Looking for 80s tv show

Asked Aug 27, 2007, 01:05 PM — 11 Answers
I am looking for a 1985 TV show on DVD or Video. It was called (saban's) Grimms Fairy tales, and I think it was aired on nickelodeon. I know it is japanese animation versions of the fairy tales. It also went by the name Grimm's Masterpiece Theatre. I am looking for any type of VHS or DVD version of these. I would like the entire collection, but any would do. The theme song is located here: Grimm's Fairy Tales
Any help would be greatly appreciated...I have had no luck on Ebay...

Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimm's_Fairy_Tale_Classics#DVD.2FVHS_Releases

The wikipedia page only gives info on the DVD release in Portugal and Spain.

Though it does have links to Nippon and Saban who distributed it.

Glenda-had to spread the love, but thanks!

All the links were helpful. It looks like there is no "real" US release...
