Watched the 10 episodes below today, focusing often on ones I found less familiar. I have 26 total; not the Grimm Party compilation episode that was lost then later found.

The appeal was the stars, but they didn't really bring enough to make these better than just ok to me.





The Tale of the Frog Prince (1982)
The Nightingale (1983)
The Princess and the Pea (1984)
Pinocchio (1984)
The Boy Who Left Home to Find Out About the Shivers (1984)
The Three Little Pigs (1985)
The Snow Queen (1985)
Puss in Boots (1985)
The Emperor's New Clothes (1985)
