"Where a DVD ceases to be entertainment and becomes a fully immersive educational package about film history, film marketing, the purity of a director’s control, and also one of the greatest films ever made. This was a big deal to acquire; I coveted it for a long time and could not justify the purchase since it was always fairly expensive. I went to a test screening of The Brothers Grimm and met Terry Gilliam for fifteen seconds, and he was so nice and polite that I went home and bought it immediately."

The best Disney Pixar franchise ever

I love this film, and I'm not afraid to admit it. It's beautiful, heartwarming and utterly amusing to watch. I still remember seeing it the first time and being completely mesmerised by the new style graphics. And the story was an update from the usual Brothers Grimm fairy tales , modernised for its young viewers living in the 1990s. Woody and Buzz have the best partnership on screen, and it's one of those rare trilogies where every single film was brilliant. Massive kudos to Disney Pixar.

Versusyours (757 KP) rated Tales of Halloween (2015) in Movies

Nov 4, 2019 (Updated Nov 4, 2019)

A varied range of stories with differing degrees of success. There are 10 tales that cover the range of horror from urban legends, comedy, gore, Grimm fairy tales and many othe horror tropes. As with most anthologies the stories are short and sharp with the plot of each story being apparent quite quickly and there are a few twists and turns that keep you guessing.

There is enough in the collection to make you look out at the dark corners of your room a little bit more nervously and I will never look at a pumpkin the same way again.

Lore Segal recommended Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales in Books (curated)

"What turns the frog into a prince? If you say the princess’s kiss you have been misinformed. Read what the story says: “She picked him up and she threw him against the wall as hard as she could, ‘Now will you be satisfied you nasty frog?’ As he fell to the ground he was no longer a frog but a prince with kind and beautiful eyes.” “It makes no sense!” complained Maurice Sendak. He refused to believe it. I had the happiness of translating the stories in The Juniper Tree and Other Tales for Grimm for Sendak’s illustrations."

A dark little puzzler

Contains spoilers, click to show

Little Nightmares is a cute but dark and somewhat Grimm side scrolling style puzzle based platformer of a Horror videogame published by Bandai Namco Entertainment & developed by Tarsier studios for Windows, ps4, Nintendo switch, xbox one and stadia.

Set in a variety of locations filled with emptiness and seemingly demonic creatures, our little protagonist(?) Awakens and immediately set's off on a dark and difficult journey....but to where and through what is a mystery.

Brilliantly designed & thought out, little nightmares will have you questioning a lot in its short gameplay.

This is probably considered old in visual effects as it was made in 2007, so yes some of the effects are poor but that doesn’t detract from the good series. It is very similar to Grimm but with out the monsters as the main character, instead it evolves around the story of a wizard and his cases. You might also recognise some of the actors as they then went on to act in other well known box sets such as Arrow, Warehouse 13. Recommended to everyone, go and watch it on Amazon. Looks like it was cancelled after the first series but please hope that they bring it back.
