Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Rectangular_businessman "The Storyteller" was a very important part of my childhood. Since I was a kid, I loved the way in which this series made a dark portrayal of fairy tales, in a sharp contrast with the colorful adaptations of such kind of stories I used to watch when I was a little kid.However, this series wasn't only dark, but it was also incredibly beautiful and captivating at the same time: In many ways, I think that it was thanks to this show that I started to appreciate the beauty of many other "dark" films and television shows that I saw in later years.Now that many so-called "dark" fairy tales have been released in the recent years (Like for example, that awful "Snow White and the Huntsman" and the "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters") I think that it would be good for young viewers to see a magical and inspiring series like this.10/10

skphotos2 its been years since i have seen these shows. i have been searching years for anyone else that has seen these or know anything about them. i thought i made them up. the one i remember most is the soldier and death. i'd ask movie fanatics if they had seen these, mentioning its a Jim Henson and people still didn't know. these are great fables. i was very young when i was these, not even 10 and it left a lasting impression on my life and beliefs. i would recommend anyone to watch these, just remember they are from the 80's so they don't look like the movies today. just give them a shot. Jim Henson was way ahead of his time and died to early.

pavta As many people already said - this series is a one of the nicest memories of my childhood. Honeltsly speaking, i hardly remember any content of stories today - 20 years later, but it's spooky and weird atmosphere are as alive and shivering like i watched it yesterday! There are only 4 things i remember in fact:1. the atmosphere 2. the face of the storyteller himself 3. the dog 4.the fact that it was the best children programme me and my friends ever watched. I will certainly get myself a DVD, put it on my "top 20 shelf", and watch it over and over again.

VLeung I wish I could remember more of this fabulous series. My memory is patchy, but I DO remember it being one of the most inventive, beautifully made and acted series ever shown on British television. It is insanity that they don't repeat
