    theD

    Possibly Henson's most brilliant creation.

    The Storyteller is excellent on so many levels. It tells fables or fairy tales from a variety of cultural sources and "universalizes" them somewhat for people who don't understand the particular cultural context. It's filmatic techniques are fantastic, such as the many clever segues from scene to scene. And, the creature effects are still better than anything anyone else has tried to do. The entire series is a testament to the creative genius of Jim Henson that has, unfortunately, been lost with him.

    Best thing you'll ever see

    Series as a whole - Jim Henson's best work. John Hurt *is* the Storyteller. Often Oscar-caliber screenplays, not surprising when you consider Minghella doing the writing. Oscar-caliber acting, always.

    Sapsorrow - Everybody loves 'The Soldier and Death,' but something about 'Sapsorrow' pushes it an iota higher in my favor. In the first ballroom scene, the costumes, the music - perfection. Hurt and the dog typically semi-interact with the story, but this time Minghella pushes it up that extra notch in the 'ring' scene between Hurt and Sapsorrow. The chemistry between characters is especially well-developed, more so than usual in the series, in reference to the friendship between Straggletag and the prince. Seen it? See it again. Pay more attention (to those of you who don't fanatically adore this 22-minute piece of cinematic perfection). Never seen it? I am so, so sorry.

    Luck Child - not as sophisticated as Sapsorrow, but very clever in its own right. This is a story about irony. Irony upon irony, within irony... I love it. Every character is acted to perfection, with the exception of the ferryman. He was doing drama; everyone else was doing romantic comedy. I forgive him. This is my favorite of the primarily comedic episodes, 'Sapsorrow' and 'The Soldier and Death' being examples of more dramatic episodes.

    Side note: Greek Myths. What it lack in Minghella subtlety (different writer) it partially makes up for in boldness as it portrays the four chosen myths with more sympathy and respect and history than is usual. Also check out the Jim Henson Hour if you can get your hands on it. For Storyteller adicts, it features The Man Himself introducing the myths, the lion from 'True Bride,' and... No Annoying Opening Theme! Half Storyteller, half pure, unadulterated muppet wit.

    The best

    This is the best television series for children (and adults) ever. John Hurt is a great actor, with many excellent performances over many years, but he was born to play the storyteller. The scripts for almost every episode are superb pieces of craftsmanship, and the productions run the gamut of the emotions, being alternately funny, sad, happy, exciting, and always hauntingly beautiful. It is hard to pick a best episode from so many excellent contenders, but "The Soldier and Death", with its timeless pathos, is unbeatable. It is a series to watch with your children, over and over again.

    Wonderful

    This series is wonderful. It was bought for me when I was little, and I still love watching it. I know all the stories by heart, but I still get carried away in the magic and beauty of it all. It's hard to pick a favourite episode, but I'd have to say Sapsorrow is way up there. I guess I've always loved the pretty dresses and the mysterious way the beautiful princess transforms into a hideous creature. And the two bad sisters!- you can't help but love to hate them, and Jennifer Saunders is brilliant!

    And whoever said that this series is 'insane' must be insane themselves, and have absolutely no idea about culture or about the magical world of stories.

    i found it

    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.

      Sir John Hurt loved working on this series, and wished it could've lasted for more than one season. Jim Henson also planned to use more detailed folktales and the Creature Shop to make more episodes, some possibly being hour-long specials. However, despite critical acclaim, low ratings due to parents feeling the series was too frightening for children led to the series being canceled after its first season. Some completed scripts included ones based on Petrosinella, an Italian version of Rapunzel; The Witch Baby, which was used in the 2011 Storyteller graphic novel anthology; and Vasilissa the Beautiful, which was adapted into four issue comic book miniseries "The Storyteller: Witches" in 2014 which was followed by more miniseries each year including "The Storyteller: Dragons" in 2015, "The Storyteller: Giants" in 2016, "The Storyteller: Fairies" in 2017, "The Storyteller: Sirens" in 2019, "The Storyteller: Ghosts" in 2020, "The Storyteller: Tricksters" in 2021 and "The Storyteller: Shapeshifters" in 2022. It is unknown if there will be further additions to the series.
    • Citazioni

      The Storyteller: [opening lines] When people told themselves their past with stories, explained their present with stories, foretold the future with stories, the best place by the fire was kept for... The Storyteller.

    • Curiosità sui crediti
      A bird flies through various scenes, before emerging from the Storyteller's mouth and dropping a ring on a stone, which forms the O in the series title.
