At a time when most other shows for children were either low-budget productions or product-inspired cartoons that were little more than half-hour commercials, this program set out to produce high-quality classic entertainment that children would enjoy. Much inspired by an earlier children's program, "Shirley Temple's Storybook" (1958) (also known as "Shirley Temple Theatre"), Shelley Duvall hosts this program featuring some of the best-known in Hollywood performing adaptations of traditional stories.

King:
Who stands out there?
Wizard:
Your loyal subjects come to pay their monthly tribute.
King:
Send me one.
Wizard:
Sir?
King:
Send one of those fellows in here.
Wizard:
Which, sir?
King:
I don't care. Send me... That lowly stupid looking one that's covered with dust. Who's he?
Wizard:
The miller, sir, with his sack of flour.
King:
He'll do.
With more than a million titles, it isn't feasible to handpick recommendations for every film. That's why we came up with a formula to suggest titles that fit along with the selected one. The formula uses factors such as user votes, genre and keywords to generate an automatic response. The system produces relevant results most of the time but since recommended titles are not manually chosen, occasionally they may include less than perfect matches.
