Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics, also known as Grimm Masterpiece Theater in original version, is a Japanese anime anthology series by Nippon Animation. The episodes are adaptations of a variety of folk and fairy tales, and not limited to Grimm's Fairy Tales.
Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics comprises two series. The first series, known in Japan as Grimm Masterpiece Theater (グリム名作劇場 Gurimu Meisaku Gekijō?), aired from October 21, 1987 to March 30, 1988, for a total of 24 episodes. The second series, known in Japan as New Grimm Masterpiece Theater (新グリム名作劇場 Shin Gurimu Meisaku Gekijō?), aired between October 2, 1988 and March 26, 1989, totaling 23 episodes. It was also localized under the series' English name.
The fairy tale anthology was broadcast in North America by Nickelodeon and in local stations throughout Latin America.
In Japan, for both seasons, the series used two theme songs; the opening theme, "The Rainbow Bridge" (虹の橋 Niji no Hashi?), and the ending theme, "My Town's Merry-Go-Round" (私の町はメリーゴーランド Watashi no Machi wa Merī Gorando?), were both performed by Ushio Hashimoto. Incidental music used in the Japanese version was composed by Hideo Shimazu. The theme tune and incidental music used in the English dub were both composed by Haim Saban and Shuki Levy. Most of the incidental music was in fact recycled from the earlier VHS series My Favorite Fairy Tales.
