Stars in Fairy Tales

Is anyone familiar with the series Faerie Tale Theatre? It is a collection of performances of fairy tales starring really good actors, including Bernadette Peters playing Sleeping Beauty in one of the episodes. I hear they just came out on DVD. Has anybody else seen this series?

Billy Crystal in Three Little Pigs.

Loved the series.

It's all on DVD now, thank God.

I think we watched the Sleeping Beauty episode in my theatre class. Bernadette Peters was in it, but I don't think she was Sleeping Beauty. Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong thing, though.

This was one an awesome series. It took me a long time to get them all on VHS - and now they release it on DVD? *sigh* I'm glad they did though....thanks for the link.

Whenever I think of John Lithgow, he will always be Tatum O'Neil's father in The Three Bears. Always.

but I do recall that one had some rather adult moments in it for a children's show!

Boy you aren't kidding!!! I'm a teacher, and during our "Fairy Tale" unit I brought up some of my movies to show. It had been so long since I'd seen them (and I should have screened first) --but I figured they were safe. However, there were some adult moments in many of them! Luckily, it went over their heads. I went home and went through several trying to find one that didn't have some rather adult humor and didn't have much luck.....

It took you a long time to get them on VHS. Wow! I could tell you such a story. So many sorted details. So many games. Suffice it to say it wasn't pretty. It never is when people turn out to be a disappointment.
