Audiovisual Materials
A lot of movies have been made about fairy tales. One of the most reliable sources to find movies, especially if they are named after the original tale, is http://www.imdb.com, the International Movie Database. To search for British fairy tale film adaptations, look at a list of British fairy tales, like the Joseph Jacobs title page at http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/English_Fairy_Tales and then search for a title. For example, searching for “Jack and the Beanstalk” turns up several exact matches and a few partial matches.
To see if the University of Kentucky has any of these films, simply type in the film name into InfoKat to see if it is available through the library. If it is, you can get it through the AudioVisual desk in the basement of Young Library.
Another option for seeing a film is to watch it on Netflix, if it is available on there, or through another film site. If you do not subscribe to these sites, many of them offer free trials of between a week to a month that may be worth trying to see if they are worth subscribing to.
