Cannon Movie Tales

Cannon Movie Tales is the collective name for a series of films created in the late 1980s by Cannon Group producers Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, associate producer Patricia Ruben, and executive producer Itzik Kol. Filmed principally on location in Israel, these stories are generally fairy tales based on material by either the Brothers Grimm or Charles Perrault, among others. Major stars, from both the U.S. and Great Britain, play the leading roles, in which they are joined by a mostly allIsraeli cast. The major Israeliborn member of the crew was the series production designer, Marek Dobrowolski. Announced as early as May 1986 at the Cannes Film Festival, Cannon initiated the project as its answer to Disneys fairytale offerings, and invested US50 million in the series. Sixteen stories, each costing US1.5 million, were originally planned only nine were released.
