    Every episode of Faerie Tale Theatre, a children's TV program created by Shelley Duvall, is included in this collector's set, featuring lush, live-action adaptations of classic fairy tales. A Showtime cable television staple from 1982 to 1987, the series consistently drew a vast array of prestigious collaborators, including directors Tim Burton and Francis Ford Coppola; award-winning actors Robin Williams James Earl Jones, and Susan Sarandon; and even musicians such as Mick Jagger and Frank Zappa. This remarkable collection includes imaginative re-tellings of "Beauty and the Beast," "Hansel and Gretel," "Pinocchio," and over 20 others. From the Studio

    March 30, 2009: These are our absolute all-time favorite videos. I can't say enough about how much our whole family enjoys these fairy tales brought to life with the most talented actors portraying these sometimes funny, sometimes sad, sometimes just plain entertaining little fairy tale characters. Among our favorites are The Three Little Pigs and The Snow Queen. I used to rent these almost every weekend when they were on VHS when our daughters were very young. They would beg to watch them and the little comments that were made by the actors were sometimes only comments that the adults watching would catch the meaning of that would make them more enjoyable and humourous for us while watching as well.

    I Also Recommend: Enchanted.

    December 15, 2008: For those interested, the KOCH Vision release of Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre arrives on 9/2/08. The 26 Classic Live Action shows are accompanied by "the missing" episode entitled "The Best Moments of Faerie Tale Theatre", but more commonly known as "Grimm Party".

    All episodes have been digitally restored and the 7 disk collection also includes a 112-page book developed from original production notes representing short-story versions of all of the tales. This book includes an introduction by series producer Bridgette Terry.

    Additionally, the set includes a multi-game game based on a deck of cards. Memory Match and Faerie Tale Theatre trivia can be played along with any standard card game one can think of, thus adding incredible dimension to the purchase...

    27 episodes 112 pages of bedtime reading hours and hours of family game play....WOW...

    This set is the one fans have been waiting for and my kudos to KOCH for putting it all together!!!!

    By the way...the absolutely stunning box includes a gold-foil-stamped castle on the front.

    I won't get into the content here, for the content is undeniably fantastic and everyone knows that. This is an incredible collection for young and old alike.

    It's a faerie tale come true!!
