What about using Aesop's Fable "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"? An EU funded
project (ECHO --- European Cultural Heritage Online) recently put up a BSL
video of that story on http://www.let.ru.nl/sign-lang/echo/ The video
lasts about 2' 30" and roughly 25Mb. I know it's not Golidlocks but the
video forms part of a signed language corpus. Maybe the other indigenous
signed language teams (Swedish and Netherlands) providing material to that
corpus also filmed The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

According to the announcement of the availability of corpus sent out to
the sl-ling list ECHO is committed to "open access". Whether that means
the video clips are copyrighted I don't know but can find out.
