Product Description
Dramatic, humorous and star filled feature length stories bring four classic fairy tales back to life as seen on BBC1. Including Rapunzel, Cinderella, The Empress's New Clothes and Billy Goat.

Synopsis
In the style of the BBC's hugely successful SHAKESPEARE RETOLD series sees four classic fairy tales get given the modernising-treatment to become present-day morality tales (with tongue firmly in cheek of course!). RAPUNZEL, CINDERELLA, THE EMPRESS'S NEW CLOTHES and BILLY GOAT all feature a wealth of British acting, writing and directing talent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Entertainment, 6 Feb 2008
By J. Gray (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I loved all four of these brilliantly written and acted adaptations. I couldn't believe the cast in this series, how did they get all these actors together? Light and funny to watch with great references to the traditional tales - can't wait for the dvd.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, 3 Feb 2008
Four wonderful adaptations of Fairy Tales which I loved. A great cast and some fantastic performances, Maxine Peake and James Nesbitt in Cinderella were stunning, I could watch this time and time again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fairy Tales, 27 Feb 2009
Four very different versions of traditional Fairy Stories. A very entertaining quartet which I am so glad I bought.
