Each one of these stories is literally hand crafted by the directors (some of them famous directors like Francis Ford Coppella) and Shelley Duvall to reflect a certain style — An example being the Sleeping Beauty tale was set in Russia with the sets and costumes designed to look like scenes from classic Russian motifs, the music from the Russian ballet — Another being the direct rip off of the classic Jean Cocteau film “Beauty and the Beast”.

All of these were designed with the intent of entertaining not only children but adults — Some of the best moments in these are only things that adults will understand — Christopher Reeve does a fantastic job in his multi-role part in “Sleeping Beauty” as does Malcolm McDowell as the Wolf in “Little Red Riding Hood” — McDowell infuses the character with a subtle dark sensuality — His chemistry with his then wife Mary Steenburgen is strong.

Probably the best one of all is the “Three Little Pigs” with Jeff Goldblum (as the Big Bad Wolf), Valerie Perrine (as a ravishing piglette), and Billy Crystal(as one of the three little pigs) — The writing in this one is completely off the wall as well as it should be — So enjoy with a loving heart and the mind of an innocent child.

I picked up this set today after having, unfortunately, to search numerous stores to find it. I already own the version released several years ago, and after sitting through several of the episodes in this set, I have to say, its MUCH better than the previous released set. Not only to you get a set of playing cards for the kids, there is a wonderful book which features a written synopsis of each show as well as air dates and several fun facts. The shows themselves look and sound wonderful. Much better picture and sound than on the previous release. The sound is in both 5.1 Surround and 2.0 Dolby Digital. Overall, if you have the previous set and have the money to spend, this is well worth the upgrade. If you missed it the first time around, this is THE set to pick up.
