COMMUNITY REVIEWS

I was looking forward to the creativity in these submitted by ccrose on August 29, 2019, 10:26pm I watched the first one on the first disc, the princess and the frog. It lasted between 15 and 20 minutes. Robin Williams played the frog (aww) and Teri Garr was the snooty princess. It was elaborately staged and stocked w extras in royal costumes. But honestly, I was disappointed. I figured Shelly Duval would find a new way to present these. It was very slow paced with lots of slowly delivered lines. Lots. So I didn’t watch more. There are seven discs and each has four or five takes. A lot of work but they were made in the 70’s and need updating big time. I think Shelly Ducal started this production company after she did The Shining and she said enough of this wear and tear.
