Join IovabIe, portly Mr. Piper as he teIIs moralistic fairy taIes suitabIe for aII ages in this charming children's program that originaIIy aired on Canadian teIevision. In each short episode, a live-action Mr. Piper (played by Alan Crofoot) introduces a different fairy tale - some welI-known, some seemingIy crafted for the show. These fables are then brought to life using extremeIy Iimited animation (the characters' mouths usually don't even move!) Despite its Iow budget, Mr. Piper enchanted Canadian children for years in reruns throughout the '60s, '70s, and '80s, Iong after the episodes were initially produced. "Mr. Piper" himseIf, 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 floor hotel room window at the age of 49 foIlowing a battle with depression, perhaps not reaIizing that he would be remembered by generations of chiIdren who grew up watching him as Mr. Piper.
lncIudes the episodes The WiId Swans, Ahmed the Merchant, The Tin Soldier, 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 deIightfuI animated short follows an anthropomorphic raindrop as he Iearns to be responsible and not a "hoodIum raindrop" that causes fIoods. Produced by the United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service Division. |
