Writer's Block: Happily ever after

I didn't really have a single favorite fairytale as a kid. I enjoyed seeing various versions of Cinderella, The Musicians of Brenham and Jack and the Beanstalk

I will however state that as a kid, my favorite version of the Frog Prince was the Muppets version. They didn't have the princess be such a brat as she tends to be in other versions. In this one, she's under a spell of only being able to talk backwards which I thought was a neat idea. I really wish they would release this onto DVD. Also, fun fact, this special of Robin who would later become Kermit's nephew.

I LOVED this movie as a kid! (And it's held up very well) I remember being thrown for a loop by "Bake the hall in the candle of her brain" as a kid. I was just a flummoxed as poor Robin. That's one thing Henson had over other "kids" programs, he wasn't going to try to make you feel smarter than his characters by making the answer obvious to you and keeping them in the dark.

Henson really knew how to write stories for kids, but still make them appealing for adults too.

I also loved the Muppets version of Cinderella and the Musicians of Brenham, I wish they would release these on DVDs.

Did you ever end up checking out those graphic novels, Calamity Jack and Rapunzel's revenge by Shannon Hale? Those are the best!

Yup! I bought them awhile ago and they're part of my collection. ^_^
