Faerie Tale Theatre (also known as Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre) is a live-actionchildren's televisionanthology series retelling fairy tales. Shelley Duvall serves as narrator, host and executive producer of the program, and occasionally stars in episodes. The series was followed by another, albeit less successful shorter series called Tall Tales & Legends which followed the same format as Faerie Tale Theatre and focused on classic American folk tales. Both series feature well known actors and directors, and were inspired by the children's television series Shirley Temple's Storybook. This was one of the first examples of cable original programming, alongside HBO's Fraggle Rock.
Faerie Tale Theatre originally aired on Showtime from 1982 to 1987, winning a Peabody Award, TCA Award and Golden CableACE Award. It later aired as edited re-runs on the Disney Channel as well as in syndication on various television stations, including PBS and BookTelevision.

The first episode of Shelley Duvall’s beloved children’s show establishes the overall aesthetic and humor that would follow with the subsequent episodes, and, in the process, made a vivid impression on a generation of young children growing up in the 1980s. Here, Robin Williams and Teri Garr (not to mention a pre-“Seinfeld” Michael Richards) seem to be having the time of their lives acting out the titular fairy tale, and the whole episode is a pleasure to re-visit after so many years.

The three little pigs decide to teach the wolf a lesson so that he will not bother them again.

Gahter round and listen to the tales I have to tell Of demons, death and misery In this wonderland called hell The things that children dream of Are present in this land Look in my eyes and trust me Come take my hand The looking glass doth break Revealing all inside A land of joy and misery No place for you to hide We are your darkest fears Faerie tale, nightmare fantasy Keeper or souls, stealer or breath the legions. Revel in ecstacy The nightmares that awake you Believe that they are real The demons laugh and feast upon The children's hearts they steal Tempted into darkness By those who would be true Lured and deceived by the evil that we do Sugar and spice and everything nice fortune favours the chosen few Laughter and tears Heartache and tears Emotional torture inside of you Sing a song of sixpence Mummy's going to die Daddy is the devil And baby's going to cry Yu're safe with me you wait with bated breath the pied piper plays his song
