The playful 2004 television version of Once Upon a Mattress brings everything full circle for Carol Burnett, who played klutzy Princess Winnifred, would-be fiancee of royal mama's boy Prince Dauntless, in the original 1959 Broadway cast production of the musical (as well as 1964 and 1972 television adaptations). In the new show, Burnett now essays the role of Dauntless's control-freak mom, Queen Aggravain, and is very funny in the part. An Oedipal nightmare, Aggravain is in no hurry to let the prince act his adult age, chasing off prospective wives (and queens-in-training) by putting them through unbeatable tests. Along comes Winnifred (Tracey Ullman, who manages the physically demanding role quite nicely), who turns the kingdom on its head with her goofy charm, sets Dauntless's heart aflame, and poses a serious threat to Aggravain's plans. The fun supporting cast in this tuneful take on "The Princess and the Pea" includes Tom Smothers as King Sextimus, the mute monarch who manages to impart wisdom, Zooey Deschanel as pregnant Lady Larken, who helps bring Winnifred to the castle, and Denis O'Hare (21 Grams) as the boyish Dauntless. --Tom Keogh

Where has this been? It's been out for five years and I never knew it existed. It great, very entertaining and well performed. However, I'm surprised that the show is cut considering how identified Carol Burnett is with this show. I saw a UCLA production a few years back that was directed by Ms. Burnett that was extremely faithful to the original so I'm surprised she agreed to the changes. Maybe this was due to the Disney release which basically cut some of the racier (and funnier)stuff. Oh ... Read More

Disney brings the 1959 off-Broadway-to-Broadway hit retelling of The Princess and the Pea back to the small screen with their 2005 feature adaptation of "Once Upon a Mattress", and if you're a fan of musical fairytales at all, you should be fully delighted by it! Carol Burnett is back in the cast too, only now she takes up the role of controlling Queen Aggravain, who refuses to accept any princesses vying for her son's hand as worthy to marry the not-getting-any-younger prince. Denis O'Hare plays ... Read More

Going to Amazon sure beats going to any local stores. I can wait a few days for the good prices.

Once Upon a Mattress
Very focussed on making Carol Burnett (The Queen) the star, when the PRINCESS is the star of the show in the original stage production. However, good acting, great scenery and costumes - pity some of the original funny dialogue from the other characters and some songs were cut to make Ms. Burnett look good!
Disappointing
Rating: -
Excellent theatric style performance. Allows drama students the opportunity to view theater style action while watching a film. The story is the same which is nice and easy to follow. Fun to see Carol Burnett in the role as the Queen vs the princess. I prefer her original work as the princess as that was her catalyst to fame. Tracy Ullman was outstanding and I didn't see enough of Tommy Smothers.
