Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity again!! I adored as a child and I love it still more now... The genius of Jim Henson 's team!! Many films were inspired from these works of pure quality ❤
About 32 years ago played on TV in the morning matinee session that series! As a kid We find it disturbing, interesting and amazing in the same time! Same level just as Lucas’s Willow!❤True masterpiece!
I was searching for this series so many years...I didn't even knew it's name cause I was a little kid.i remember so little things about it.thanks very much!!!
@@weirdproq you can buy some used ones on Amazon right now. That's how I got mine. Got it earlier this year. It's got both this show and the Greek Myths one
People disliked the idea of Sonic the Hedgehog crushing on a human, while there have been fairy tales about anthro hedgehogs & human couples over the years before Sonic existed, and nobody batted an eye on those. Granted, the anthro hedgehogs in the stories were princes or handsome peasent men under a curse, but still. Also, hedgehogs are not ugly! They're adorable!
I remember watching this with my mom after we rented this from the library when I was a kid, and this episode traumatized the hell out of me and my mom told me that this is what "real" fantasy is like not like how most fantasy films are like nowadays where everyone has powers and being the Chosen One
Hmm.. the original story ends with Hans burning alive along his fur once she tossed it in the fire..this alternate ending changes the whole content of the fable
Yes, Jim Henson hired Steve Barron to direct the pilot for The Storyteller after seeing his directorial work on various music videos, including one for Labyrinth. In return, Barron went to Henson years later to see if the latter's Creature Shop would help design and produce the animatronic puppets for the titular reptiles (also Splinter). Henson hesitantly agreed.
And after that Hans go to a palace where the woman he is in love with forced to be married and woth the help of a white haired sexy Dilf he won and married her😂
i love this story
I'm 38 now, watched this a s a kid and I've been searching this for many years. Thank you for uploading!
same:) love the one with violine;)
40 here. The one with The soldier and death was scary when I was young :D Cool to see them uploaded! :)
I loved these stories even as a child. I love them even more as an adult.
Gosh. The use of language. Beautiful.
I remember watching this one Christmas Eve- 1992 I think it was. I felt so sorry for Hans and the way he was treated.

I feel like i'm listening to this story with a great likeminded community.
Good wishes to you all,
It’s like a TV show for writers and readers everywhere
Might even have inspired the witcher
Hans the hedgehog scared the crap out of me when I was a kid
I was thinking the same thing!!! 😂
Same here :D
@@Jizzlewobbwtfcus the one with the troll and the half man is more frightening
OMG I just love Jim Hensons Storryteller.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is the best quality version of this I can find I wish you had the other episodes
There is a channel called "Owen Davies" that has 9 episodes. Hope that helps. 😊
@@Seabassbluesman Thanks a lot!
I find myself quoting this one every now and then
in 1987 this episode gave little 8 year old me nightmares for a long time.
I was searching for this series so many years...I didn't even knew it's name cause I was a little kid.i remember so little things about it.thanks very much!!!
Jason Carter, who plays Hans in man form, also plays Marcus Cole in Babylon 5.
Compliments from the Kingdom of the Netherlands! 🇳🇱
The intro is pure perfection.
Ah blessed again by these wonderful stories....
I hope you guys release this show on DVD, or even Blu-ray, as I want to own it.
It is on DVD
@@int0thedepths Yeah, but it's been out of print for awhile.

It really needs remaster, hope Shout! will bring it to us.
I loved those The storyteller by Jim
Brings back memories of my father because he watched those with me as a child
Boze moj gde ovo nadjoh srecno detinjstvo moje😢🙏🙏🙏😇
My sister have all the episodes on DVD. I am planning to buy it as well... Love The Storyteller❤
i used to rent this as a kid on VHS from the library in australia in the early 200's/late 90's. forgot all about it until now! :O
Still thrilling after all these years 😎
thanksss!!!! at last this story in hd! :)
I just realized this has similar beats to the Greek myth of Eros and Psyche.
And "Beauty & the Beast."
@@keshiaanders6452 And the biblical story of Jephthah's daughter
JH WAS A TALENT MAN. KIDS ❤ CREATIONS...
Everytime I watch the storybook i love story from Europe I like to see more

I think it's more of a character design problem rather than the idea of it.
This and the Narnia series back in the day was the one

Yes! More please
懐かしいー。これ日本語吹替えで見たいよー。
I love the english sayings
My childhood!
Please upload more episodes!!!
This show needs a reboot.
A agree If you liked this show you should also view Long Ago and Far Away. It was a PBS show hosted by James Earl Jones in the early 1990s.
It's been a few years, but supposedly there was one in the works with the involvement of Neil Gaiman
They’d screw it all up
No it really doesn't the classics should be left well enough alone.
The new generative transformers can take any book, and let it come alive. It is going to blow your minds.
tan gosuu! muchas gracias por subir el video, aunque seria genial si suben todos los episodios. XOXO
Wonderful show, great to see on RUclips!
I heard this story as a child and now again as an adult. Little did I know...
Is this upscaled or AI upscaled to 1080p HD quality or a native new restored scan?
Just waiting for John Hurt to finish with, "But of course, I was very, very drunk."
この監督の映画はこの映画も含めて3本ほど観た。「ダーククリスタル」「ラビリンス」「ストーリーテラー」なんとなくイギリスの雰囲気を感じるが…
Hey, Shout!, do you plan to remaster The Storyteller for Blu-rey release?
Is it just me, or does the music in the credits sound an awful lot like the forest theme in Super mario rpg 🤔
Hmm.. the original story ends with Hans burning alive along his fur once she tossed it in the fire..this alternate ending changes the whole content of the fable
Could someone give me the link or name to the background music?
Is this the restored and remastered version that is now for sale as of Aug 2024? If not, can we see a teaser of the remastered versions?
The kind of dreams you only dream about
All our rivers are glass to them
The voice of the dog is the same voice of the main goblin in The Labyrinth?
Yep. Brian Henson!
So want a feature film based off this short. The same music and dark, dreamy cinematography. But I know I’ll just be disappointed 🤪
Where is the bluray or dvd release?
Never heard of this show 🎉
Hey look it's Movie Sonic
As a deformed guy I feel very identified.
❤❤❤
You can tell it's from the director of the original TMNT

Everybody knows hooze heard a proper story or two
Keith Richards tells a good story........
Never saw these
No way!
And the moral of the story is don’t listen to your mother.
I am sorry but I just don't believe he had a royal shark.
What was Jim Henson's smoking when he made this it's weird
It's an old Germanic folk tale. It's about as weird as any Greek or Norse myth. I'm just glad it got made.
Jim Henson rarely took drugs stronger than aspirin.
Marijuana.
CADÊ A TRADUÇÃO EM PORTUGUÊS 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷😢😢??!!

the story teller looks like a hobbit.....
And after that Hans go to a palace where the woman he is in love with forced to be married and woth the help of a white haired sexy Dilf he won and married her😂
