Has anyone here seen the old show "The Storyteller."  It was great.

It was this nine episode Jim Henson show. Every episode had this guy telling these  fairy tales that were basically modified Grimm's Fairy Tales.  It used a bunch of cool puppets, art and weird illusions. It was amazing!!!  And there was no CQI in it at all!

I had forgotten the name but yeah I think I did see that! Did one involve this model of a dragon type thing in a school or something that this kid ended up talking to - like it came to life?

I know "The Storyteller"... watched all of the episodes (I think there were only about 8 of them) and the one about greek myths as well (different storyteller but with the same dog)  ;)

B'rrr

isn't that a realy old serie? ('85-'90 or so?) ...I think I remember it, have seen it when I was very small, nice serie.... for that time ; )

It came out in the 80's.  The Storyteller was an excellent (and short-lived) series.  You can bet I'm picking that up on DVD.

Also, did you know they are making a live-action version of The Last Unicorn?  I can't wait!  Angela Lansbury is playing Mama Fortuna again - now she's actually old enough to really play her, not just voice her :D.  I love that cartoon!  I hope they make it in the style of Legend or Labyrinth or Dark Crystal.  One thing I must say for the fantasy movies of the 80's, they were beautiful!  We really don't have anything like that anymore.

I heard they're also making a live-action version of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Yay!

Although, I think I remember hearing about some British TV-Movie type live-action versions of the first three books that were made a while back. Too bad the tapes/DVDs prolly wouldn't run on my equipment, that would be neat to see.

I saw that British production of the Narnia Chronicles ;D
I don't think it covered all of the books - either it didn't have "The Magician's Nephew", "The Horse And His Boy" and "The Last Battle", or those episodes weren't aired here :-\
I see why they wouldn't want to include "The Last Battle" though... that book was so depressing.

Yeah, a couple of the movies drag on a bit, ah well. At least the books are always good. ;)
