I actually really love Shelly Duvall's hair here. The thing that's always bothered me about this fairy tal is "you do this for me, I'll marry you. If you don't, I'll kill you" and then he's confused when she doesn't know IF she even WANTS to marry him. Great stuff right there :D Thanks a million for posting these! I adore FTT and haven't gotten around to buying the series yet!
I agree. He was also in a Dunkin Donuts commercial with Michael Vale (for the commercial Michael Vale's name was Fred The Baker) where Herve also had a nice sounding accent on the commercial.
Yes, Herve Villechaize was great on the Dunkin Donuts commercial and the mascot of the commercial named Michael Vale was great too. They also made a Dunkin Donuts cereal from the 80s with Michael Vale on the cereal box. Unfortunately, that cereal went out of business. It was a great cereal and it's too bad that it went out of business.
I think it's amazing! I have read the story and seen many adaptations all great and cool! I love playing on 2 Ds's and PC. Also watching tv, going 5 walks, playing,singing,dancing,having toast,lunch,tea,treats and having fun with my dad! Seeing my mates next door and our pure bred tabby cat Flossie! Used 2 have a dog! He was a mongrel a cross collie mixed with something we don't know what and his name was Bengi! Nearly 18 when he died! Mott was first and Bengi and Mott were a similar colour!
And plus, after all that, she apparently never has to spin straw to gold again, nor does the king feel compelled to ever stay and watch her do it. Oh well. It is a fairy tale.
there was an alternate version where rumplestiltskin asked for her hair brush. Her hair resembled gold in color. when she discovered his name, she discovered also that he'd used the hairs from her brush to spin the straw to gold. When she revealed his name to him she threw it in his face that she no longer needed him or her brush, she could do it by herself from now on. I like that slightly better than this version,
You should see Doug TenNapel's comic book version of it. The girl is VERY dumb and he manages to get her to agree to give him her first born, but after he has trouble getting the baby's car seat in, he tries to trick her into taking it back. :)
He only actually said "you will die" once. Second time, the wizard was just rubbing it in. Third time, she guessed it herself, so it wasn't verbally confirmed by the monarch himself.
Has anyone realized that Rumpelstiltskin is portrayed by Hervé Villechaize the same actor who played the role of Nick Nack in The Man With the Golden Gun.
@britishlaw Rumplestiltskin probably doesn't care for gold that much. I think this because, on a musical version of Rumplestiltskin with actor Billy Barty playing as Rumplestiltskin, the miller told him to take gold instead of her baby. So Billy Barty as Rumplestiltskin said that he doesn't need gold but would like a baby. Even though the Rumplestiltskin didn't say that here, maybe it was the same reason.
the King could have played Rumpelstiltskin, he had the height for it or lack there of. The king was a meany... he should have gone up in smoke and the migit and daughter would have lived happily everafter!
The king was certainly an ass! But his problem all along was that, other than being greedy, he was miserable because he was alone all his life. Once he'd fallen in love, he was a completely changed man.
Yes, why wouldn't she want to give up a provincial life as a miller's daughter and come to live in the matte castle with the two weird guys? Sounds like just the ticket.
I always wondered about this story how poor Rumpelstiltskin ended up to be the bad guy! He helped her! and what did he get... even in fairy tales nothings fair loool
I don't get the look on the king's face when she said she didn't give it much thought, I thought all he wanted was the gold.That's all he seemed to care about.
I don't understand very well this fairy tale, why Rumplestiltskin helps her? I mean: Why especially "her"? She calls him somehow? Why he wants her jewels if he can spin straw into gold? Why he wants her child? A lot of questions on this. lol
Love these. Shelley Duvall is amazing

"No, that won't do!" "But I have nothing left to give!" Beautiful... did no one else catch this?? ;)
***** there was no offer of anything before and he just said that wont do.......get it now hehe
Herve Villechaize is by far the best thing about this episode. You've just got to love his French accent and his cutesy yet sleazy attitude.
rofl i love the way he says "first born child"
I agree. He was also in a Dunkin Donuts commercial with Michael Vale (for the commercial Michael Vale's name was Fred The Baker) where Herve also had a nice sounding accent on the commercial.

God I love how the gold straw looks. I always wanted it when I was little!
The wizard makes a good straight man.
I'LL GIVE HIM ALL MY NEPHEWS FOR 10 BRICKS OF GOLD!!! HAHAHAHA
What a selfish king! Like one room full of gold thread wasn't enough!

If he can turn all that straw into gold, why would he want her ruby ring??
I think it's because it had sentimental value to her. He's after things that mean something to the owner, not interested in the material value
Lynsay Beck Okay smartie pants, what part is his middle name
parker barefoot I could be wrong, but I highly doubt the three-name structure applied to magical imp of ancient lore :P
Maybe middle names killed middle earth. We must warn the masses!
parker barefoot anything is possible...
The king looks like Rush Limbaugh. LOL!
And plus, after all that, she apparently never has to spin straw to gold again, nor does the king feel compelled to ever stay and watch her do it. Oh well. It is a fairy tale.
i loveeeee the rumpy!
Shelly Duvall looks pretty here.Better than she did in "The Shining"
who'd want to marry and old man like him at her age. Indeed its for status
there was an alternate version where rumplestiltskin asked for her hair brush. Her hair resembled gold in color. when she discovered his name, she discovered also that he'd used the hairs from her brush to spin the straw to gold. When she revealed his name to him she threw it in his face that she no longer needed him or her brush, she could do it by herself from now on. I like that slightly better than this version,
I used to fuck with this when i was a kid
You should see Doug TenNapel's comic book version of it. The girl is VERY dumb and he manages to get her to agree to give him her first born, but after he has trouble getting the baby's car seat in, he tries to trick her into taking it back. :)
If the little man can spin all that gold why would he be interested in such a crappy little ring? he could make his own fortune?
He only actually said "you will die" once. Second time, the wizard was just rubbing it in. Third time, she guessed it herself, so it wasn't verbally confirmed by the monarch himself.
I just realized that the king (Ned Beatty) is Lotso Huggin Bear from Toy Story 3!!
the plane the plane
4:50 There should be plenty of rooms that are bigger in that castle!
Rumpelstiltskin is the guy from Fantasy Island!
Would you,could you? Badda Bing.
Cool.
I hate it how greedy idiots don't think of how the more gold you make/bring to the world, the less it's worth. :P
Your first born Chhhild Hahaha!
Rumpy just wanted a kid of his own and adoptions were tricky back then for interdimensional little people.
cool
why didn't she just say "can you teach me to spin the straw to gold
Has anyone realized that Rumpelstiltskin is portrayed by Hervé Villechaize the same actor who played the role of Nick Nack in The Man With the Golden Gun.
This could break out into a porno at any second
3:43 - I don't suppose anyone knows the name of that piece? And would like to let me know, please?
I remember this!
@britishlaw Rumplestiltskin probably doesn't care for gold that much. I think this because, on a musical version of Rumplestiltskin with actor Billy Barty playing as Rumplestiltskin, the miller told him to take gold instead of her baby.

I know right. She got over on Rumpel!! lol
I'd answer her with my "little man"
The king was certainly an ass! But his problem all along was that, other than being greedy, he was miserable because he was alone all his life. Once he'd fallen in love, he was a completely changed man.
Doesn't having her spin all this straw into gold depreciate the value of their currency?
Yes, why wouldn't she want to give up a provincial life as a miller's daughter and come to live in the matte castle with the two weird guys? Sounds like just the ticket.
If you just listen to the sound you hear a lot of excessive squeaking and gasping, and 'faster faster'.
I always wondered about this story how poor Rumpelstiltskin ended up to be the bad guy! He helped her! and what did he get... even in fairy tales nothings fair loool
Rumpelstiltskin is not the bad guy. he helped her and wanted to get paid. that king is a jerk
the king had a gold teeth why don't he sell it LOL
Yes
I don't get the look on the king's face when she said she didn't give it much thought, I thought all he wanted was the gold.That's all he seemed to care about.
Interesting.
lol, I was thinking the same thing.
"Did you call me?"
That was weird.
fuck with....aka used to mess with this
That was harsh
If she can't she dies😢
yes,I remembering hearing that as a kid.
Why is it that the wizard wears a crown but the king only a hat
If he can make gold out of straw, why does he want a ruby ring. I dont get it. He can make some gold out of straw and buy one
Was she in the shinning
Yes
he sounds like cartman
I don't understand very well this fairy tale, why Rumplestiltskin helps her? I mean: Why especially "her"? She calls him somehow? Why he wants her jewels if he can spin straw into gold? Why he wants her child? A lot of questions on this. lol
its vaguely implied he's a demon in some versions and that he plans on eating the child.
@godzillaqueen It's a fairy tale, dude.
why does rumpelstiltskin sound like cartman????????
That is not how spinning works. lol
I knew him
Personally?
What ?
money will not make you happy
@emilygracey Just like Sherazad in Arabian Nights.
@mellisa1230 i agree
