slothfrog7 So I used to watch this as a kid, just like all of you, and I loved each and every one of them (my personal favorite being The Dancing Princesses.I am now a sophomore in college, and when I found out about the DVDs my friend and I bought them.Now... we watch them for the unbelievably blatant sexual references that we so clearly did not get when we were kids. I mean really...Examples:Sleeping Beauty:"Use your mouth!" ... and then they get to sloppy second A little mini Dr. Ruth in a chest that teaches the king and queen how to have sex??? "Charity Starts.. right here", pointing to her scantily clad selfRapunzel:"I want Radishes!" "Are you sure you wouldn't like a nice cucumber instead?" as he leans over in bedLittle Red Riding Hood:The explanation of carving the wood/chopping it down... I don't even want to describe it.I know there are more, but I'm tired and have homework to do. I just wanted to see if we were the only ones who found the sexual nature of this series so entertaining.That, and the fact that Shelley Duvall was clearly on acid the entire time she made these.

katie_l_beach Other reviews seem to focus on the odd ones that follow the original fairy tale instead of the pop-culture, animated versions. This series was a great showcase for comic actors like Robin Williams as the frog prince or Billy Crystal as one of the 3 little pigs. One of my favorites casts Leonard Nemoy as the evil Vizeer and James Earl Jones as the Genie in Aladdin. I also like Cinderella, Jack and the Bean Stalk, the Princess and the Pea, and the Tale of the Dancing Princesses. As a kid I never even knew how famous some of the performers were, and there were others who were Fairy Tale Theatre regulars who I would recognize to this day. Funny, magical entertainment for kids and adults.

Collinator54 This is a very well done videos each are done tastfully. The show was on a low budget but it still shines with beauty. Each show takes you to a place u have never been and makes u feel like a child again. The best ones are Cinderella,Snow White, and The Snow Queen. They released them on video and now they are out of print and very hard to find legally.If u find one u have a treasure!

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.
