The trouble is neither source of amusement is ever fully developed here. The formula, presumably, is to offer the parents something to giggle about while simultaneously giving the kids the type of in-your-face silliness that’s expected in an animated piece. The humor alternates between a virtual overload of pop culture references (The Dixie Chickens, Rachel Raven Show, American Idol-style talent show judge Simon Owl and so on) and slap stick. If all of this sounds intriguing to you, I can attest that there is a bit of charm contained within even if the plot structure itself is a bit sloppy and heavy-handed. A bee attack destroys the candy house and poor Goldilocks discovers that the disaster results in the cancellation of her show.ĭesperate to get Goldilocks back on television and to collect a cut of her pay, her manager (literally a weasel) pitches a new reality show that would put Goldi in the bear’s house while they try to resume a normal life with cameras filming their every move. In an odd move, she and her crew remodel the home in edible candy. Junior sends a submission tape to the show Fab Rehab and Goldilocks, in effort to gain publicity, selects the bear’s house as the next remodel.

The three bears, in this case a lower working class family consists of Mac Bear (Tom Arnold), Ruby (Brooke Shields) and Junior Bear (Colton Parsons). Goldilocks, voiced by Jamie Lynn Spears is portrayed as a spoiled television starlet and host of a home renovation show called Fab Rehab. Unstable Fables: Goldilocks And The 3 Bears takes the idea of the blond-haired girl who breaks into the home of three porridge-eating bears to a whole new level. Yes this is the formula we’ve witnessed countless times in the past (Shrek, Hoodwinked, Happily Never After) but the Unstable Fables really capitalizes on the concept by combining just enough of the original fairy tale to retain the names and locations with a whole lot of pop culture.

The Henson Group (wisely) isn’t attempting to go toe-to-toe with these juggernauts, but rather entertain audiences of all ages with a direct-to-DVD series they call the Unstable Fables- which essentially spoof classic fairy tales with contemporary references. While the big boys like Disney/ Pixar and DreamWorks have proven just how incredible this medium can actually be. From legendary beginnings in the realm of puppets, it seems only natural for the company to be making use of the current red-hot trend of computer generated animated feature films. You really have to hand it to the Jim Henson Company for showing incredible adaptability throughout the years.
