Fairy TalesFind Re-Told ClassicsMaybe you want to expose your children to these old tales? Maybe you just want to remember them yourself? These old stories were told for centuries, and I must admit I see more and more movies digging them up. Hollywood can see that these Fairy Tales need to be re-told. That is good news - as the memories of these tales still float about in my head I always loved the Fairy Tales by the Grimms Brothers.
Grimms Brothers Fairy TalesHey, they made a movie out of the legend behind the Grimms Brothers writings.What I really liked about the movie is that they made it clear that the Grimms Brothers reported and expanded on the folklore that were already being told in their time. This was apparently true. That is the what they did. They wrote down the stories that were being told, and had been told to the people of their time. Overall, I liked the movie it gave the impression of that time being very magical, and that people of those days believed the tales.
