We watched this so many times when we were younger! I loved these stories. It was funny when someone asked me why I thought Aesop was black. I told them, "'Cause Bill Cosby is Aesop!"
I remember my youngest sister had that. I loved watching it with her and years later now that I have seen it on here I am watching it again and I love it just as much
This brought back memories from my earliest childhood! Every sound effect, and even the rhythm of Cosby's voice as he recites those poems! Thanks a lot for uploading this!
I remember as a kid I was very worried about my state exams for English and Math. I was freaking out the weekend before these exams and watched this video, having found it in my Grandmas VHS stash. the video made me very happy and calmed me down. PS I passed my exams!
I find it entertaining that despite Greek characters being normally played by whites (and quite reasonably so), Bill Cosby playing Aesop is absolutely correct because the real Aesop was a black man.

u really need to do your research, do u know of a subject called biology and evolution? evolution states how a species adapts to its environment thus becoming diverse. white is albino, meaning they have no skin pigments. pigments protect the skin from sunrays, the more sun, the more pigments in the skin. aesop is recorded as being an ethiopian. how can u not know about basic biology?
God bless UA-cam for allowing me to relive my childhood. My VHS of this is long gone.
I'm seriously getting teary eyed because this is my childhood right here, my God this brings back memories!
A-men..
I totally had this on VHS.
We watched this so many times when we were younger! I loved these stories. It was funny when someone asked me why I thought Aesop was black. I told them, "'Cause Bill Cosby is Aesop!"
Charis Walker aesop was black guy
Charis Walker :(
I remember my youngest sister had that. I loved watching it with her and years later now that I have seen it on here I am watching it again and I love it just as much
I'm so lucky that the Bill Cosby "Hare and Tortoise" story is available on UA-cam.
OMG I WATCHED THIS MOVIE 3,000 TIMES AS A TODDLER/SMALL CHILD.
SAME!
This brought back memories from my earliest childhood! Every sound effect, and even the rhythm of Cosby's voice as he recites those poems! Thanks a lot for uploading this!
I love bill cosby
I only caught the tail end of this show when I was 11 but the thing that stood out for me was the music is heard at the end of the show.
I had this on VHS tape, it was a birthday gift. I'd watch this all day everyday
I too had this on VHS.
oh my god this bring back so many memories
Used to watch this on VHS as a kid!!
3:19- 3:22 -- Even as a kid, I remember laughing at the face Mr. Cosby made when he hurt his back. :D
I love this as a kid!! Thanks
This takes me back. The talking tree is still freaky
I remember as a kid I was very worried about my state exams for English and Math. I was freaking out the weekend before these exams and watched this video, having found it in my Grandmas VHS stash. the video made me very happy and calmed me down. PS I passed my exams!
I had this tape when I was little back in the early 90s. Haven't seen this since like 92.
indeed Lisa but it came out in the late 80 's
bro the wave of nostalgia i just got hit with
i love this video it has a good storyline and important morales hidden in the stories
The tree's a wee bit scarier than intended.
Used to scare me SO BAD.
Memories
I love that you posted this on the interwebs! Bringing back memories of good shows with excellent morals!
Rather ironic isn't it?
Wow brings back long forgotten memories
that little boy, thats my cousin, WOW do I remember this!!! lol
@Mr Immortalz Behave!
damn I remember my father bought this for me for Christmas in the 80 s
I remember watching this on vhs. memories
I remember seeing this back in 5th grade, which was in 2003!
A time when cartoons actually taught good morals!!
Too bad Cosby didn't have any.
Classic and rare at one time.
My VHS is shot.
Thanks for posting.
;0)
I find it entertaining that despite Greek characters being normally played by whites (and quite reasonably so), Bill Cosby playing Aesop is absolutely correct because the real Aesop was a black man.
It's Bill Cosby though...
Holy Crap! I remember this!
Still love this!
This reminds me of Disney's 'Song of the South'.
Just because they have only black children does not mean they are racist. In fact the majority of the voice actors are WHITE.
When Aesop sings about talking to the animals it's very similar to Doctor Doolittle singing a song about that.
He has such an imagination
I still love bill Cosby how dare u disrespect Mr.cosby
😜😝😝🙈🙉🙊😝😝
Who watching this after cosby got 3-10👀👀👀
that is a scary tree lol
Mike Rampersant it is!! I don't remember it being scary to me as a little girl though as many times as i watched this, lol.
"I don't play leapfrog. It's just something tortoises don't do" tortoises also don't swim 😂
tree:"removing your shoes encourages circulation, instills a sense of freedom, and stimulates thought..."
girl:"i didnt know trees could talk..."
tree:"B***H! were you even listening to my wisdom?? thats the problem with you G**damn kids today..never listening to your elders"
girl: 0_o!!
boy: =O !!
Ihavent seen this in years, i had the video mayn, good times
My brother used to know the whole movie line by line he would even try to act it out
that was before Roger Rabbit
me too man i had a vcr tape to this me and my brother would watch when she said i wonder where we are? and he said AESOP'S LAND spooky like and the boy booked it on the little girl he was like f this lol
nostalgia. that tree was creepy. and why tf was Bill cosby chillin in the woods waiting to tell stories to kids who come by?
why il be it been years since iv seen this
@FreshKiddsTV He was gonna offer them Jell-O pudding, of course!!
This used to scare the living hell out of me! Am I the only one?
The tree did lol
@@sal4.619 yes the tree!
Did they make other ones?
Is that one of his daughters? The girl on here.
Can't believe that Aesop was played by an evil man named Bill Cosby! How dare you childhood!
"A black man in his natural habitat"....What the HELL is that suppose to mean??? You didn't even have to type that...that's straight up ignorant. The show is fine just the way it was, why can't the kids be black?
racists are ppl who don't understand biology.
Bill Cosby didn't do it
One person doesn't like Jell-O pudding!
