Editorial Reviews

Review

"Our audiences loved it. Kids hissed at the witch and shouted 'do it' as Gretel hesitated before pushing her into the oven...Excellent for stimulating talk about scary feelings and things. Great for mask-making, dramatizations, and mime. A four-star film for all ages." --"More Films Kids Like" by Gerry Laybourne and Maureen Gaffney

Review

"(Bearskin) has the pungently bleak and chilly look of The Conqueror Worm or The Wicker Man or one of those other bleaky-chilly British horror pictures...but it's playfully creepy rather than horrific...except for one or two abrupt exits, it is a model of short filmmaking, suitable for imaginative children and not so innocuous as to bore adults." --Tom Shales, The Washington Post, June 30, 1984

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical. These short films will captivate you., January 11, 2007

I remember seeing Bearskin on PBS as a child. It is solely responsible for my lifelong love of Grimm's fairy tales. Davenport's interpretation of these classic tales is bar none, the best I have ever seen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent in every way., April 7, 2008

By	Kevin P. Abbott (Minnesota USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I originally saw two of the three movies on PBS and enjoyed them very much. The acting portrays the stories in a very professional way. I am very happy to have found them to purchase. Thank you.
