Great, timeless television series with a stellar cast. - Jim Henson's the Storyteller: The Complete Collection review by Mike

Spoiler Alert
02/06/2025

Truth to tell the first series of European folk tales, with John Hurt as the Story Teller, is the better of the two, whch is why I haven't returned it yet. The second disk, with Michael Gambon, is OK but I sent it back after one watch. Need I say more?
