And although it tries to incorporate some of the original dialogue and events, ultimately it was the goal of the Unstable Fables to revamp the works exclusively for young audiences. In attempting to offer viewers a new look at an old story, elements of the original and other fables creep in as the old woman who lives in the show appears in one humorous scene and Junior Bear attends Grimm Middle School. Filmed much like a reality series complete with camera confessionals- the arrival of the spoiled diva into the house of the blue collar (or more appropriately brown furry) family turns the rest of the feature into a sitcom styled satire of fame, celebrity culture, and above all the importance of the family bond. Now with their home in shambles and attracting every bee and insect in sight and her hit show "Totally Fab Rehab" canceled, the bubble-headed blonde's network decides to spice up the format by moving Goldilocks into the home of the three bears (voiced by Tom Arnold, Brooke Shields and Colton Parsons). While hopped up on pixie sticks, Goldilocks disastrously takes it upon herself to remake the home of the Bear Family when they're away by turning it into a two-story candy coated version of a gingerbread house filled with suckers, peppermints, and so much potential for tooth decay that four out of five dentists may have to fast-forward through that scene just to take the sugar shock. Baker and Arish Fyzee pick up the thread of pro-family values woven into the rampant pop culture and offbeat situations in their two earlier Unstable Fables and draw creative inspiration from the early success of MTV's reality based series The Real World up through Big Brother, The Osbournes, The Simple Life, Extreme Makeover Home Edition and American Idol for Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. The major change concerns our leading lady as Goldilocks is morphed into a "Paris Hilton-like television personality," as she's labeled in the DVD's making-of-featurette. Giving a classic fable a contemporary makeover- the film uses the personally invasive world of reality television where "disaster" and "humiliation" reign supreme as one character jokes for the backdrop for this retelling of one of the world's most famous home invaders in all of children's literature. "Aren't the lower class just adorable?" Goldilocks (Jamie Lynn Spears) asks in the third straight-to-DVD family friendly animated Unstable Fables adventure from The Jim Henson Company.
