My husband gave me the DVD for our first anniversary (after thoughtlessly taping over the copy I'd made during the broadcast.)

It gave me nightmares: my mom loved it, though. Of course, I got nightmares from The Three Little Pigs, as well (I was younger, but always ended up in a soup pot in my dream. . .).
