What a great story, I always loved this show, great production beautiful costumes and scenery, acting and emotion! I am 28 years old, and I always remembered this show, I am so glad it is on RUclips! Fairy tales are not just for little kids, they are for everyone Young and old!
What a happy ending! The miller's daughter gets to keep her child and all of her forest friends who helped her will be boiled and eaten and killed and boiled and eaten again. What a great display of true friendship.
This was fairly faithful to the original tale, except for the fact that there is no wizard in it at all, and no animals (let alone a unicorn...!), instead she sent messengers into the woods who reported his name to her. The end of Rumpelstilzchen is pretty close though, only that when he stamps his foot and it gets caught in the ground, he then accidentally tears himself apart.
The actor is Hervé Villechaize-he was in fact French, and is most famous for playing Nick Nack in the James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun, and for playing Tattoo on Fantasy Island.
@aMgVbros4aetas I didn't know about that in the Grimm story. I remember on a musical version of "Rumplestiltskin" with actor Billy Barty playing as Rumplestiltskin, as soon as the miller found out that his name was Rumplestiltskin, his anger words were "I have been swined, robbed, tricked, the devil told you that", and then he screamed with steam coming out of his ears and stomped his foot, and a fire pit opened underneath him and he fell inside the fire pit and then the floor closed.
@Punki80 Oh, and no friends of Rumpelstilzchen of course ;), he was singing all alone and dancing round a fire and only mentioning his name in his song.
I guess the moral is: human beings are not perfect. We all lie at some point and those lies both prevent trouble and cause it at the same time. The point is, you will overcome.
2.) Rumpelstiltskin's desire for the child was an old myth that warned children not to go out by themselves or else, hobgoblins, dwarfs, etc. would steal them and replace them with changelings of their own kind.
Do you mean from 6:53-7:02? If so, I think he was just disappearing because maybe a spell was put on him that if the miller finds out what his name is, he will disappear and die. (Whoever put the spell on him, I guess it was taking time for the spell to work which is why nothing was happening to him from 5:51-6:52 or maybe he was given sixty seconds of last words). I thought he was disappearing because he was stomping and screaming where I thought his foot got caught in the floor at 6:53).
@aMgVbros4aetas I wasn't familiar with the Grimm story but, it's nice to hear what it was about with Rumplestiltskin. I remember reading a book on Rumplestiltskin where the miller said his name and Rumplestiltskin was holding a magical flying spoon and he said "the devil told you that" and he was stomping with anger on his flying spoon then he climbed on top of his flying spoon and flew away on it like a witch.
I'll admit...I've never seen another Rumpelstiltskin movie or actor, but this actor was amazing. But I also think that he WAS the one done wrong, for all we know he could have raised the child to have an even better life (not mate with it or kill it for supper as many have thought :/ All in all, this was all very well acted by all and I took like notice of the cheapness (compared to today's standards, I guess) in things they used.
I love the alternative story of Rumplestiltskin, where the magical dwarf was actually an elf that helped the miller's daughter out of sympathy and in the end fell in love with her, making a joke that "he would have her first child". After she became queen and gave birth to a daughter and realized that the king never loved them, she called upon the elf to take her away, which he gladly did and married the miller's daughter. lol pony-corn >U
He was arrested for killing the witches of Dangerous Wood and the evil frog of Black River. But he escaped, and to this day, has not been seen or heard from.
The only reason why Rumpelstiltskin was giving the miller a chance to keep her baby because she started to cry which made him feel sad and start to cry. So I wonder if she never guessed his name (of course, in the story the miller is supposed to get his name) all she has to do is cry and Rumpelstitlskin will start to cry too and say "please don't cry, I don't like to cry" and then maybe he would say "okay, you can keep the baby" or he would give her more extra days to figure out his name.
Did you know that Herve Villechaize was applying real emotion to that scene, not just acting? He was getting out alot of frustration and anger. Shelley Duvall's reaction to this is genuine, she was actually frightened by it.
I suppose this fairy tale could be considered to have a moral about not making deals with the devil, so to speak. Bare in mind that most of the well known fairytales were originally meant purely for entertainment, it is only in more modern times that the morality play element got introduced.
@elmando5 so what you're saying is is that its right to demand to take someone's child? the girl offered him riches and all he wanted was to steal a child to do god knows what! she sacrificed her ring and her necklace both belonging to her late mother and offered so much more.
3.) When you identify your problems and give them a name, they lose power over you. and 4.) Bragging leads only to trouble and most often it causes the suffering of the one's we love most.
@maleficentdiva I am 21, and I love it, too Kids nowadays have no idea what fun shows like this were to watch! I agree with your comment about fairy tales being for both young and old- my mom's favourite has always been Sleeping Beauty while mine is The Little Mermaid
I love this Rump... he should have had the queen neutered, she was going to sacrifice the kid and then she realised that she liked it and she spawned with a homicidal migit... just creepy... I'm on Rumps side with this one, i'm curious to see an alternative ending where the rump raised a handsome dashing young prince peasant boy who understands the value of keeping a promise
@sugarmagnolia17 unfortunately that is untrue. All film is based on the cummunity of the time, moral, and such. there is no film on earth that is not meant to sway you into thinking a specific way. Obvious representations are All Disney films, Barbie Films, and popular movies such as 2012. others that must be researeched in great depth are Fatal Attraction, Alien, Rosemary's Baby, and MORE.
i am trying to understand the moral... i mean... The miller for lying...the woman for not fullfilling her promises...i mean Rumplestiltskin was only accepting what was his in the end... v.v
@JukesD Gosh girls didnt anyone think that that is life. power is displaced and we all have to keep what we promise? my boss tells me what to do and i have an obligation to complete what i promised in earlier contracts. He has more power over me, this, however, ends in a way life would not end, Rumple fading into nothing. -shrugs- a bad rebuddle would be to note its a fairy tale, because your right and fairy tales influence our youth and teach >
yes but when in desperate times we will do all we can to save ourselves. what if she didnt make the promise? she would have died for her fathers sake and we would learn that we should lie to save outselves... v.v why doesnt the king learn something? i mean..REALLY
Because he wanted to marry his daughter off to a rich man (In this case, royalty) and telling the truth will not do...but it does cause a lot of problems.
really? wow...i did know that he committed suicide cuz of everything that went on, and that he even almost shot his agent in anger. but wow, i thought he was just acting as scary as he could here.
Yeah, after the whole ranting about killing and eating people, I wouldn't trust him not to make dinner out of my child. Thus, all's fair in love and war.
@kittenbut1 Well, we may not be able to take a lesson from the story now. But we can learn something from the fact that the story EXISTED and that it meant something to some people at a certain point in time. In fact, the whole story is widely interpreted now as a antisemitic slur.
Moral, could be "never do a favor in exchange for something they can pay or they do not have at the moment or promises of payment"???, trying to find moral to this beautiful fairy tale, cause honestly "Rump" (Rumpelstiltskin) wasn't a bad guy in here, he was doing ok helping this useless girl in trouble for her big mouth liar father, and unfortunately he gets screw at the end? what a injustice, hes the only one who finishes empty handed and the only one who do everything !!! just for the record what happen next?, I always thinking that this history has lose something or there was something else in it, cause this one and Rip van wrinkle, seems to have not really a message
Yes and she is so funny as the Miller's daughter, Rapunzel and her birth mother, Marie, The voice and narrator of the Nightingale, Snow White's Birth Mother and the narrator of The Snow Queen and Puss in Boots, one line after another.
Im going to boil them and eat them and kill them and kill them again and burn them and boil them and eat them hahahaha what the fuck thid shit was crazy for little kids

Awww the unicorn is adorable! I love miniature horses!
Thanks for posting up this classic tale. I was a kid when I saw it in the 80's.
Thank u so much for this, im 31 and i was looking for this!! and specially Rumpelstiltskin ;)
I've always like this story, but to see it act out is a real treat. Thank u fairytale theatre.
Rumpelstiltskin's reaction to the Miller's daughter guessing his name cracked me up.
What a happy ending! The miller's daughter gets to keep her child and all of her forest friends who helped her will be boiled and eaten and killed and boiled and eaten again. What a great display of true friendship.

That last little troll to leave the party may have forgotten his cap, but he still runs Bartertown!
Yes! I've always find myself humming that Rumpelstiltskin song and was wonderin where it came from. It's been so long.
The actor is Hervé Villechaize-he was in fact French, and is most famous for playing Nick Nack in the James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun, and for playing Tattoo on Fantasy Island.
When Rumpel freaks out all I can think is, "Would someone just SHUT THAT MIDGET THE FUCK UP?!"
I guess whoever (maybe God or the devil) or whatever caused Rumpelstiltskin to disappear from 6:53-7:02 was thinking the same thing you were thinking.
4:24 to 4:34
You can hear the camera crew laughing in the background because of the baby XDD
The whole part where Rumpelstiltskin goes into a rage used to mix my emotions as a child between being afraid and yet also amused.
I guess the moral is: boasting can get you into serious trouble, and: don't make promises you can't keep.
@aMgVbros4aetas I didn't know about that in the Grimm story. I remember on a musical version of "Rumplestiltskin" with actor Billy Barty playing as Rumplestiltskin, as soon as the miller found out that his name was Rumplestiltskin, his anger words were "I have been swined, robbed, tricked, the devil told you that", and then he screamed with steam coming out of his ears and stomped his foot, and a fire pit opened underneath him and he fell inside the fire pit and then the floor closed.
Wow I used to watch all the shelly duvall joints with my older sister now that im watching them they were pretty scary lol
the king kinda looks like Donald Trump
Lmao for real! :D
Acts like him too!
I think he looks more like that creepy restaurant guy (Roy) Eric and Hyde worked for on That's 70s Show.
@Punki80
Oh, and no friends of Rumpelstilzchen of course ;), he was singing all alone and dancing round a fire and only mentioning his name in his song.

Watch the Cannon Movie Tales version. That version gives it slightly more sense.
Apparently, the sets and costumes were inspired by the art of N.C. Wyeth. I've been looking into his works and there definitely is a similarity.
How can i find the dvd in Italian language :(? i remember i saw this like 30 years ago 😢
I remember watching this as a kid, I remember it freaked me out
2.) Rumpelstiltskin's desire for the child was an old myth that warned children not to go out by themselves or else, hobgoblins, dwarfs, etc. would steal them and replace them with changelings of their own kind.
I actually forgot, in the very original Rumpelstiltskin story, is the first born child a boy or a girl? Does anyone know?
Katie Mealey It's a boy.
Do you mean from 6:53-7:02? If so, I think he was just disappearing because maybe a spell was put on him that if the miller finds out what his name is, he will disappear and die. (Whoever put the spell on him, I guess it was taking time for the spell to work which is why nothing was happening to him from 5:51-6:52 or maybe he was given sixty seconds of last words). I thought he was disappearing because he was stomping and screaming where I thought his foot got caught in the floor at 6:53).
He commited suicide due to his health.
That was both acting and pure, pent up anger.
@aMgVbros4aetas I wasn't familiar with the Grimm story but, it's nice to hear what it was about with Rumplestiltskin. I remember reading a book on Rumplestiltskin where the miller said his name and Rumplestiltskin was holding a magical flying spoon and he said "the devil told you that" and he was stomping with anger on his flying spoon then he climbed on top of his flying spoon and flew away on it like a witch.
@CrazyGrin I know that actor Billy Barty played as Rumplestiltskin on a musical version of "Rumplestiltskin."
@stephantom but what was the point????
I'll admit...I've never seen another Rumpelstiltskin movie or actor, but this actor was amazing.
But I also think that he WAS the one done wrong, for all we know he could have raised the child to have an even better life (not mate with it or kill it for supper as many have thought :/
All in all, this was all very well acted by all and I took like notice of the cheapness (compared to today's standards, I guess) in things they used.
8:47- Fred FUCHS? Fred Fuchs! Oh my God, Fred Fuchs!
I love the alternative story of Rumplestiltskin, where the magical dwarf was actually an elf that helped the miller's daughter out of sympathy and in the end fell in love with her, making a joke that "he would have her first child".

What version is that?
He was arrested for killing the witches of Dangerous Wood and the evil frog of Black River. But he escaped, and to this day, has not been seen or heard from.

They're king and queen. They have servants who prepare their meals. That or he'd make the wizard do it.
Did you know that Herve Villechaize was applying real emotion to that scene, not just acting? He was getting out alot of frustration and anger. Shelley Duvall's reaction to this is genuine, she was actually frightened by it.
The way Shelley Duvall covered her ears and ran out of the room screaming in that scene was hilarious.
depends on the variation of the legend.
I suppose this fairy tale could be considered to have a moral about not making deals with the devil, so to speak. Bare in mind that most of the well known fairytales were originally meant purely for entertainment, it is only in more modern times that the morality play element got introduced.
What do you mean hook him up??
@elmando5 so what you're saying is is that its right to demand to take someone's child? the girl offered him riches and all he wanted was to steal a child to do god knows what! she sacrificed her ring and her necklace both belonging to her late mother and offered so much more.
i liked the song rumpelstiltskin and his friends were singing
3.) When you identify your problems and give them a name, they lose power over you.
and
4.) Bragging leads only to trouble and most often it causes the suffering of the one's we love most.
Lol. "Ha! The prince has spoken!" The only moment that asshole has been likeable at all is when he's with that baby. :D
He's crazy for saying those things.
@maleficentdiva
I am 21, and I love it, too
Kids nowadays have no idea what fun shows like this were to watch! I agree with your comment about fairy tales being for both young and old- my mom's favourite has always been Sleeping Beauty while mine is The
Little Mermaid

I love this Rump... he should have had the queen neutered, she was going to sacrifice the kid and then she realised that she liked it and she spawned with a homicidal migit... just creepy...
I'm on Rumps side with this one, i'm curious to see an alternative ending where the rump raised a handsome dashing young prince peasant boy who understands the value of keeping a promise
I like this movie
@sugarmagnolia17 unfortunately that is untrue. All film is based on the cummunity of the time, moral, and such. there is no film on earth that is not meant to sway you into thinking a specific way.

5:55, He's pissed!
@CatBonner13 yeah not very... educational

4:15, She knows now.
I cant umderstand his voice
Because he wanted to marry his daughter off to a rich man (In this case, royalty) and telling the truth will not do...but it does cause a lot of problems.

I cant understand rumplestiltskin at all

this story has no moral
Yeah, after the whole ranting about killing and eating people, I wouldn't trust him not to make dinner out of my child. Thus, all's fair in love and war.
That King is pathetic and scary.

@elmando5 Agreed...
I like Shelly Duvall. And i don't give a fuck what people say but Shelly is pretty.
Yes and she is so funny as the Miller's daughter, Rapunzel and her birth mother, Marie, The voice and narrator of the Nightingale, Snow White's Birth Mother and the narrator of The Snow Queen and Puss in Boots, one line after another.
