These stories are so very well done and a brilliant take on timeless fairy tales. It is so captivating for all generations. I watched these when I was younger and have so many fond memories from doing so. Now my children love them and are creating memories of their own! Highly recommend this to anyone that wants to escape reality for a few hours 🤗

One of the ultimate all-time Jim Henson classics. I loved it as a kid - and still enjoy it now as a parent. John Hurt is fantastic (as always). Each of the stories have a moral. I love that MY kids enjoy it as well.

Somehow, I'd never heard of this fantastic collection of short stories by the legendary Jim Henson. I stumbled onto the trailer by accident one day while watching Labyrinth. Intrigued by the premise of European folktales brought to life through the magic of Jim Henson's fantastic creature shop, I quickly hopped online to find a copy. Despite it being out of print I managed to find a copy for a reasonable price. I am glad I did because the series is nothing short of outstanding. Each episode is a self contained story (a la Twilight Zone) told by the great John Hurt who plays the titular storyteller. He is spellbinding in this role as his words literally spring to life through puppetry and some surprisingly good special effects. A word of warning: these stories are aimed at older children and teens as they are considerably more grim than much of the candy coated children's fare of today. I'd recommend parents watch this one with their kids to help explain the deeper meanings of the stories and aliviate any fear they may experience from the monsters or intense bits. It's a solid PG show content. Thus, if you like Labyrinth or The Dark Crystal or just want to expose your kids to something deeper and more mature, this show is a no brainer and you should try to hunt down a copy. Happy watching.

Just wanted a copy for my home. I watched them years ago and was afraid they were gone for good. They all are great!
