Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics

I stumbled upon an old cartoon today. I was but a wee lad when I first enjoyed this lovely animation... maybe in the years of'92 93ish. I miss these cartoons, its so much fun seeing these again. "Grimm's fairy tale classics" Is a Japanese anime made in 1987 brought to the states, a re-telling in anime form of The brothers Grimm fairy tales by the Japanese name "Gurimu Meisaku Gekijou". First published in 1812 by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, they are old fairy tales of German origin but known throughout the world. First introduced to me by the cartoon.

I hope I can find the DVD's for my niece. I find it sad that this cartoon is not airing anymore along with other great shows like Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears, Batman The Animated Series...well that one maybe when shes a bit older, Eureeka's Castle that was a cool little puppet show. Ahhhh memories. Now I feel like having a bowl of cereal and watching Mr. Wizard in Mr.Wizard's world.
The 90's come back to me ... sad face ... it was a simpler time, yes yes I know...the cold war but still. gp

    That chick freaks me out just a bit. Though I wouldn't mind pulling her hair.
