The only shame is that the pronunciation of the Irish names is so awful - these are very beautiful classic names from the Gaelic language, and they've butchered the pronunciation. Oisin is Ush-een, and Niamh is Neeve, not Ni-am. I'd have loved this much more if it wasn't for this...
@gloriac141 I found a link of the whole movie if you want it :) :) Only problem is taht it seemed so much prettyier back when I was 5 years old. Different... but hey!
Awesome! Haven't seen this in years, since I was a kid!! I just bought the book today. I used to have that as a kid too. It's come full circle. Thanks for posting this.
Whoever posted this video: Thank you so much! I have been wanting to see this animated production AGAIN for some time, but I did not even remember its title, let alone where to find it. THANK HEAVENS FOR YOUTUBE AND ALL OF THOSE WHO POST ON YOUTUBE!
What I want is the full lyrics of 'How About A Kobold Stew?' The characters talk over the singers, making the lyrics unintelligable for some parts. I'd love to have the full thing.
Thank all the heavens above! I have been searching for this for God knows how many years and only today after a decade have I found it. You have made my childhood dreams come true!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!
WOW!! I've been looking for this movie for years!! I saw it as a child and I just remembered the flashbacks! As soon as I saw the name it came flooding back to me! Thank you so much! :D
noooooooo way! i can't believe i found this! i remembered the commercial for it but i never could remember the name of this! and it's a Brain Froud animation! wow! ^_^
Bless you!!!!!! I've searched for this movie for years. The only time I've ever heard about this movie was from watching trailers on my old Rikki Tikki VHS. I've wanted to watch this since I was a young child, and now, as an adult, I have found it!!! THANK YOUUUU!!
I don't think he was personally. The creators got permission to use his artwork from the book. I love this show and they did a good job with the characters.
This was my very, very first movie which I "owned". I was born in the late 80's so the original was a bit before my time but my parents recorded it on VHS for me and gave it to me ( it aired on TV waaay past my bed-time) when I was really young. I'm giddy w/ nostalgia! :3 Thanks a million for the upload!
very Brian Froud indeed for the style of faeries and illustration, this is actually better, alot better than the book Good Faeries, Bad Faeries, and World of Faeries, especially his credit card faerie, feel like he was trying to make faeries a religion.
I love the symbolic meaning of this story of changing power of unseelie to seelie during Winter Solstice, when the night finally stop growing longer.
omg!!!!! iv been loooking for this everywhere!!!!!!! i watched this when i was lil we had it on vhs hahaha i want it on dvd tho. where did you find it?
This is a very good movie, I didn't watch it again since I was in a younger age of 4 and 5 because (4:45 - 4:50) this scene gave me nightmares for over a decade for being so scary?
I am crying right now because I have been trying for months to remember the name of this movie and find it!!! This just brought back so many memories of my childhood!!! Thank You!!! THANK YOU!!!!
OMG! Niamh is an Irish name (my name btw) it's not pronounced NEE-AM it's pronounced NEE-UV (MH or BH in Irish is pronounced as a V if it's in the middle or end of a word! Also Oisin is pronounced USHeen NOT OHsheen! haha so funny
hey does anyone remember the cinderella video that used to be like this? it had music similar to the intro credits on this vid, it was a cheap looking short film, with the ugly stepsisters, it stated off zooming into the castle, can't remember much apart from the distinctive violin music i would love to see it again if anyone knows the name or can upload it :)
Hmm, there was another cartoon film, also with the name Faeries, but with a different story, and starred Kate Winslet. That's the one I'm looking for.
OH MY GODD! i had this on an old video I found in my house when I was a wee boy! this is the first time i've watched it since! even though its 20 past 4 in the morning haha!
I have been looking for this for ages and ages, although now I'm a little put off that they definitely mispronounce Niamh's name. But they managed Oisin, so I guess I shouldn't complain. :\
@SuckAmother13 do u know that cinderella animation by any chance? it was creepy and had similar music to this(like the music on the intro) ive been searching for it for ages, it started off with zooming into a yellowish castle with violin music...
this is just awesome. The animation is great and i love the voice acting. I was just a kid when i seen this and remembered the shadow monster ever since.
I can't believe it! I had the Faeries book when I was a kid, I had only a vague recollection of there being an animated special and volia! Here it is! This is amazing! Thanks!
hey there i'll be interested in getting that dvd by the way, ill probably send payment next week at some point( when i get paid hehe) just to let you know! :)
Cute, beautiful, ugly, they run the gamut. However, I think budget and technique did not do the fae justice. I'm sure with some rescripting and a lot of CGI it'd rock.
this came out almost 30 yrs ago. like late 70's early 80's. I was a kid when i saw it. It was a cbs special. Brian Froud did the artwork to the Dark Crystal
Wow, I can't believe I finally found this! I haven't seen it for almost 20 years and I had no idea that it was based on Brian Froud's work--makes sense though, since it scared me so much when I was little. It holds up surprisingly well, actually. I like how it's pretty true to actual traditional spooky faerie folklore, instead of being the bland, kiddie-fied stuff, you see today.
However, it is a shame that nobody bothered to teach the actors the proper pronunciation of the Irish name "Niamh".
I have fond memories of this as a child, but now that I'm older I see what a crappy hack job this is of the original book's darkness and strangeness . Find the awesome illustrated book by Alan Lee and Brian Froud. It's always in print.
I saw this only once when I was 5 or 6! And the only reason I'm seeing it here now at the age of 32 is I posted a question on a web site describing the only image that stuck with me all these years: the battle with the shadow monster when his claws rip three bloody streaks into the hero's back. Very scary for a little kid! Everything else was forgotten, although the scene when they row in the boat was like remembering a dream. Very cool.
Thanks zendolin. I was looking for this movie, and the only thing I remembered was the shadow and his claws ripping the heroes back. I found yesterday what must have been your blog post a while back describing the same thing, and someone replied to that post saying what the movie was. Then i found it here! The shadow monster gave me nightmares for years, it's great to see it again for the first time since I was 5...
ohmygod! I've actually spent YEARS searching for this online, because I could never remember the title properly. thank you SO MUCH for the upload! it's a shame kids cartoons nowadays just can't hold a candle to the older stuff.
I remember watching this at my friends house and being so scared of the shadow demon-thing haha.
OH MY GOD! My favorite childhood cartoon! Last time I watched it was 15 years back on VHS! Thanks so much for uploading it. :-) Does anyone know where can I download it for free?
Thank you so much for putting this up!!! I used to rent and rerent this on video all the time when I was a kid. I thought it had been lost to time. They just don't make stuff like this anymore
Not to mention the animation and music are also great.
The scene at the end where they're cooking the kobold remains of a similar scene from the Hobbit with the 3 trolls arguing over how to cook the dwarves.
Ahh, thank you so much for this upload. My siblings and I watched this all the time when we were little. My dad taped it off the t.v. ages ago. I was going to dig it up and try to upload, but the quality wouldn't have been nearly as good.
Thanks again. I missed this.
The voice acting, especially on the Shadow, was great.
Your welcome. My mom taped the show for me when it was CBS. I ran that taped ragged! Later I purchased an original vhs and put it on dvd so I was able to get it on youtube.
I agree Conried did an awesome job. I love the part where the Shadaw says "How dare you." to the RedCaps and the part where he notices Osin and Puck the first time "Well, Well. What do we have here.." Love this show still do!
I know all the creatures in this film are from myths and ledgends, but I don't know all of them, so could someone please list all the creatures in the order they are seen or mentioned? Please.
Woa too many to list LOL. Your best bet is to buy or borrow the book Faeries by Brian Froud. You'll see them all in there for that is where the creature designs came from (-:
He doesn't, it was done by a different company they just got permission to use Froud's designs and charactors. One of my favorite cartoons growing up.
I like the way this is a more litigate (I guess you might say) look at fairies, more like the myths say then, say, greeting card fairies, more true to the alien nature of fairies :)
BTW: Any news you know of The Power of the Dark Crystal?
If you want see more fantastic creatures like he drawing, look the firt video of the list "duendes magicos", this shortfilm show amazing pieces!!! Enjoy it.
Brillante trabajo del maestro Brian Froud!
Si quieres ver más seres fantásticos como los que ilustra Brian, mirá el primer video del listado "duendes magicos", en éste corto se muestran piezas increíbles! Disfrútalo.
Ah! I have had memories of this for years, but I could never rememebr the name of it. I finally found the long lost VHS, but no VCR. Thanks for posting it! I Haven't seen this in over a decade!
Woderfull shortfilm!!! Do you wanna continued look incredibles things like this? See the first video of the list: "duendes magicos" it´s really amazing!!!
Maravilloso! Quieres seguir viendo cosas increíbles? Pues no dejes de ver el primer video del listado "duendes magicos"...
man, I can't believe I found this. The shadow scene freaked me out when I was a kid and I never met anyone that knew what show this was.

Not to mention the animation and music are also great.
The scene at the end where they're cooking the kobold remains of a similar scene from the Hobbit with the 3 trolls arguing over how to cook the dwarves.

Ahh, thank you so much for this upload. My siblings and I watched this all the time when we were little. My dad taped it off the t.v. ages ago. I was going to dig it up and try to upload, but the quality wouldn't have been nearly as good.
Thanks again. I missed this.
The voice acting, especially on the Shadow, was great.

Your welcome. My mom taped the show for me when it was CBS. I ran that taped ragged! Later I purchased an original vhs and put it on dvd so I was able to get it on youtube.
I agree Conried did an awesome job. I love the part where the Shadaw says "How dare you." to the RedCaps and the part where he notices Osin and Puck the first time "Well, Well. What do we have here.." Love this show still do!

I know all the creatures in this film are from myths and ledgends, but I don't know all of them, so could someone please list all the creatures in the order they are seen or mentioned? Please.

Woa too many to list LOL. Your best bet is to buy or borrow the book Faeries by Brian Froud. You'll see them all in there for that is where the creature designs came from (-:

He doesn't, it was done by a different company they just got permission to use Froud's designs and charactors. One of my favorite cartoons growing up.

Reminds me of Legend actually!
I like the way this is a more litigate (I guess you might say) look at fairies, more like the myths say then, say, greeting card fairies, more true to the alien nature of fairies :)
BTW: Any news you know of The Power of the Dark Crystal?
bloodrunsclear 3 years ago
No news yet but I am so anxious for that movie to come out. That and Alice!
