A Poll for Going Forward

Hi everyone, first of all I just want to thank you all for tuning into the Faerie Tale Theatre reviews and for the overwhelmingly positive view count and response to my Ultimate Episode Ranking. During this break I’ve been thinking about where to take the blog next. Some of you have no doubt been hoping I return to film reviews (I admit I do have quite the backlog), while others have been asking…

Faerie Tale Theatre: The Ultimate Episode Ranking

So, we’ve come to the end of this years-long Faerie Tale Theatre retrospective, my friends. It’s been quite a ride. Unlike most big Hollywood collaborations, Faerie Tale Theatre wasn’t a vanity project or a corporate mandate driven by synergistic greed, but a labor of love from start to finish. There’s been highs and lows, but I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t any passion put into every minute…

Oh yes, and one more thing…

I meant to include this in my previous post, but I finally made a Letterboxd account to keep better track of what I watch and share my thoughts in the moment. So if you’re waiting for more of my movie-related content in between posts, feel free to check in now and then. Think of it as a preview of what I usually do to mark the blog’s anniversary. See you at the movies!

Oh my land, is THAT the time?!

Hey all, I want to apologize for going quiet for two months. The moment we went on break from work and school, I just crashed. When I wasn’t relaxing, all my energy went to last-minute holiday prep and getting things in order for the coming semester (passed this first one with flying colors and no small amount of hard work, I’m happy to say). It’s been a hell of a year, I won’t lie, but I…

Plans for December and the New Year

Happy December everyone! I apologize for no posts this November. Once I recovered from Covid, I had to catch up on a lot of schoolwork. I’ve got two weeks left in the semester, which means there’s time for only one Christmas review this year (which I’ve already picked as a tribute to its star). As for the remaining Faerie Tale Theatre posts, they will be pushed back to the new year, starting…

A Delayed Post and Podcasts Plugs (and a Face Reveal?!)

Hi everyone, I’m sorry to say that this month’s Faerie Tale Theatre post will be delayed, though for a very good reason. I got COVID for the second time, and if you’ve had it at least once by now, then you’ll know that it’s no picnic. It’s put a quite the damper on putting together the fantasy wish list I promised as well as the short review I intended to write for Halloween. But in the meantime,…

Faerie Tale Theatre Reviews: Grimm Party (Faerie Tale Theatre’s Greatest Moments)

For years, Grimm Party was considered a lost episode of Faerie Tale Theatre. I didn’t know much about it going into these reviews, either. When I found out it was packaged with the complete series I was more than a little excited, and knew I had to include it in these reviews. What could it be? A behind-the-scenes look at how the show was made? An in-depth documentary detailing the grim and often…

Faerie Tale Theatre Reviews: The Dancing Princesses

“The man of my dreams is a prince among men.”– Princess Jeanetta’s wish for a prince And so Faerie Tale Theatre concludes as it began, with a story from the Brothers Grimm. The Twelve Dancing Princesses isn’t remembered as fondly as fables like The Frog Prince or Hansel and Gretel, but by all accounts it should be. It’s got intrigue, royal balls, magical subterfuge, an underdog hero, interclass…

I've Come To Make An Announcement...

No, this has nothing to do with Shadow The Hedgehog. I’m here to share some updates about the blog going forward. Regarding the Faerie Tale Theatre reviews there are only three episodes left to cover. That might not seem like a lot, but I’ve got enough to keep this fairy tale train a-chuggin’ until the end of the year. Following the last episode, I’ll be reviewing the long-lost cast reunion…

Faerie Tale Theatre Reviews: The Princess Who Had Never Laughed

“But Dad, I’m also a girl, and girls just want to…they want to…well, see, that’s the problem. I don’t know what it is girls want.”– Princess Henrietta, whose serious sequestered lifestyle shows her nescience of Cyndi Lauper There are more than a few fairytales featuring princesses in need of a good laugh, yet more often not, they’re footnotes that come at the end of the story. The mirthless…

Faerie Tale Theatre Reviews: The Emperor’s New Clothes

“The people care not one whit for the inner workings of government. They only care that I look the part. If I’m to appear as a slovenly, disheveled ragamuffin, the subjects would assume that I am as common and ordinary as they are and unfit to rule this vast kingdom. No, they want to look up to me. They need to admire me. They demand I oppress them! And I shall.”– The Emperor’s raison d’etre that…
