No matter HOW MANY TIMES my 5 yr old, who can recite this story word for word, hears or sees this story ( her absolute favorite since age 2 ) she STILL gets herself tied up into a little mt. of nerves EVERY TIME! The true joy is, we STILL giggle alongside her with equal glee! IT NEVER GETS OLD, NEVER! Thank you, thank you for posting this lil' gem.
@Bagdadbrothers Probably because these days people are afraid to mention guns. I've even heard the word "gun" being beeped out of songs on the radio before.
Was this before or after Michael J. Fox narrated this story? I'm only familar with that version cuz I had a lot of the videos from Shelley Duvall's show. But MJF and Billy are both awesome for reading a children's book!
TRIVIA: What makes Billy Crystal's narration all the more meaningful here is how it is being told by none other than the same voice actor of Mike Wazowski from "Monsters, Inc." one of the monsters who make their living entering through children's bedroom closets frightening them in order to harvest the power of their screams to generate their city's power. ; )
OH MAN. I literally just remembered this video out of no where today and had to find it. Glad I did! I use to check it out from the library all the time.
Scared the shit out of me when I was little. I mean watching this, Jurrasic park from ages 1-3 wasn't a great idea...darn my grandparents. Well I'm glad it helped me overcome alot of things.

In the book he had a cork gun and said "I'll shoot you," not "I'll get you" and shot it anyway. Wonder why the change? Anybody else notice that?

Monsters don't CREEP me out they are cool looking. LOL this reminds me of Monsters Inc. I wished Sulley was a female & Boo was a male.
I love female furs no matter what age they are & what they look like.
