Kanopy Recommendation
European Folktales from Jim Henson
Jim Henson's The Storyteller
2024: 9 episodes: 3 hr, 35 min
Uses 3 tickets: 72 hours access
Fans of Jim Henson most certainly are familiar with 'Labyrinth', the many Muppet movies, and even 'The Muppet Show', but less well known is Jim Henson's 'The StoryTeller', a live action/puppet program airing in the late 1980's.
All nine episodes feature the titular Storyteller (and his sarcastic dog) relating a charming, magical and narratively faithful old European folk tale. This is a gift for fans of both Jim Henson's body of work and for fans of Medieval European folk tales in general.
