About the Show

Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics brings to life the beloved stories every child grows up on. It includes well-known tales such as Snow White, Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel and Gretel, and Little Red Riding Hood. Also present are some less familiar fables, including The Marriage of Mrs. Fox, The Spirit in the Bottle, The Magic Heart, and The Hare and the Hedgehog (a rendition of The Tortoise and the Hare). Each story is told in an interesting and unique way; some of the details may be surprising even to those who have heard the same story many times. And as always, each "Once upon a time" ends happily ever after.

Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics, based on the cherished fables by the brothers Grimm, began as an anime series in Japan created by Nippon Animation Company. An English version was produced by Saban Productions and aired in the U.S. from 1989-1995 on Nickelodeon as part of the Nick Jr. lineup. The series included thirty-six full episodes, each one a different fairy tale – some of which were lengthy, so they were divided into ongoing half-hour parts over several days. Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics offers thoughtful and entertaining versions of the classic stories enjoyed by people around the globe.

Lyrics to the Theme Song:

Hey, come along and join the fun.
It's a time for fairy tales.
Magical kingdoms in the sun.
Come along, come along.

Meet friendly elves and witches too
In a world of fairy tales.
Enchanted castles wait for you.
Come along, come along.

To where life is a fantasy,
and every story ends so happily (giggles).

This is the place where dreams come true.
A world of fairy tales for you.

About the DVDs

Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics is available in a complete set of six DVDs containing all thirty-six episodes from the TV series, plus bonus material available from this web site only. Each DVD has menus with sound for easy selection of episodes. The set also includes a professional DVD case featuring quality custom cover art and an episode list insert.

This set comes on DVD-R, which will play on most DVD players as well as a computer with a DVD-ROM drive and appropriate DVD-viewing software. I use only genuine top quality DVD-R media from Verbatim, and occasionally Sony or TDK, for maximum quality and compatibility.

The quality ranges from eight to nine out of ten (see the screen capture links above for examples). This is not the same six DVD set that is frequently sold on auction sites. For one thing, the auction set is not even in true DVD format; the video files are actually in VCD format transferred onto DVDs. That's why the actual fairy tales take up only slightly over three out of six discs with miscellaneous shows filling up the rest, while mine take up a full five discs with only the sixth dedicated to bonus material. The auction discs' quality is inferior, and because they are not true DVDs, it is more likely that DVD players will be unable to play them. However, my set is in true DVD format and the episode quality is vastly superior. The files take up more space because of higher quality encoding. You will not find a better collection anywhere. Take a look at the following examples:

My Set

These are screen captures from the DVD set I purchased on eBay. Many of the episodes suffer from the problems you see above. The video source is very degraded, resulting in washed out, yellow, or otherwise distorted coloration and picture.

The above screen captures are taken from my set. Using better sources, I was able to achieve great improvement in quality in over half of the episodes and moderate improvement in the rest.

Return Policy

All discs are checked to be in perfect working condition before they are shipped, but in the unlikely event that any disc is damaged during shipping or not functioning properly, you may return the faulty disc(s) and I will replace them for free. Due to the nature of these discs (in that they can be copied relatively easily) and the fact that the price you pay is for time and materials, I do not issue refunds, only replacements. This is why it is important to read all the information I have provided, and make sure that you understand what a DVD-R is and whether your DVD player will be able to play DVD-R before you order.

If you do have any problems with the discs or need a replacement, I'm always available to help out and answer any questions you may have.
