I loved watching this video, it's visually spectacular and very well put together... Thank you, Stumble Upon! While the end results aren't exactly my cup of tea, the execution is superb.

The Storyteller (Jim Henson`s) - The True Bride [Full Episode]

Embedding disabled by request http://youtu.be/X4-3-zKUsx8 Based on an early German folk tale, The True Bride. A troll had a daughter, but she left straight off. So the troll took another girl to replace her to wait on him hand and foot. Her name is Anja and she has no father or mother, making the troll her only "family". Setting her impossible tasks, then beating her with his "contradiction stick" when she invariably fails, the troll makes sure to make her life miserable, until she one day makes a wish. Her wish is heard by the Thought Lion, a wondrous beast all in white, who completes her impossible tasks for her. When she finds her true love, he disappears one day, so Anja sets out to find him. When she finally does, he turns out to be bewitched in the hands of the troll's evil daughter, the trollop.
