The Wonderful World of Disney, The Story of Robin Hood And His Merrie Men
At last..the best of Sunday night TV is back! It's the legendary TV show popular with audiences for 29 years. The longest-running prime-time series in television history (1954-1983). The winner of numerous awards, including seven Emmys. It's THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY! Join the action with one of England's most celebrated heroes! In its DVD debut, this rousing tale of England's renowned rebel to the rich and patriot to the poor is brimming with Disney's storytelling magic. The whole family will love going bow-to-bow alongside Robin, Friar Tuck, Little John, and Maid Marian in this classic adventure full of gallantry, romance, and adventure!
Customer Review: Heartwarming Revisit
I read the story of Robin Hood at age 11, and enjoyed the 1938 film with Errol Flynn at his swashbuckling best. But the Disney-produced version brought warm remembrance and once again left me smiling. The story is true to the written legend, but told with an upbeat style that is memorably supported by a singing minstrel. Richard Todd portrays a likeable Robin, and his cohorts - including Maid Marian, Friar Tuck, Little John, and the rest of the outlaw band - seem more into perpetrating mischief against evil Prince John and his minions than committing acts of hateful revenge. I loved the film when I first saw it in 1952, and I still love it.
Customer Review: One of the Top Robin Hood Movies
Now I see why Disney hasn't put this out on DVD! Profiteering! I've been looking for it forever. I don't know what other movies are in the Disney Movie Club, whether they're classics that're worth watching or the junk they're baloney-machining out now, but this one is worth every penny, no matter how much you pay for it! Even the hefty prices you find here (like the old days when DVD's were a new technology, not so long ago at all). No, it's not deep. Don't go expecting that. But it's still amazing. Definitely creams the Costner version. I guess it's on-par with the Flynn version, but I like it better. Much, much better. There must be something else to it. Both Flynn and this are fairly historically accurate, mature, intelligent, witty, fun, and clean. "A Worthy Classic" is my new title for it, in all the old connotations. I only give it four stars 'cause it's not deep.


Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg (Disney Fairies)
Seasoned fractured fairy tale teller Gail Carson Levine provides the captivating back story of Tinker Bell and Co. in this lavishly illustrated addition to the Neverland canon. Freckled and eager to please, Prilla is a brand new fairy, born of a baby's laugh. Upon her arrival to Neverland, she is dismayed to discover she has no talent for any of the fairy avocations. Tinker Bell (a pots-and-pans-talent fairy) takes Prilla to see Mother Dove, whose single blue egg holds the secret of the island's eternal youth. But before the wise bird can advise Prilla, Neverland is shaken by a terrible hurricane. Mother Dove is thrown off her nest, and the precious egg is shattered. Immediately, Neverland folk begin to age.

The island's only hope is for some brave fairies to take the egg pieces to Kyto the dragon and ask him to restore it with his fiery breath. But first, the fairies must collect treasures with which to bribe the evil dragon. Mother Dove chooses Prilla to be part of the fairy team to undertake the quest for the egg. Can one little no-talent fairy help save Neverland from certain doom? While Fairy Dust is unabashedly based on Disney's Peter Pan, Levine's companion version feels wonderfully fresh and original. The charming maxims of Levine's fairy world (fairies say "Fly with you," instead of "Pleased to meet you," and need dust made from Mother Dove's feathers to fly) along with David Christiana's sumptuous illustrations breathe new life into a beloved classic. --Jennifer Hubert
Customer Review: Our copy fell apart!
My daughter enjoyed this, I think... The book is pretty. The pages have a good feel to them and there are nice illustrations throughout. But, the glue that holds the edges of the paper to the inside of the spine failed. My daughter kept reading it, leaving pages here, there and everywhere. There are so many scattered pages that I don't think we'll ever get it all back together. It would be a tedious job to collate them anyway. So, into the trash... I'm ranking this as a 3 because it's not the author's fault the mechanics of the book failed.
Customer Review: Fairies are Better then Princesses.
I realized part of why I like the Disney Fairies better than the Disney Princesses: Disney Fairies have everything they need and are happy. Disney Princesses get everything they want. I just think I would rather be the Fairies than the Princesses. Disney Fairies are happy with the way things are, especially happy with themselves. Disney Princesses... Sure they are happy because they get what they want. But are they happy with themselves, or just with the things they have? This book starts the series of Disney Fairy chapter books, and who better to write it than Gail Carson Levine? The first thing I love about this book is the artwork. Being an artist myself my eyes always go to that first; it's just how I am. There are drawings of fairies, mermaids and other creatures throughout the book, and they are beautiful. I love the way it is written. Fairy Dust is probably written for more of a younger audience than other books Mrs. Levine has written, but it is still a wonderful fairy tale. Mrs. Levine also wrote a sequel called Fairy Haven and the Quest for the Wand.
