Of Slippers and Spindles - Fairy Tale Retellings and Adaptations in Books, Film, and Theatre
Join fairy tale enthusiasts Cassie, Daurie, Laura, and Matt as they discuss the world of film and literary adaptations! Each month (or so) they will choose a specific fairy tale, and each week they will discuss a different book, movie, or musical adaptation of that fairy tale, exploring the way authors and artists retell, change, twist, conserve, and diversify the same stories over and over.
In loving memory, always, of Drew.

Ep. 20: Cannon Movie Tales: Beauty and the Beast (1987)
"Try to find me and know me... no matter how I may be hidden from you."
We read a lot of books and watch a lot of movies that we dearly love on this podcast, but every once in a while we throw a wild card into the mix, and that's what we're doing this week! We dive into the Cannon Movie Tales' 1987 movie musical version of Beauty and the Beast starring Rebecca De Mornay and John Savage. We talk about wacky character choices, bizarre music, rough acting, brutal dialogue, and admittedly decent costumes. Plus, for the first time we ponder whether an adaptation actually sticks too close to the original story!
