What happens when Barney and his friends retell fairy tales? A video that'll have kids (and adults) laughing!

First off, yes, I'm grown and I love Barney! This particular Barney Home Video stands out as having arguably the least amount of songs. This is a "pro" for adults watching who get annoyed by the songs. I personally love the Barney songs but one of my pet peeves is that the songs are often too close together on the show. Then again, that's how a lot of preschooler's learn.

This one is not your usual little kids' fairy tale video because much of the skits in this have more humor than a typical Barney video. In fact, some of this reminds me of "Muppet Classic Theater"- (1994), which I highly recommend. Baby Bop as Rapunzel was so funny because of how sassy she was towards the narrator (Barney) and the witch (Stella the Storyteller). Additionally, it was cute when she was begging for waffles in The Three Bears story. As for the kids, Shawn and Carlos were the most entertaining; mainly Carlos' bubble prank at the start of the video and Shawn was funny as Rumpelstiltskin (I think it's because of his Texan accent). It's odd that BJ (my favorite dino) wasn't in this video, he would've definitely added more funny moments. Of course, it was lovely that Stella made an appearance (R. I. P. Phyllis Cicero).

So, this is a great classic Barney video for both the kids and adults to enjoy! Fire up the VCR (or YouTube) and give it a watch!
