About this episode

We are back after a short break, and thank you so much for bearing with us! Well, what can we say about this tale, it speaks for itself! As you know, we dont usually go in for the Prince/Princess dialogue here at land of nod, its often unfair to women and men alike! But this version puts much more emphasis on other elements of the story, which are really rather beautiful! The help that Beauty receives is much more about the 7 fairies, or guardian spirits, that come into her life, and in my view the real hero of the story is the 7th fairy, who is smart enough to find a work around the dark spell cast on Beauty. Also, as a kid, I was fascinated by this movie and by the image of the castle and all its inhabitants being held in space and time with Beauty, for one hundred years, suspended by a magic spell and invisible to everyone else! We really hope you enjoy this tale as much as we did!
