1.0 out of 5 stars Edited for "no pleasure"., July 5, 2008
This review is from: Fairy Tales (DVD)
I was on a Charles Band DVD bender when I came across this title. It was too bad I wasn't paying more attention to the details. This DVD release has an unfortunate "R" rating. So, when I began to watch the film I noticed when it came up to the good scenes, all the action was left out. This unfortunately left the rest of the film lacking all positive quality. Since the story isn't the selling point of the feature. My suggestion is, you should avoid this DVD release, if at all possible. But, if you are desperately looking for this title. Don't be fooled, you should hunt for a higher rating!

A film for the whole family. The kids will like the songs and Dad will like the meat. Best when watched while drunk.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dated and Silly, February 20, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fairy Tales (DVD)
I bought this video because it co-starred Linnea Quigley who I had recently seen in "Return of the Living Dead." I shouldn't have been disappointed by this film, since it was made in 1979 and started with a particularly silly premise, but I was.

This film is an attempt to blend "the musical" with "porn." It further "breaks new ground" by following a virginal teenage prince through his exploits in fairy tale land in search of the one woman who can arouse him. Along the way, he meets various amorous female fairy tale protagonists who are eager to seduce him. They usually do this by shedding a little clothing during a song and dance, but fail to close the deal.

To me, this kind of song and dance was reminiscent of a grade school tap dance play that might involve lollipops. More specifically, it was cutesy and not-at-all erotic. It seemed inappropriate and in poor taste... which some people may say is implicit in any porn. In this case, however, I can't imagine why this type of inappropriateness or poor taste would stimulate anyone. I expected (and would have preferred) to see a darker interpretation of fairy tales -- something less child-like and more adult.

Comparing it to other porn, this is very tame. There is nudity, but nothing explicit. The girls are attractive in a 1960's sort of way... most of them more round than a contemporary person would consider sexy. Makeup and hairstyles are severely dated. Production values are great by 1979 standards, but also severely dated.

I don't like musicals to begin with, nor do I usually like older movies, so this film stood little chance of pleasing me. However, I've met a few people who enjoyed this film "back in the day" and enjoyed seeing it again. This was definitely in the "higher budget" bracket of the porn industry during its era.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good music scores., July 11, 1999
By A Customer
Nice musical numbers by Sy Richardson and soul singer Professor Irwin Corey, and it has all the characters you can imagine in a Fairy Tale. Except this one is not recommended for children because of being restricted due to all the nude graphics. Hardly carries a plot, but not the worst of it's kind. This is scream queen Linnea Quigley's first film even though her role doesn't appear until close to the end of the movie.

3.0 out of 5 stars FAIRY "TAILS", May 29, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fairy Tales (DVD)
Fairy Tales is a marginally entertaining movie best viewed on a REALLY boring day or after armageddon, whichever comes first.

A young charm and charisma-free prince, the son of Old King Cole, is booted from the castle to search for a bride and the bride had better be a virgin. Good luck with that, pal. That's it. The entire movie in a nutshell.

I enjoy this piece of tripe about once every five years or so, or when I pretend yesterday was Armageddon as the movie is extremely low, low budget, washed out colors, tacky sets and no actors in sight with a script written by a chimpanzee at a typewriter BUT the film has one saving grace. Full frontal nudity and buckets of it. Trust me you will never think the same about Little Bo Peep looking for her sheep the same again. And the movie is a musical so little Bo Peep does a tap dance in only her tap shoes and little else singing about her missing sheep.

I do not recommend this movie because of its poor production values but I guess I have to admit, Mother Nature has contributed a huge "natural" value, with enough left over to make a bare-skin rug.

1.0 out of 5 stars It's not Cinderella, September 3, 2008
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fairy Tales (DVD)
I just bought this because it's the "companion" to Cinderella. At least the actors are the same. That's where the simalarity ends. The only good thing about this flick was it was cheap. My advice, save your money & put it towards the overpriced Cinderella.

4.0 out of 5 stars not for your kids, November 28, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fairy Tales (DVD)
this is a film I watched a long time ago when I was a teenager staying up late night on showtime. this is a b-movie in the fact that b-movies are low budget film with a sucky storyline bad acting and the only thing that makes it worth watching is plenty of nudity and sex and violence. we this one dosnt have the violence but does have the nudity and a little sex. so think of this movie as being a rauncy fairy tales. the people in it arent well know at least not to me. the only person of interest is the late angela aames. very pretty girl with a nice bod most would probaly know her from the old film bachler party she whas the girl at the beggenning of the film getting her son's picture taken. good scene even without the nudity. but anyway a good film if you a movie hound/ perv like myself. and if you want to c more of angela aames who died before her time. but you can also c her in the movie H.O.T.S good movie for people that like hot college girls playing football.

2.0 out of 5 stars Amazon should let us know, April 12, 2011
This review is from: Fairy Tales (DVD)
If a movie has been edited of all its good parts (nudity) it should not have a rating of R in the first place. Before you go there... I'm not counting bad language as a reason to give a movie an R rating. Even so, if Amazon knows or is told about this... they should demand a disclaimer from the producers on that the movie stating that the movie has been edited of original content and refund payment no questions asked when returned for this reason. That goes for all movies that are sold (for example:[[ASIN:B000VL7VEQ Killing Heat (1981)]this version is heavily edited but still has an R rating.) According to "Mildenhell", This version of Fairy Tales is an example of this happening and I for one, would like to know this information before I buy a movie.
