Yar, you be here: Jim Henson's The Storyteller - Greek Myths > Customer Reviews Jim Henson's The Storyteller - Greek Myths Customer Reviews (1 - 3 of 13 Reviews)The best seat by the fire is reserved for the Storyteller
This series of traditional and classical stories was broadcast when our children were young. It made wonderful viewing then and it now has a timeless quality that only the best crafted programmes can achieve. My daughter is now in her late teens. She requested the complete set of Storyteller DVDs for Christmas and has enjoyed revisiting each and every story. Maybe she will keep them for her children in the way people keep books for generations. Wonderful way to keep the stories alive
Theseus, Perseus, Orpheus, Daedalus - I'd really rather hear a kid talking about these guys than Pikachu or Kim Possible. Okay, maybe it won't happen, but not for lack of an entertaining, well-made presentation. These are truly enjoyable. Jim Henson's crew has put together an outstanding made-for-TV series. They play with the lines between puppetry and costume, with bits of animation thrown in, though not as much as in Dark Crystal or Labyrinth. There's plenty of drama, too, maybe a bit much for the very youngest children. These stories, in their day, were for adults, though. I'm glad to see that they haven't been disneyfied into inanity. I have to admit, I liked the DVD of fairy tales from The Storyteller better. These are good, though, and a great way to bring old stories to today's new media. //wiredweird entertaining but...
I enjoyed this movie alot, mainly because I've been interested in the greek myths since I was a kid. For my kids this was a pretty scary movie, especially the minotaur. I would not recommend it for little ones. Plus, it was a lot shorter than the other Storyteller DVD.
