Tale of Pigling Bland and Other Stories: Beatrix Potter Review

Tale of Pigling Bland and Other Stories: Beatrix Potter
Average Reviews:

Children as young as 18 months are captivated by Beatrix Potter's soft drawings and beautiful voices in this fine interpretation of the original stories. I have to add a warning that my own daughter as a two year old mimicked the destruction seen in Two Bad Mice, lol. Children as old as 100 (yes, one hundred!) should be impressed by this production of living literature. As a teacher of many years, I have found students of all ages to delight in these stories as presented in the dvd format of The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends. C.S. Lewis himself became enchanted with Squirrel Nutkin (unfortunately not in this series)about age 9, being born around the turn of the 20th century near the time of the books' publication. He loved Miss Potter and her books and began creating his own "worlds" as a result of reading Miss Potter. Although I almost never encourage anyone to watch a dvd instead of reading the book (and I do heartily recommend reading the books), this series is magical and not to be missed.My own children are in their teens and remember this dvd series as being a wonderful part of their store of childhood treasured memories. Enjoy!

"Once upon a time there were four little rabbits, and their names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail and Peter." So begins the first of Beatrix Potter's Original Peter Rabbit TalesTM, which have been translated into 35 languages and have achieved international success in more than 117 countries worldwide. The beautiful illustrations are magically brought to life in this captivating series, including a live action introduction featuring Niamh Cusack as Beatrix Potter, specially tailored for each story. This DVD includes three delightful tales: "The Tale of Pigling Bland", "The Tale of Samuel Whiskers or The Roly-Poly Pudding", and "The Tailor of Gloucester", all beautifully animated and featuring the voices of Ian Holm (Lord of the Rings), Patricia Routledge (Keeping Up Appearances) and others!
