STORYBOOK INTERNATIONAL


This ageless series, available for the first time on DVD, features 65 folktales gathered from around the globe. Watch stories of mistaken identities, impossible tasks, clever tricks and romantic adventures set in various cultures. The traditional narratives have been wonderfully adapted and filmed on locations scattered around the world using native performers. With their messages of hope and perseverance, these best-loved tales from far away lands will entertain viewers of all ages. Shot all across the globe from Russia to Ireland, India to Scandinavia -- Storybook International provides hours of enjoyment for children both young and old. As the New York Times has said, these "lavishly produced" tales are "the equivalent of good library books" and the "perfect distraction for a rainy afternoon." Exotic locations and breathtaking cinematography transport viewers into faraway lands they could only imagine and will want to visit time and time again, providing a refreshing air of authenticity rarely found in filmed fairy tales. With something for everyone, these 65 tales in a 10 DVD set are a wonderful mix of humor, action and romance and will teach viewers about family values and morals as well as giving them insight into a multitude of different cultures. This critically-acclaimed series has become an important part of many school curriculums and its lessons will be sure to stay with children years later.

YES! Finally, some good citizen of the planet has put up the UK version, instead of the corrupt US one. :)

I've been thinking about this show for a long time but couldn't remember the name, searched internet for name and then found this thanks for uploading. brings back memories of when I was little

[monkeysinmypocket]

@andre48k Maybe he just doesn't know the Zulu for 'John' ...

[monkeysinmypocket]

This is genuinely much better than the US version - not wishing to be partisan. The singing and the recording quality is far superior. Nostalgia blanket indeed!

[adekea]

Do not remember this at all but wish I did!

Thanks so much for this. Nostalgia blanket.

Anyone else noticed how just before he sings "In Russia I am Ivan", he turns into a Zulu..."just skip past him quickly, no-one will notice the black man". Dodgy!
