About the Show
Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics brings to
life the beloved stories every child grows up on. It includes
well-known tales such as
Snow White,
Rumpelstiltskin,
Hansel and Gretel, and
Little Red Riding Hood. Also present are some less
familiar fables, including
The Marriage of Mrs. Fox,
The Spirit in the Bottle,
The Magic Heart, and
The Hare and the Hedgehog (a rendition of
The Tortoise and the Hare). Each story is told in an
interesting and unique way; some of the details may be surprising
even to those who have heard the same story many times. And as
always, each "Once upon a time" ends happily ever after.
Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics, based on
the cherished fables by the brothers Grimm, began as an anime
series in Japan created by Nippon Animation Company. An English
version was produced by Saban Productions and aired in the U.S.
from 1989-1995 on Nickelodeon as part of the Nick Jr. lineup. The
series included thirty-six full episodes, each one a different
fairy tale
–
some of which were lengthy, so they
were divided into ongoing half-hour parts over several days.
Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics offers thoughtful and entertaining
versions of the classic stories enjoyed by people around the
globe.

Lyrics to the Theme Song:
Hey, come along and join the fun.
It's a time for fairy tales.
Magical kingdoms in the sun.
Come along, come along.
Meet friendly elves and witches too
In a world of fairy tales.
Enchanted castles wait for you.
Come along, come along.
To where life is a fantasy,
and every story ends so happily (giggles).
This is the place where dreams come
true.
A world of fairy tales for you.

About the DVDs
Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics is
available in a complete set of six DVDs containing all thirty-six
episodes from the TV series, plus bonus material available from The
Stuff I Like Site only. Each DVD has menus with sound for easy
selection of episodes. The set also includes a professional DVD
case featuring quality custom cover art and an episode list insert.
This set comes on DVD-R, which will play on almost all DVD
players as well as a computer with a DVD-ROM drive and appropriate
DVD-viewing software. I use only genuine top quality DVD-R media
from Verbatim, Sony, or TDK for maximum quality and
compatibility.
The quality ranges from
eight to nine out of ten (see the screen capture
links above for examples). This is
not the same six DVD set that is frequently sold on
auction sites. For one thing, the auction set is not even in true
DVD format; the video files are actually in VCD format transferred
onto DVDs. That's why the actual fairy tales take up only slightly
over three out of six discs with miscellaneous shows filling up the
rest, while mine take up a full five discs with only the sixth
dedicated to bonus material. The auction discs' quality is
inferior, and because they are not true DVDs, it is more likely
that DVD players will be unable to play them. However, my set is in
true DVD format and the episode quality is vastly superior. The
files take up more space because of higher quality encoding. You
will not find a better collection anywhere. Take a look at the
following examples:

These are screen captures from the DVD
set I purchased on eBay. Many of the episodes suffer from the
problems you see above. The video source is very degraded,
resulting in washed out, yellow, or otherwise distorted coloration
and picture.
|
The above screen captures are taken
from my set. Using better sources, I was able to achieve great
improvement in quality in over half of the episodes and moderate
improvement in the rest.

All discs are checked to be in perfect working
condition before they are shipped, but in the unlikely event that
any disc is damaged during shipping or not functioning properly,
you may return the faulty disc(s) and I will replace them for free.
Due to the nature of these discs (in that they can be copied
relatively easily) and the fact that the price you pay is for time

If you do have any problems with the
discs or need a replacement, I'm always available to help out and
answer any questions you may have.
