4.0 out of 5 stars Johnny Appleseed - A Good Folk Tale for the Whole Family, July 12, 2005

This review is from: Shelley Duvall's Tall Tales & Legends - Johnny Appleseed (DVD)

Tall Tales and Legends is by Fairie Tale Theatre's Shelley Duvall. They take all of the old fables told to you when you were young, and bring them to life, with lots of 80's movie stars.

Johnny Appleseed stars Martin Short as the title character, who goes around planting America's apple orchards. Its got a good message, that even someone weird shouldn't be shunned, they could actually help you out! It also has Rob Reiner, Molly Ringwald and Michael McKean.

The bad thing I find with the Tall Tales series is the sound... I don't watch it in the media room with the sound system, I find it works better in the den on my plain old TV. There's alot of background noise that can get distracting. So no the sound and picture aren't perfect, but these are low-price family videos, so over-all they are a good deal!

I watched this with my 3rd grade class and I loved it! It is very funny and sarcastic and the kids loved it too.

This review is from: Shelley Duvall's Tall Tales & Legends - Johnny Appleseed (DVD)

I purchased this video for my daughter to use in her first grade class. This was way over their heads. This needs to be rated for upper elementary grades who I am not sure actually study Johnny Appleseed. I will probably donate it to the school or sell it, what a disappointment.
