It's a time for fairy tales Magical kingdoms in the sun Come along,

come along Meet friendly elves

and witches too In the world of fairy tales Enchanted castles wait for you

Come along, come along To where life is a fantasy And every story ends so happily

This is the place where dreams come true A world of fairy tales for you Once upon a time,

in a far -off land And a blight fell on the fields of wheat, and starvation threatened the people.

A woodcutter, who had come in search of wheat for his family, turned sadly away for the long journey home.

The fields were completely ruined.

It was a terrible sight to see.

What's to become of us, wife?

How are we ever going to be able to feed our dear little children?

We can't.

There's barely enough for the two of us.

Husband, listen to me.

It is not my intention to die of starvation.

We'll take them for a walk in the forest, make sure they don't come back.

What?

Unbelievable!

I won't allow you to even think such a thing!

No reason to get upset, dear.

Of course I was only joking.

I wouldn't do anything to harm my dear little stepchildren.

Although I will admit they could show me a little more affection than they do.

I'm the soul of kindness to Hansel and Gretel, a perfect stepmother.

Be about your business, then, and leave me to do mine.

Somehow I shall find food to fill our stomachs.

And if I don't, we'll all starve together.

Where are we going, stepmother?

We're on our way to look for wild strawberries, and I want you two brats to help me, so be quiet.

let's rest here before we go on will the two of

you quit whining i know those strawberries are around here somewhere

and i'm going to go find them you wait here very well stepmother

it's just as i feared we've been deserted in the forest She hopes the wild animals will get us, that we'll be food for them.

Yes.

We're saved!

Saved by the silvery moon!

Look!

Huh?

The road!

The road is sparkling!

Uh -huh.

See?

I knew that we couldn't trust her, so I was ready.

I made a trail of these rocks that I picked up in the garden.

Oh!

Our father's going to be worried.

Hurry!

Well, well, now that those two brats are finally gone, only us to feed.

Good, we're back.

I don't understand this.

How in the world did the two of you ever find your way out of that forest?

I was so sick with worry about you, I wasn't able to eat my meager supper.

So, did you bring back any berries?

No. We were too involved in finding our way back home.

We're ever so sorry.

Now, as your punishment, you won't get any supper.

Go to bed.

Where's father, ma 'am?

Hmm, he's going to be away for just a little while.

He's a family man, I'll give him that.

He went to visit a friend who might have some flour for us.

Your father could be gone for a long while, so it's going to be just the three of us.

Are you going to sleep all day?

Today you're going to go and get the wild strawberries that you didn't bring back yesterday.

But the weather, it's so very dry, I don't think we'll be able to find any strawberries.

That is because you don't know how to look for them.

Now back into the woods, the both of you!

You'll probably need the whole day, you're so slow.

This bread has to last you until we eat again.

Now don't drag your heels.

I'll be right there.

You had better get a move on, Hansel.

I'm warning you.

Yes.

Stay right behind us.

You two look around here.

I'll go look that way.

Be sure to keep looking.

I want that basket full.

Yes, ma 'am.

We've been led a lot further into the woods than we were yesterday, Gretel.

Were you able to bring anything today to show us the way back home, Hansel?

I marked the way with the loaf of bread that our stepmother gave us, Gretel.

You might just as well eat the last piece.

It's a good idea.

We will simply pick it up and eat it as we go back home.

See?

Oh, how very clever you are, Hansel.

Yes, you're right.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

You thief!

I'll teach you.

They ate it all up.

The bread is gone completely.

What do we do?

How will we ever find our way back home?

We better just head back and try our best.

Come on. Be strong, Gretel.

I'm so tired.

Me too.

We're lost.

I'm very hungry.

Yes.

And more than that, I'm beginning to shiver from the cold.

Good weather for strawberries.

I'm back early.

Where are the children?

The children, well, they went outside to play, and I haven't seen them since.

Oh, husband, I've been so worried about them.

You're a wicked, wicked woman.

Where are my children?

Husband, I'm sorry.

I didn't imagine you'd be back so soon with food for all of us.

That's all.

Gretel.

Phil, hold on.

Tansel!

Tansel, save me!

Tansel, save me!

Tansel, save me!

Gretel, wake up.

We are alive.

I wonder where we are, Gretel.

Hansel, look at that bird.

Isn't it beautiful?

I've never seen a bird like that before.

Gretel, that bird is too beautiful not to belong to someone.

Its honor surely lives nearby.

Oh, that means that he wants us to follow.

He's landing, Gretel.

What a beautiful house, Hansel.

Yes, come on, let's go see if we can go inside.

Wow!

Hansel, is it really real?

Yes, a house made entirely of good things to eat.

Candy cane posts and, upon my word, sponge cake walls.

These have a lovely smell.

Biscuits fresh from the oven.

It's amazing we found our strawberries at last.

The roof's decorated with strawberries and cream.

So, there doesn't seem to be anyone around.

We're alone.

Oh, just one little bite.

One bite.

Just one little bite.

Let's eat.

Yum, yum.

The more, the more delicious.

You're a piggly wiggly.

With both your hands full of goodies, you're a fine one to talk.

Yes, you're right.

Oink. Who is there?

Children, my magic house is all over your face.

Yes, I too like good things to nibble on.

It's been many and many a year since I had the pleasure of little children.

I mean the pleasure of a visit.

Why don't you come inside and make a sweet old lady happy?

All in favor?

Mm -hmm.

Oh, Hansel roasts turkey with all the trimmings and bunches of bananas and juicy apples.

There's fresh -baked bread and milk.

I've never seen such a wonderful feast in my entire life.

Stop, children, and please, no holding back.

Yay!

Drumstick.

Slice of white meat.

Oh, Hansel, it's all so wonderful.

I really like it here.

You really are a sweet old lady.

We'll do whatever we can to show our appreciation.

How very sweet of you.

I could use some help around the place.

My eyes.

They've become so terribly weak.

Stay here tonight.

There's plenty of room.

And tomorrow I shall make you even more delicious things to eat.

I'll be, but that bird's the same beautiful bird as before.

Good recipe!

It's been many years since I cooked up a live human child.

My tummy can't wait!

And it was you who brought them to me.

Please help!

That woman's a witch!

You saw me!

Gretel!

Gretel!

Wake up!

Wake up!

We've got to flee.

That woman is a witch.

Hurry!

It's no use.

It won't open.

You've had your feast.

Now it's my turn.

No!

Come on, Brittle!

You'll never get away!

You're too funny!

Oh, no!

Oh, Brittle!

Something smells splendidly delicious!

Give in!

You haven't got a chance!

Huh?

Huh?

Get away!

There's no end to my power!

Go hide, I'll make her chase me!

Hey, catch me if you can!

Riddle!

I knew you were there.

Huh?

What a bony arm.

In these big old ears, you sounded like a reasonably plump boy.

Huh?

I prefer my little children nice and meaty.

Before I put you in the boiling water, I'm going to fatten you up.

Gretel!

Gretel, you are going to be my cheap cooking bottle washer for the rest of your life.

Now go and fetch water from the well.

More food.

Eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight,

eight Here.

Ah, it smells very delicious already.

Huh?

Huh?

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

A bag of food!

You aren't ready for the cook pot!

Ah!

You had better fatten yourself up quickly!

Ah!

Ah!

He -he -he!

Oh, boy, oh, boy, what a clever idea that is.

I wish now I'd learn to use the tools better.

I'll be happy to help you, Hansel.

Plenty of good food to build up your energy.

Quick, run.

Hurry.

What are those most horrible noises in my big ears?

They are certainly not those of a little boy eating.

Sounds well.

My teeth, they grind badly.

Noisy teeth!

When I had my teeth, they never made such unpleasant noises.

You had teeth?

Huh?

What is that that I smell?

You're hiding gradually here, aren't you?

Run!

It's no use, Hansel.

There's no place to run to.

Now you're using your head.

There is no escape, is there?

Hmm?

Ah, the badly grinding teeth.

I'll teach you a lesson, young lady.

A lesson you'll not forget!

I won't let you hurt my sister!

Let go of my throat!

Huh?

Is that your arm?

Plenty of feet on the boy's body at last!

She's going to eat me!

You've been playing tricks, eh?

The oil seems to be just about perfect.

Is the oven ready?

Are you planning to bake cookies or me?

Why me?

Put a nice little girl in a nice hot oven.

I'm allergic to fire.

Don't be afraid of the flames, my dear.

How could you possibly think that I'd want to dine on a roasted human girl child?

Let me go in there.

You're dead.

I beg you, please put me down.

The oven's ready, my pretty.

Come and get me.

Oh, I can hardly wait.

I win!

Come on, Riddle!

Let's go!

It's all over now, Cradle.

Huh?

Oh, I know where we are, Hansel.

This is the pond where Father used to always bring us to play.

You're absolutely right, Gretel.

We are back home.

Our nightmare is really over.

Oh, my children are back.

Papa, oh, Papa.

Oh, I'm so happy to see you and to know that you are safely home again.

Where's stepmother?

Children, your stepmother has abandoned us, but truthfully, we're better off because of it.

My marrying her was one of the worst mistakes I ever made.

But let's not talk about her anymore.

The good news is, because of all the rain, we're going to have a fine harvest this year.

The bad experiences are behind us forevermore.

Oh, father.

And they all lived happily ever after.
