The

but minus the holidays. The DVD has some classic fairy tale critters
and some more loveable characters you and your family may have seen
before over the years.
This
classic collection has 20
Fairy Tales
and the episodes include:
James
Marshall's Cinderella, Doctor De Soto, Each Peach Pear Plum, Extra
Yarn, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Hansel and Gretel, Harold's
Fairy Tale, Lon Po Po: A Red Riding Hood Story from China, Princess
Furball, Rapunzel, Red Riding Hood, Three Billy Goats Gruff, The Boy

Both
the Holiday
Adventures
and the Fairy
Tales
are presented on standard definition 1.33 X 1 and have an age
recommendation of 3-8 years old. There is about an hour more content
on the Fairy
Tales
DVD. The episodes were released over a few years and compiled
together so the lossy Dolby Digital 2.0 audio and video quality vary,
but it is still decent and worthy of yours and your child's
attention.
