Jim Henson's 'The Storyteller': A TV Fantasy Classic

A Review of the late 80s to early 90s show 'The Storyteller' with fantasy characters and puppet designs provided by the Jim Henson workshop. It stars John Hurt (Michael Gambon in the spinoff series) and a dog (in both series') recounting European folktales (first series) and Greek Myths (second series) which are then performed by a cast of actors and puppets while being narrated. It survived through a comic book series that featured a storyteller modeled after John Hurt's character and in 2019 a reboot from Neil Gaiman was announced. #TheStoryteller #JimHensonsTheStoryteller #AnthologySeries #Fantasy #JimHenson #BrianHenson #JohnHurt #AnthonyMinghella #NeilGaiman #MichaelGambon #SeanBean#BritishTV #DarkCrystal #Labyrinth #GreekMyths #Folklore #Puppets
