. . . and by “Potter” I am of course referring to Beatrix, not . . . you know.
I thought it would be nice to dig up some Potter-themed videos to kick off the Potter Project (more books coming soon, I mean it!). Here’s an interesting little segment about the Royal Opera House ballet production of the “Tales of Beatrix Potter.” If you’re able to dig up the old VHS release of this production, I highly recommend you do so:
This is from the GO-ORGEOUS animated series of the books. Love that theme music:
And in case you’re still confused as to what this Peter Rabbit business is about, this should fill you in pretty well:

That Charlie Brown video must have been made long after the musical Your a Good Man, Charlie Brown from where that song originated. (I first saw it in the 1960s Off Broadway and the video has Schroeder writing on a PC — ancient, but still gotta be at least the 80s.) Sorry for being pedantic, but I like the musical. (In fact, I put it on with 4th, 5th, and 6th graders in the 70s.)
Yeah, I know that the production values of the Charlie Brown clip leave much to be desired, but just about every other video clip of this scene on the Internet features blurry footage of high school theatre troupes. I would happily have chosen one of them instead, but in most cases the blurriness was just too much.
My husband used to perform “The Book Report” with his sister and two brothers for local talent shows when he was a lad. Good stuff.
