About
"Dark fairy tales told with puppetry and grit"
An old storyteller sits by a fire with his sharp-tongued dog and spins half-forgotten European folk tales, each episode a self-contained story of curses, tricksters, and impossible bargains. Produced by Jim Henson's team, it leans on atmospheric sets, practical creature effects, and John Hurt's rich, weathered narration to conjure a mood somewhere between bedtime story and unsettling fable. It moves slowly and deliberately, more interested in mood and myth-logic than plot twists, and rewards patience with genuine strangeness and warmth rather than spectacle.
John Hurt's narration turns old folk tales into something haunting and intimate.
you want fast pacing or modern effects rather than practical puppetry and slow-burn myth.
