I am a huge fan of fairy tales. No, not the Disney-fied ones, the older, creepier ones, where happy endings are few and far between and bad things happen to bad people. As such, I am -also- a fan of assorted fairy tale retellings. So I figured I'd tell you about a couple of them, especially as one of them has the next book in the series coming out ( Read more... )

New member here, I'd heard about this community before but only got around to joining when you got spotlighted. I don't have very many things to talk about, but I have a few.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks--This is about the top of the obscurity scale as far as Disney movies go, anyway. It's a partly live-action, partly animated musical set in England ( Read more... )

I don't remember much of the plot, except that it involved robots, and during the battles the viewers would be instructed to put on 3D glasses. ("When it's Laser Time, put on the ( Read more... )

Hi, first post, caught the comm through spotlight.

English TV. Children's TV - and possibly one of the more obscure things ever done by R.T. Davies, Century Falls. It was a children's supernatural -style drama that told the story of a girl called Tess, and her expectant mother who move to a village where all is not as it seems...
A gem, but very ( Read more... )

What can I say, I love things that are more underground, but the only negative thing about them is their lack of fans and the lack of dvds. >>;; But luckily I have a recorded tape of several episodes of a glorious 90s show called-
