The Storyteller (Jim Henson`s) - Sapsorrow [Full Episode]

From an early German folk tale, this is a variant on Allerleirauh recorded by the brothers Grimm. There is a king, his dead wife, and his three daughters. Two are as ugly and as bad as can be, but the third, Sapsorrow, is as kind and as beautiful as her sisters are not. There is a ring belonging to the dead queen, and a royal tradition that states that the girl whose finger fits the ring will become queen as decreed by law. When Princess Sapsorrow slips on her dead mother's ring for safekeeping, the king finds out and must marry her according to the law. The princess goes into hiding, becoming a creature of fur and feathers, known as the Straggletag. She lives thus for years, working in the kitchen of a handsome, but arrogant, prince. On the night of the ball, she turns into Sapsorrow once more and captures the heart of the prince, leaving him naught but a single slipper as she runs off into the night. The prince scours the kingdom for the girl whose foot fits the slipper, and agrees to marry the Straggletag when hers is the foot it fits. This breaks the spell and they become wed.

@Sarah276602 nah, i don't think you get the story. she only put on the straggletag coat because it was her protection from other people's classism, pride and traditionalism getting in the way of finding a marriage based on authentic love. it's no more a "curse" than when a rich person decides not to show how rich they are so they can find nonexploitative friends and lovers they can trust. but seriously, thankyou so much for putting this up! i love this so much that i gush every time i watch it.
