Short, But Quality Production

In this installment of the Faerie Tale Theatre, there is a good balance between humor and drama that make it on of the better episodes of the series.

Guest stars include Ned Beatty, Shelley Duvall, & Herve "De plane, de plane" Villechaize.

A wonderful re-telling of the classic children's tale, this one is quite short (only about 37 minutes). The kiddies will love it though!
