six episodes were released in a DVD collectors set last year. I just had to have them for me and for my unborn child due this summer. I am glad that I came across this set. Now I can enjoy them again and I hope my child enjoys them as much as I did one day. If you get a chance and want to get a taste of your childhood, watch them. If not, I think you are missing out. Enjoy!!

Britt M. I remember watching these when I was younger, my grandma who worked at a library at the time often took the VHS's of them out for me.When watching these movies I often get a warm fuzzy feeling, a feeling of content. They are the kind of movies that you would sit down and watch in front of a fire place with a nice cup of hot chocolate and a blanket. These movies bring the stories to life. I often watch re-runs of them on the book channel, or watch the videos I own.I would suggest watching these movies if your sick of the hustle and bustle of Hollywood movies.If your tired of the hardcore action movies or horror flicks tune in to these.

flatula "The Tale of the Frog Prince" starring Robin Williams, Teri Garr, and Michael Richards (directed by Eric Idle of Monty Python fame), is hands-down the best of the series, with its sharp humor and Maxfield Parrish backgrounds. "Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp" starring James Earl Jones, Robert Carradine, Valerie Bertinelli, and Leonard Nimoy (directed by Tim Burton) is great as well. Most public libraries have the entire series.

TheSoupNazi If there was one television series that I could give an award to, this would be it. It was one of the most outstanding show i've ever seen. It came on when I was little, but as I grew older I still loved the show because of it's great actors. After watching it constantly on PBS, I taped all of the episodes when they became re-runs on the Disney Channel. If they ever do become re-runs again, i highly encourage everyone to watch it. You won't be disappointed.
