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…
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!
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…
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…
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,…
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…
“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…
It’s Up On The Shelf’s eighth anniversary!
And since last year’s method of doing some quickie reviews went over like gangbusters, I’m doing it again! Every movie is spoiler-free selected at random from a list of films I watched last year, one from each. Here we go!

From the vaults yet always timely since this song WILL NOT GO AWAY, Jim has some questions about “Last Christmas”.
