Aunt DeeDee Tells Aesop's Fables and Other Tales

Description

2008? Aunt DeeDee Tells Aesop's Fables and Other Tales. DVD. Debbie Deane. Down Memory Lane. $10 from Down Memory Lane through Ebay, May, '09.

This DVD offers vigorous tellings of eight Aesop's fables along with two others. The fables are GA; BW; TMCM; FG; GGE; LM; SW; and TH. The two other tales are "The Old Hag's Long Leather Bag" and "The Little Old Lady and Her Pig." The stories are accompanied by a wild proliferation of images of various sorts. The tellings are vigorous and include a variety of voices, all presumably from Deane. There is a written moral at the end of each fable followed by a vocalized slide "The end." The first day's cry in BW brings his mother and sister. The next cry brings men and boys with pitchforks. In TMCM, the city cousin drives a car with a windup key in its trunk. The cat attacks once, and the country mouse says good-bye. Here is one more evidence of how much people love Aesop's stories and keep them alive with their lively presentations.
