Faerie Tale Theatre - Goldilocks And The Three Bears [DVD]

This was one of my favorites, when I was growing up. It's funny, entertaining and one of my favorite fairy tales of all time. If you like the story books, you'll love the movie just as much or maybe even more. I love and own most of The Faerie Tale Theatere movies and this one I've been searching for quite some time. I found it and bought it on Amazon.com

Classic

Love it!!!!!!

I own the whole Faerie Tale Theatre Set, my favorite tale!!!

This was the first time I had ever seen Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and I loved every minute of it! I loved Tatum O'Neal-she was perfectly cast in the role of Goldilocks. The rest of the cast was equally strong as well.

SPOILERS FOLLOWFaerie Tale Theatre's variation of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" never captured my admiration as completely as many of the other titles in the series. For starters, the original tale is so sparse that Shelley Duvall and her creative staff really beef it up, with decidedly mixed results.In this version, Tatum O'Neal's Goldilocks has parents, played with clever wit by Carole King and John Lithgow. King and Lithgow are fine performers, but their characters are simultaneously rote caricatures and the most interesting contributions to the story. I almost feel bad for the bears, played by Alex Karras, Brandis Kemp, and Donovan Scott, because their storyline is so contrived and uninteresting. Acting as a wraparound narrator and an active character in the story, the late Hoyt Axton uses his gruff but kind persona as a concerned lawman looking out(and on the lookout), for the troublesome but good-hearted Goldilocks.Ultimately, this is an uninspired contribution to the series, largely redeemed by nice casting in what just barely escapes being cameo appearances by John Lithgow and Carole King. Still, the meat of this adaptation is a boring mess.

It's ok.
