FAERIE TALE THEATRE: GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS {THIRD SEASON PREMIERE} (TV)
Summary
One in this series of whimsical adaptations of fairy tales hosted by Shelley Duvall. Tatum O'Neal stars in this version of the classic tale of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." Three bears -- Mama Bear, Papa Bear, and Cubby Bear -- leave their home and go for a walk in the forest while they are waiting for their porridge to cool. Meanwhile, a young girl, Goldilocks, sneaks out of her house and wanders off into the forest. She comes to the bears' home and enters without permission. Goldilocks eats some of their porridge, accidentally breaks one of their chairs, and then falls asleep in Cubby Bear's bed. When the bears return home, they discover Goldilocks asleep. Papa Bear lets out a loud growl which causes Goldilocks to wake up and run away in fear. The next day, while playing in the forest, Goldilocks and Cubby Bear become friends. Goldilocks then lies to the bears and tells them that she is an orphan. The friendly bears invite her to stay with them and she accepts. Meanwhile, Goldilocks' parents send the forest ranger out to search for their daughter.
