This may all be a consequence of patched up memories, but I recall a show with fantasy/mythological stories told with string marionettes and possibly stop motion. The intro featured an old man sitting by a fireplace with a dog next to him. A coin would fall down and roll through the floor and down stairs as the camera followed it. Music playing through the intro would be "In the Hall of the Mountain King" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrIYT-MrVaI . Any help finding this show would be great, thanks.
