I love how amazing these were to me as a child with imagination in the 80’s we had such open and honest hearts ❤no electronics just fun dreams and shows with music and imagination. 🎉RIP Shelley Duval who was not afraid of her own issues and created brilliant programs able to relate and reach out to our generation. 😊she will be truly missed 😢
I remember I really liked this FTT episode as a kid, but I was so scared of the death guy that I would run and hide in the bathroom until I thought the scene was over!
When I was little this was my least favorite, but I enjoyed this movie more as a grown up. I just watched it yesterday and now I love this as much as I love snow white.!
Deepti Kotwal did you also watch it on Doordarshan ? I was too young to know the name of this series or remember anything happening in it. but I know I used to be very scared while watching 😄 it is only a week ago that I found out the name of this series is Faerie Tale Theatre and seeing the quality of the cinematography, I would say this is The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings of the small screen. 👍 🇮🇳
@@shatnermohanty6678 no I didn't watch this series on Doordarshan. When I was little there was a video library close to where I lived and I often rented this series on Video cassette. I know faerie tale theatre was only available on cable back then so I was very lucky that these episodes were available on video cassette!
This is probably one of my favorite FTT episodes, although I remember being terrified of that evil death guy as a kid and when that part would play, I would run and hide!
6:40-6:44, Oh, Little Nightingale/Your notes take wing and sail/Upon the breeze till at last/They float down to me/And then I smile/And then I cry/So sad and lovely is your song/Oh, Little Nightingale/It seems you cannot fail/To chase away all the thoughts/That can spoil a day/You make me smile/You make me cry/There's some strange magic in your song 44:07, Oh, Little Nightingale/Our emperor's face is pale/His look is pained and far worse/His fighting spirit''s drained/Please make him smile/Please make him cry/There's healing magic in your song
Aria Jam The actor’s name is Bud Cort. He was in movies like Harold & Maude (1971), The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004), MASH (1970), and many more.
I wonder if Mick did this because David Bowie played Jareth the Goblin King in Jim Henson's Labyrinth ? Makes sense kinda ... Hey he did something for kids, I'll do it too!
I didn’t particularly like this one when I was a child. As an adult, I realized there was a lot I misunderstood. Now, it’s one of my favorite Faerie Tale Theatre episodes. Mick Jagger is great, with solid performances by Barbara Hershey, Edward James Olmos, and Bud Cort.
You have got some beautiful videos uploaded Megan. Thanks !!! Reminds me of the time when I was a kid. Sometimes I wish the real world would have been like the world of cartoons and fairy tales.
Oh yeah I definitely noticed that too and when I watched it as a kid I remember being a little surprised by that but now I'm older it's a bit cringe worthy. However I try to remember these were created back in the 80s before anyone gave any shits about diversity and representation so like, it feels easier to forgive the whitewashing in this than in something more current. This is by no means an excuse but it's important to consider the context in which things were created even when judging it with a modern lens. If you look at Fairy Tale Theatre as a whole there is (some) diversity and considering how intrinsically sexist fairy tales are, a surprising amount of feminism.
We didn't have Showtime so I never knew about this show until this year 2024 stumbling on it here on CZcams. This reminds me how Hollywood wouid use white people to play different race & they were still doing it in the 80's. Mick Jagger as an Asian?
Can’t do this one 😞 that high pitched whistle is too much. I’m really enjoying these episodes though. Hopefully I don’t run into this problem with more episodes. I hate my super sensitive ears
The whitewashing in this is a turn off. I was going to show this to my kids, but I nah. They need to take this mess somewhere else! It was the 1980s! East Asian people were good enough to animate a lot of your cartoon shows, but weren't good enough to star in your show? Faerie Tale Theatre should be ashamed of themselves.
I mean you don't have to not show it to them just because of that. Use it as a teaching opportunity. Explain to them how the 80s were a different time and that was acceptable then even though it's not acceptable now. I don't know how old they are but if you treat your kids like smart adults, they'll grow up to be smart adults.

I love this story. Shelley is extra cute as The Nightingale, and her narration in combination with the music are trance inducing and euphoric.
This one always makes me cry a little, it has such a beautiful message
Mick Jagger, Lead singer of The Rolling Stones starred in Faerie Tale Theater's rendition of The Nightingale.
And Faerie Tale Theatre's comedienne, Shelley Duvall was the voice and narrator of the Nightingale in it's rendition of The Nightingale.
Wouldn't it have been great if they had him say, during his first few scenes, "I can't get no satisfaction"?
Let that sink in, folks!
@@Kilroyiii4644epic comment 😅🤟🏻
I love Shelley Duvall in this. She's so beautifully hilarious.
I really enjoy these faerie tale episodes !
I remember I really liked this FTT episode as a kid, but I was so scared of the death guy that I would run and hide in the bathroom until I thought the scene was over!
Same with me!
I love the music and coloring/decoration in this production-all the blues and violets... :)
When I was little this was my least favorite, but I enjoyed this movie more as a grown up. I just watched it yesterday and now I love this as much as I love snow white.!

Omg I used to watch this show as a kid! Brings back so many memories...
This one always made me hungry too.
It was one of my favorites. That and the one about the boy who went off to find out about the shivers.
I love this FTT it, Sleeping Beauty and The Dancing Princess are my three favorites💖💖💖
Ive never really gotten what this episode was bout when I was younger! but now I do
July 11 rest in peace Shelley dunvall wish you happy ever after
Nice nod to the Frog King. :) SMH at that double meaning of "Did I bag the wrong bird?"

Whoever that tall white haired guy is reminds me of the Princess in Rainbow Brite's Star Stealer Movie. Also, I'm very attracted to him. LOL.
Bud Cort
19821987ftt
I know me too, he looks so beautiful
I like his voice.
Aria Jam
The actor’s name is Bud Cort. He was in movies like Harold & Maude (1971), The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004), MASH (1970), and many more.
Uncle Iroh still giving off the tea knowledge.
I wonder if Mick did this because David Bowie played Jareth the Goblin King in Jim Henson's Labyrinth ? Makes sense kinda ... Hey he did something for kids, I'll do it too!
I looked it up, this came out in 1983. Labyrinth came out in 1986.
Its crazy to see her all cute and young like this. When she played Cora in Once upon a time...
That was way better than I thought it was as a kid.
One of my absolute favorites
I love FTT very much my favourite ones is beauty and the beast,snow white,the three little pigs and thumbelina
FUN FACT: The late Mako (Iroh and Aku) was in this picture! :-D
He was in the movie: "Sidekicks!"
The assistant is so funny!! HAHA
'or I'll have you auwll.. punched in the stomach!' lmaorotfl..

Me too!
Aaahhh, memories! Lovely post!
Did anyone notice Edward James Olmos, the math teacher in "Stand and Deliver"? :)
Yes and he is also Jennifer Lopez's dad from Selena.
And he was in blade runner.
Hmm I wonder if Mick did this because David Bowie played Jareth the Goblin King in Jim Henson's Labyrinth ?
This came first in 1983. Labyrinth came out in 1986. So it might be the other way around!
Can I just say, like what the heck. Oh my goodness
Jamie Campbell Bower In Nightingale
RIP Shelley 😢
15:02 IT'S THE FROG PRINCE! WHAT'S HE DOING IN HERE?
Russell Vawter 🤣🤣🤣
good observation 👍
but the Robin Williams Frog Prince walked on two legs and talked 😄
Me and my class did the nightingale I was the wachmaker
My family and I rediscovered a fond respect for Mick Jagger, other than Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones.
-Lor-
Everyone In The comments talking about Mick Jagger and all I'm thinking is Whitewashing much?
Exactly!
Letícia Valentim 🤔 whitewashing? or lack of actors from other countries to represent right?
Oh yeah I definitely noticed that too and when I watched it as a kid I remember being a little surprised by that but now I'm older it's a bit cringe worthy. However I try to remember these were created back in the 80s before anyone gave any shits about diversity and representation so like, it feels easier to forgive the whitewashing in this than in something more current.

If you look at Fairy Tale Theatre as a whole there is (some) diversity and considering how intrinsically sexist fairy tales are, a surprising amount of feminism.
But also, don't get me wrong, not just the whitewashing but also the unapologetic stereotyping is a bit painful.
Boy, I would love to try some of the Emperor's food. Does anyone know any restaurants that serve those dishes?
Who knows?
I wonder where the rest of that food went? lol
They do NOT make faerie stories like this anymore either on film or TV.
Barbara Hersey like the fairytale, don't you?
40:03-41:30 this is downright frightening! This would make a Green Beret scream with fright!
We didn't have Showtime so I never knew about this show until this year 2024 stumbling on it here on CZcams. This reminds me how Hollywood wouid use white people to play different race & they were still doing it in the 80's. Mick Jagger as an Asian?
🤔 im looking for a movie by this name i seen in school a few times but this doesnt look like it as far as i remember
Who plays the demon in the emperor's nightmare when he becomes ill?
Disney girl 30 Gwilt reminds me of Gollum from LOTR and Hobbit.
Jesus I was searching for sir Philip Sidney
I can't believe thata mick jagger and Angelica Houston
Whose Mako? I could tell that this tale is ancient from the music.
They had asian actors. Is there a reason they couldn't play the main characters? 😑
Music is good anyway.
Can’t do this one 😞 that high pitched whistle is too much. I’m really enjoying these episodes though. Hopefully I don’t run into this problem with more episodes. I hate my super sensitive ears
Isn’t that Bud Cort? *squints
7 look
Chip part one
13:56
how disrespectful it is for another race to play the race of the character!! THUMBS DOWN!!
You're odd.
The whitewashing in this is a turn off. I was going to show this to my kids, but I nah. They need to take this mess somewhere else! It was the 1980s! East Asian people were good enough to animate a lot of your cartoon shows, but weren't good enough to star in your show? Faerie Tale Theatre should be ashamed of themselves.
LoliceMe shut UP no one cares! 🙄
LoliceMe there werent thatany asian actors actually, no whitewashing anything . 😒
Looks to me like they got quite a few Asian actors to perform. At least it wasn’t like a Breakfast at Tiffany’s scenario.
I mean you don't have to not show it to them just because of that. Use it as a teaching opportunity.

The emperors of China are Giant Babies. Everyone have to make him happy.
