4.0 out of 5 stars four enchanting FTT favourites!, August 29, 2009

Collected here in this double-DVD set are four of the most beloved stories from Shelley Duvall's FAERIE TALE THEATRE series. Sit back with your family and watch as some of the most talented actors--Lesley Ann Warren, Vanessa Redgrave, Joan Collins and John Lithgow among them--act out these fairytale classics!

SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS:
Elizabeth McGovern is luminous in the title role of Snow White. Her acting is very understated and she perfectly captures the innocence and bewilderment of the character. Vanessa Redgrave offers a tour-de-force performance as the Wicked Queen, who dons several magical disguises to ensnare our heroine. Rex Smith gives us a Prince who is handsome yet goofy (a refreshing change), and Vincent Price is a delight as both the Magic Mirror and Narrator. Series creator Shelley Duvall has a brief role as Snow White's mother during the prologue.

THE DANCING PRINCESSES:
The daughters of a widowed King (Roy Dotrice) somehow wear out their dance-slippers every night despite being locked in their room until morning. The secret is not discovered until a crafty soldier (Peter Weller) follows them and finds that they go dancing in a fairy-kingdom under the ground...

GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS:
Tatum O'Neal is Goldilocks, the ultimate child-brat, who happens upon the 'deserted' house belonging to 3 bears. After helping herself to their porridge and breaking Cubby Bear's chair, she goes to sleep in his bed. When the bears return, she gets scared away...but not for long!...

HANSEL AND GRETEL:
Young Hansel and Gretel (Rick Schroder and Bridgette Andersen) are abandoned in the forest by their cruel stepmother (Joan Collins). The children happen across a magical cottage entirely made of gingerbread and sweets, which is owned by an evil witch...
