1. Seriously, this movie is great. CHe-CHe-CHe-CHe CHECK IT OUT. GO AHEAD. CHECK IT OUT GO AHEAD YEAH CHECK IT OUT! I remember hearing that on the original vhs release. Probably never hear it again. :(



2. I bought this movie years ago for my children, and they loved it. I was pleased to find it again on Amazon, so I could purchase it for my nephews. It's an enjoyable movie for adults and kids. My youngest nephew who is usually afraid of certain movies loved this one.



3. Bought it for my younger brother, as it was a favorite of mine and my older brothers. Features Howie with horns and ratty clothes, not a suit and beautiful women.



4. This is an enjoyable Family film for all ages.
   Howie Mandel and Fred Savage give fine performances in this caper based on those childhood fears of monsters under the bed or in the closet.
   The monsters could have been made scary but were tonned down for younger children although, the two head monsters could scare younger children.
   Brian (Savage)discovers a strange world under his bed where he soon makes friends with Maurice(Mandel). As Brian has just moved with his family to a new area and has no friends he and Maurice start a nightly rampage of mayhem to get children in trouble with their parents. This soon effects his school work and when he gets the girl he likes into trouble over her homework he decides to stop. Unfortunately the head monsters are keen to make Brian a permenent monster so they kidnap his younger brother forcing Brian to enlist the help of his girlfriend,his brother's friend and the school bully to save the day. Only problem they have to return before sun up or remain forever.



5. I just love this movie soo much! I remember watching it when i was a kid and now that it's available on DVD i would recommend it to anyone!

4 comments about Faerie Tale Theatre - The Princess Who Had Never Laughed.

1. I really enjoyed this movie. It was very comical. It's the funniest Faerie Tale Theatre film I've seen yet. And it teaches a very good moral too! A great family film!



2. I rented every volume of the Faerie Tale Theatre that the video store had at least 100 times when I was a kid. All these years later, this is the one I remember the most. That must say something for the quality of this story. Kids and parents will love it.



3. My sister and I were recently discussing our favorite movies when we were little. And this one was it. We had the disney movies and stuff, but this movie is funny and a great story. We use to watch this movie a lot! A great, perfect movie for children.



4. THE PRINCESS WHO HAD NEVER LAUGHED is one of the lesser-known tales featured in the FAERIE TALE THEATRE series, though it's up there with the best.
   
   In a kingdom where fun and frivolity is forbidden, a Princess will discover the greatest treasure is something she can't buy...
   
   Princess Henrietta (Ellen Barkin) lives a life dominated by lessons, lessons and more lessons. Her only friends are her poe-faced father the King (Howard Hesseman), the tutor (Barrie Ingham) and governess (Mary Woronov). When her life becomes too much to bear she retreats to her room and won't come out unless someone makes her laugh.
   
   Enter 'Weinerhead' Waldo (Howie Mandel), who's considered the most funny boy in the kingdom. Will he make Henrietta laugh, or perhaps even capture her heart? Wait and see!
   
   Probably one of the strongest casts ever assembled for a single episode of FAERIE TALE THEATRE; Ellen Barkin is a delight as Henrietta, Howard Hesseman (DOCTOR DETROIT) is hilarious as the king and Mary Woronov (of Andy Warhol-CHELSEA GIRLS fame) is excellent as the strait-laced governess.

1 comments about Young Comedians All-Star Reunion.

1. I first saw this stand-up show on HBO a long time ago when I was a kid and loved it. When I saw it again last year I thought it was even better. Here you can see great young comedians taking there first steps to stardom like Ellen Degeneres. This video also has great comedy veterans like Robin Williams and Howie Mandell. You also get to see clips from there earlier performances when they too where starting out. So I really recomend this product if you love stand-up comedy.

5 comments about Mother Goose Rock N Rhyme.

1. You know I remember this movie from when I was like 10. I've looked for this crazy movie FOREVER! I loved this one when I was younger and would recommed it for anyone! I can't wait to watch it again!



2. This movie is a DELIGHT!!!!!! No matter how old you are. Love the cast, sets, costumes, the lines, like jack and jill's "relationship" and Gordon referring to the 3 men in the tub (zz Top) as "those wackos with the 5 o'clock shadows." Loved Gordon and BoPeep's almost-kiss, the carnival scene (esp the barker), and the "Don't Be A Stick In The Mud song from the dungeon scene. Recommended for kids from 4-104



3. This is one of those movies we used to watch on the Disney Channel and just loved it more every time we saw it. I never knew it became a hard to find classic, but when I tried to find a copy to buy, I saw them going for up to $54 on Ebay. For those of you who want to buy it but can't find it, I went to Pricegrabber.com and paid $11 for a VHS copy. It's backordered, but worth the wait.



4. This movie has been one of my favorites since I first saw it when Disney channel was giving a "free" preview when you used to have to order it like HBO. I was about 10 then, and I still ADORE the movie. I ordered it when something made me search it on Amazon, and I have watched it with my nieces and nehpews, and sometimes by myself! Its the best blend of bright colors, catchy tunes, and some adult humor speckled here and there..way before shrek came along. If you are thinking about ordering it, do! And I suggest the Faery Tale Theater box set also!



5. It is what it is--a fun, goofy fairy tale. It's VERY dated--a lot of the cringe-worthy 80's fashion and artists were here in full force. I laughed at many parts of the video, and shocked even myself at some of the 80's artists I recognized.
   I bought it mainly because of the presence of "That Lil' Ol' Band From Texas", the "guys with the 5 o'clock shadows" themselves, the fantabulous ZZ TOP (This video filled one of the few gaps in my ZZ Top collection).

1 comments about Fits Like a Glove.

1. I first bought this cassette about 21 years ago, listened to it on every volleyball trip and was the hit of the travelling team because of it! I'd long since lost the tape but found the cd on Amazon not too long ago. Howie is just as funny as I remember him being. Great improv. Not too dirty and not too much cursing. Never understood why comics feel the need to F*** this and F*** that to try and make something appear funnier. Howie's a good guy! (Nothing like the baldy on Deal or No Deal!)

3 comments about Where Did I Come From?.

1. When I was younger, I never really cared much about the whole "where do babies come from?" question that most go through at some point in time. In fact, I don't remember ever asking my parents that question, and I can remember tons of stuff from my earlier days. I can still remember the day this movie graced my home though. My parents took me with them to rent some movies, and when we got home, I noticed this in the stack. What happened to The Jungle Book? Well, it had to wait a few days, as this was more important [to them]. My dad sat me down in front of the tv, popped the tape in, and sat back to see how I'd handle it. That image aside, he's a good dad, though I think preparation for this would be nice. Let me tell you, after seeing this when I was in 5th or 6th grade, I NEVER had another question about how babies were made. Not that I had any to begin with, but still. Until just recently, when I watched it with my girlfriend to show her how I found out about everything, I could remember most of the movie. It leaves that much of an impact on the viewer, at just 30 minutes too!
   
   Do I even need to summarize the movie? It's an animated movie, narrated by Howie Mandel ('kinda creepy given his work on Bobby's World actually). That's all there is to it. It's not that graphic- all we really see is a naked man and woman, not very detailed at all...especially the man. When they "make love", it just shows a lump under the blankets, where they both are, and then we cut to the cat design on the blanket, where the kitties are rubbing their heads against each other faster and faster until there's an explosion of hearts. The other thing? Seeing a cartoon mom breast feed. So any parents worried about what this might show, first of all you must be wacked since the movie's title obviously implies something. But that aside, this is as tame as you can get to having an explanation of how babies are made, without letting them walk in on you "wrestling". Heck, if anything, the intro to the movie is the most offensive bit- stereotypical kids from every part of the world. But I'll leave that out of here, as I could do 5 pages on it alone.
   
   At just under 30 minutes, Where Did I Come From? tackles each step of making a baby. To the act that starts it, to the race to the egg (shown by swimming in an Olympic pool), to the baby developing inside the womb, everything is dealt with. The proper names for certain units and such are used on a regular basis so the viewer knows what does what. The movie doesn't need to be any longer since it covers each subject quickly and easily without too much description. This is mostly for kids ages 7+, I guess. I don't know when parents tell their kids about this these days. I have a baby on the way in less than 4 weeks myself, and I plan on telling her about it [via this movie probably] when she's around 8 or 9. My little brother, who's 10, still doesn't know, and actually told us that they came from trees when we asked him. That's another thing this movie covers in the beginning- all the different answers most parents give their kids. If there was anything bad to say about the presentation itself, the 2 minute intro that goes nowhere would be it, as well as the long pauses Howie gives in some scenes. I can see kids getting antsy and asking mom or dad to finish the sentence instead.
   
   Unfortunately, given when this was made and on the budget it had, nothing else translates well to the dvd. The picture quality is below average. If you've seen the first release of The Last Unicorn, you'll remember the white line at the top of the screen, almost like the top of a frame. It's here through the whole presentation, though it doesn't distract you too much. There's some grain, spotting, discolor and other visual problems, but you're not watching this to show off your new HD TV I'm sure. The audio fares the same- I had to turn up the volume on my computer all the way in order to hear it clearly just about 12 or 13 feet away.
   
   There are no special features. 'kind of understandable actually. I don't think a commentary would've done much. Though, there is an audio selection, which kind of counts. You have two options for it, but they're both English and just depend on your basic mono/stereo settings. A look on the book this is based on would've been nice, as would an interview with Peter Mayle. Barely animated menus don't cut it any more, and this was finally upgraded from VHS less than 2 years ago. It's just a transfer from the original tape, nothing else.
   
   I know I'm going to get some negative feedback for it, but my rating on DVD movies and shows is for the overall DVD as you may not know. So audio, picture and extras all factor in. If I were reviewing the original tape, this would easily get 4 stars (more like 4.5). However, with nothing else but the movie, it's hard to give it an honest 3. And at the price, even if it's fairly cheap, you're paying too much for something that's just 30 minutes long. Give it a rent. Your child probably won't need to watch it again after the initial sitting.



2. The seller was super great, this was a used CD, but it worked great and came super fast, thank you.
   The CD is self was graphic at times, but sticked to subject matter as expected and helped out a lot as our daughter definitely needed more than just the book.
   THANK YOU



3. This film has become a tradition to use with our teenagers during our "Faith & Sex" weekends. It's an easy way to open up difficult topics!
