I watched the one with Beauty and the Beast as a kid several times. Definitely has an eerie vibe, but I loved it! I am trying to find this in DVD form or to stream.

These stories all have to do with love and how looks can be deceiving. We all know the Beauty and the Beast storyline. The beauty meets the beast. This short adaptation has her walking through the snow holding a stark red rose, with jet black hair. It is haunting. When she enters the castle, the beast is in the dining room. The scene is dark and ominous. His skeletal features are distinguished moreso than his fur, which I think is common in other adaptations, which make him all the more terrifying. I remember his shoulders being broad and pointed.

I don't remember much else, and little about the other two films. This was definitely a favorite of mine growing up!

My little sister had these, they were the best

I'm in my 40s now but I loved watching these videos with my little sister when I was a tween. Going to try and find them to watch and relive some memories.
