It is part of the Jim Henson Storyteller series (which is WONDERFUL), called "Hans My Hedgehog". <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0710988/" rel="nofollow">Link to IMDB</a> Actually, now that I read the synopsis, this is conglomeration of a number of tales! Anyway, if you can find this to watch, it is WONDERFUL.geeky Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311984338621692746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-66435150692986309372012-05-22T12:05:45.701-07:002012-05-22T12:05:45.701-07:00Though this tale has many familiar elements, I don...Though this tale has many familiar elements, I don't think I've actually read a tale quite like this. I love it!!

I had Jim Henson's the Story Teller on netflix and there was something like that at the end where the lady had to make her husband remember her and that he wasn't married to the ogre or something.Ziggyeorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11506561548274069215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-30311077755340450682012-05-14T16:24:40.684-07:002012-05-14T16:24:40.684-07:00Thanks for sharing your favorite fairy tale with u...Thanks for sharing your favorite fairy tale with us, it was very interesting! It reminds me of the time a friend of mine told me a Russian fairy tale- both were very complex and detailed! I love dragons too and I'm glad this story had a happy ending :-) Good luck with all your reading challenges :-)Reaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029704117971771484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-76427015741009461852012-05-13T03:07:14.177-07:002012-05-13T03:07:14.177-07:00Тази приказка ме върна в детските ми години, с нос...Тази приказка ме върна в детските ми години, с носталгия си спомням хубавите детски приказки (някои вече съм ги позабравила), които обичах да чета като дете, по-голямо дете :), а по късно четях и на моето дете. Между другото все още обичам да гледам анимационни филмчета, но от ония "старите" /Ну погоди, Том и Джери .../Slavka; e-mail: sisimoni9@abv.bghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12605290577382231125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-3215096188647150412012-05-12T16:06:09.390-07:002012-05-12T16:06:09.390-07:00Nice story, indeed!

Yet, don't you think every author should strive to create new creatures, the classical, öld like dragons, vampires, elves, dwarfs, wizards with sharp hats, fairies, etc. are too ordinary already? That's why I try some new in some of my books (weightless korks, glowing, living balls, Brown faces, fiery men, one-eyeds, night fruit, rock pieces, fish-keepers, etc...), I guess they sound more interesting than the ordinary? They could give the stories new fresh air, plots, adventures? Do you think I'm right? Well, not that I don't love dragons, wizards, etc...;).<br />Nice blog, BTW! Will be glad to follow you and post a suggestion of mine as well: Do you use sites like zazzle.com, cafepress. com, fiverr? They could be a good way to promote your works and to help "remove" stupidity in the streets like headlines on t-shirts, fridge-magnets, cups, etc: My Boyfriend kisses Better Than Yours, FBI - female body inspector, etc. Not everything we see and think of should be about sex, right? It would be much better if there were more nice pictures (even of mythical creatures), good thoughts, poems (from any genre are welcome I guess), etc? I'm allanbard there, I use some of my illustrations, thoughts, poems from my books (like: One can fight money only with money, Even in the hottest fire there's a bit of water, Money are amongst the last things that make people rich, or<br />Love and happiness will be around, <br />as all the chains will disappear,<br />and Mountaineers will climb their mount<br />and there won't be any tear! <br />etc). I guess such lines sound and look much better than the usual we see every day? Best wishes! Keep up the good work! Let the wonderful noise of the sea always sounds in your ears!

It's a gorgeous blue dragon, hunting in the light of the moons (there is a moon in each corner as part of the border), and his wings are outspread. He's gorgeous!!!mdgtjuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06665956958250175869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-565354306806230912012-05-12T04:39:45.028-07:002012-05-12T04:39:45.028-07:00I've never heard this tale before, it's a ...I've never heard this tale before, it's a great one, I loved it.<br /><br />The best dragon legend I can think of is the one concerning Merlin and the two dragons, one red, one white:<br />http://www.earlybritishkingdoms.com/bios/merlin.html<br /><br />We also have some lovely modern dragon story books at work for younger children.Jo who can't think of a clever nicknamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663450738390351663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-51241140644854990362012-05-11T21:54:33.571-07:002012-05-11T21:54:33.571-07:00This was a great story!

I'll have to do some digging and find the story that reminds me of this one...with the traveling the 9 kingdoms, for 9 years, etc breaking a cane and wearing out a shoe kinda deal!! When I find it I'll share it with you!!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15102636394805433263noreply@blogger.com
