Summary: Corny at times...
Review: Call me stupid, but I just recently found out that these movies are done in a "play" style. Even so, parts of this movie are semi-irritating. The intro from Shelley Duvall is just pointless, but I don't consider that in my review. What keeps this from being 5 stars is the singing prince. My sister and I had this movie, and would bust out laughing whenever he popped up, "hoo-oo-oo-oo, thank you ery much...fruit woman." I had the oppurtunity to view this recently, and I thought everything in it was excellent except for the actor who played the Prince. Vanessa Redgrave is always amazing, as expected, but Elizabeth McGovern surprised me with how genuine she was as Snow White. I also LOVED the dwarfs, they made the movie great.

Summary: The Old Days
Review: For the record,I am currently 22 years of age. I wanted to share this little tidbit with anyone who might be interested in this series. From the time I was around 4 years old, every sunday my mother and I would buy a bunch of junk food, lay around the house, and watch Faerie Tale Theatre. At the time, my mother was single and working. We didn't have enough money to buy a VCR but at the time, you could rent VCR's at the video store along with your movies. So everytime a new movie from Faerie Tale Theatre came out we'd hit the video store and have one of our special days. A little sentimental, I understand, but it's something I won't forget. Its been a VERY long time since I got to watch one but I still remember and have my favorites. I recomend these videos for all the little ones out there and for parents who want to share something special with their child. Thank you.

Summary: A SNOW WHITE FOR EVERYONE
Review: I am a big fan of the Faerie Tale Theatre series. This film is one of my absolute favorites. Vanessa Redgrave gives a wonderfully over the top performance as the wicked and vengeful queen. Elizabeth McGovern is a kind and gentle Snow White and Vincent Price is unforgettable as the Magic Mirror. These films are great for kids because there is all of the wonderment of fairy tales. They are especially entertaining for adults because there is some crude humor in them that will have the older folks laughing. As far as the production, the music is beautiful and the sets are wonderful. Everything about these films is based after the theatre, as if you were watching a play. Very entertaining and intriguing films that will create memories to last a lifetime. If you've seen these movies then you understand how special they are. It was great to see actors and actresses before they became big and had a little fun in these great films!!!!! I recommend these films to anyone who wants to be whisked away to another time and place or to anyone who wants to have a little laugh. A+

Summary: FAERIE TALE THEATRE at it's height
Review: This is one of the best entries in the fabulous FAERIE TALE THEATRE series, with a superb cast and haunting music score.

Elizabeth McGovern is luminous in the title role of Snow White. Her acting is very understated and she perfectly captures the innocence and bewilderment of the character. Vanessa Redgrave offers a tour-de-force performance as the Wicked Queen, who dons several magical disguises to ensnare our heroine. Rex Smith gives us a Prince who is handsome yet goofy (a refreshing change), and Vincent Price is a delight as both the Magic Mirror and Narrator. Series creator Shelley Duvall has a brief role as Snow White's mother during the prologue.

Sharp direction by Peter Medak and a brilliant, haunting musical score round out the package. This is FAERIE TALE THEATRE at it's height.
