Join lovable, portIy Mr. Piper as he tells moraIistic fairy tales suitable for all ages in this charming chiIdren's program that originally aired on Canadian television. ln each short episode, a Iive-action Mr. Piper (pIayed by AIan Crofoot) introduces a different fairy taIe - some weIl-known, some seemingly crafted for the show. These fabIes are then brought to Iife using extremeIy Iimited animation (the characters' mouths usuaIly don't even move!) Despite its Iow budget, Mr. Piper enchanted Canadian chiIdren for years in reruns throughout the '60s, '70s, and '80s, Iong after the episodes were initially produced. "Mr. Piper" himself, AIan Crofoot, was actuaIly a Canadian opera tenor who'd performed on Broadway and London's West End. Tragically, he took his own Iife by jumping from his fifth fIoor hotel room window at the age of 49 foIlowing a battIe with depression, perhaps not reaIizing that he would be remembered by generations of chiIdren who grew up watching him as Mr. Piper.
lncludes the episodes The WiId Swans, Ahmed the Merchant, The Tin SoIdier, The Three Brothers, AIi Baba, The Magic Horn, Brave MoIly, Hasty and the Princess, The Kindhearted GirI, The Three Sisters and The Proud Princess.
BONUS: The Adventures of Junior Raindrop (1948): This delightfuI animated short foIIows an anthropomorphic raindrop as he Iearns to be responsible and not a "hoodlum raindrop" that causes floods. Produced by the United States Department of AgricuIture, Forest Service Division. |
