5.0 out of 5 stars A great compilation of classic mixed up tales, March 21, 2006

This review is from: The Best of Fractured Fairy Tales, Volume One (DVD)

Fractured Fairy Tales are not only fantastic classic toons, but they're also great for use in a high school english classroom to illustrate narrative elements! Pair it with the companion book (Fractured Fairy Tales, A.J. Jacobs) with 25 tales for even more fun. I just purchased this disc from Amazon and have enjoyed rewatching these great shorts from my childhood. I couldn't find a list of the included episodes anywhere before purchasing, so here's the rundown in case you're wondering too! The disk includes these 15 episodes:

* Rapunzel
* The Brave Little Tailor
* Rumpelstiltskin
* Cinderella
* Snow White
* Sleeping Beauty
* Pinocchio
* Ridinghoods Anonymous
* The Ugly Duckling
* Cinderella Returns
* Rumpelstiltskin Returns
* Leaping Beauty
* The Enchanted Frog
* The Pied Piper
* The Magic Fish

The disk also has some nifty Bullwinkle puppet intros as a bonus, as well as a cute case and menu theme.

3.0 out of 5 stars Flawed DVD menus- Great content, February 3, 2006

If you're reading this, you know the Jay Ward's Fractured Fairy Tales are terrific and funny. Unfortunately, this compilation disk is flawed. The VERY irritating menu demands that you sit through too horrible trailers for terrible kid's movies before you can get to the main menu. They won't even fast forward or skip to main menu. Why would Sony insist on this very Disney-like irritation. What would Jay Ward think? This disk is for collector's, not brain-dead children who want to watch "Frosty the Sequel". The disk also has menu problems once you get to the main menu. I've contacted Sony and hopefully they will fix the problem.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good videos -- lousy DVD, July 6, 2008

This review is from: The Best of Fractured Fairy Tales, Volume One (DVD)

The material is great, but I can't recommend this DVD because its programming is so irritating. The viewer is forced to sit through several tedious previews for some truly unimpressive children's videos. Attempting to fast forward or skip to the next item is produces the message "Operation Prohibited By Disc." This is unforgivable.
