THE STORYTELLER COLLECTION: One of Jim Henson's finest hours was the Storyteller series that first aired on HBO in 1987. As with his other non-Muppet tales, Henson fills the screen with wonderful creatures that have a wisp of J.R.R. Tolkein fantasy. Directed by Anthony Minghella of The English Patient, he takes us through the fantasy of recognizable European folk/fairy tales with narration by the Storyteller played wonderfully by John Hurt. GREEK MYTHS: This imaginative series, comprised of all four episodes, features both human actors and creations from Jim Henson's Creature Shop in this retelling of classic greek mythology.
