In this astonishingly star-studded animated version of the traditional tale, Goldilocks (Raven-Symone of TV's The Cosby Show) is a black girl from a tropical village whose way of life boils down to doing what she wants without thinking of the consequences. She gets her customary comeuppance, of course, but not before she has incriminated her fellow students for something she did and alienated all her friends. As she wanders through the forest playing hooky, she meets a spider (Jenifer Lewis), a snake (Ben Vereen), and a bat (Lou Rawls) who warn her in song, but the musical trio cannot divert her from her fateful encounter with the three bears (Tone Loc, Alfre Woodard, David Alan Grier). This 25-minute production narrated by Robert Guillaume has a Caribbean flavor to its music, background, and references. (When their food is too hot, the bear family takes a minibus to a reggae concert.) This delightful interpretation of the classic is part of HBO's Happily Ever After series.
