DVD Reviews of Tall Tales & Legends - The Complete Series

DVD Review: Shelley goes All American!
Summary: 5 Stars

As a huge fan of Ms. Duvall's work on Faerie Tale Theatre, her second body of work, Tall Tales & Legends, took the same approach production wise and pointed her skills at tales of American Folklore.

Live-action and star-empowered, these tales are equally as enjoying for both young and old alike, as are the acclaimed Faerie Tale Theatre stories. Johnny Appleseed is my kids absolute fav (Martin Short as Johnny), but Casey at the Bat, John Henry... they all ad up to a wonderful body of work that interestingly plays beautifully in/around first and second grade when American Folklore is taught in the public schools (at least in our area it is). The Appleseed tale took my little girl from watching the show to wanting to, and successfully reading the tale to then... writing a little book report for her class.

Thank you Ms. Duvall, for playing a positive role in teaching my kid to read. Kudos again to you for your work.

PS: The upcoming release of Faerie Tale Theatre as a set that includes a book deserves TWO THUMBS UP, as they say. Watch them, read them. How well was THAT idea thought out??? Kudos to KOCH Vision for such great products for our children.

DVD Review: Classic Family Fun!
Summary: 4 Stars

These are classic tales told by and All-star cast! Perfect for teaching today's children all about American Folk Lore.

DVD Review: great work
Summary: 5 Stars

Shelley Duvall has given perhaps the best contemporary treatment to fairy tales in the last 100 years - no joke!
She has captured the true essence of the tales, and has not made them cheesy or expurgated the darker elements of the tales, like Disney always does.

DVD Review: Maybe Three and a half
Summary: 4 Stars

I've seen every episode of Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre and I like them. This isn't as quite as good, (It's 17 episodes shorter than SDFTT) but it's all right. There are four episodes I haven't seen in this seiries. I'm looking foward for it to come out. I think I wamt to preorder it. I also want to preorder I Love Lucy Season 5 and Disneyland Fun.
