Faerie Tale Theatre - The Princess Who Had Never Laughed (1982) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)THE PRINCESS WHO HAD NEVER LAUGHED is one of the lesser-known tales featured in the FAERIE TALE THEATRE series, though it's up there with the best.
In a kingdom where fun and frivolity is forbidden, a Princess will discover the greatest treasure is something she can't buy...
Princess Henrietta (Ellen Barkin) lives a life dominated by lessons, lessons and more lessons. Her only friends are her poe-faced father the King (Howard Hesseman), the tutor (Barrie Ingham) and governess (Mary Woronov). When her life becomes too much to bear she retreats to her room and won't come out unless someone makes her laugh.
Enter 'Weinerhead' Waldo (Howie Mandel), who's considered the most funny boy in the kingdom. Will he make Henrietta laugh, or perhaps even capture her heart? Wait and see!
Probably one of the strongest casts ever assembled for a single episode of FAERIE TALE THEATRE; Ellen Barkin is a delight as Henrietta, Howard Hesseman (DOCTOR DETROIT) is hilarious as the king and Mary Woronov (of Andy Warhol-CHELSEA GIRLS fame) is excellent as the strait-laced governess.

Barney - Classic Collection Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I checked out one of the Barney Videos, THE ALPHABET ZOO from my local library for my 6 months old son, . At that time, I was not sure if my son will appreciate a video played to him. I was amazed to watch him fascinated with the songs, and especially a story about a boy with three goats. I then bought this video as a set with two other Barney Videos, ONCE UPON A TIME and THE IMAGINATION ISLAND. My son is now 2-1/2 yrs old and still regularly watches at least one of these videos once a day. The videos not only helped him learn the alphabet but also a lot of songs and vocabulary. I have no hesitation in recommending them for all babies and toddlers.
