00:00.
00:00.
00:34The story of Hansel and Gretel comes from a German collection of folk and fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm.
00:41Hansel and Gretel are children deserted by their wicked stepmother. They use their wits to escape the clutches of a
00:47greedy witch who tries to fatten them up before eating them. The idea of people defeating greed and evil with
00:54courage and intelligence has appealed to readers for centuries.
01:03A woodcutter lived in a forest in Germany with his two children. Sadly, the children's mother was dead. Their stepmother
01:12did not love them, and they were all going hungry.
01:16Listen to me, husband.
01:18Hmm? Yes? Uh, what is it, my dear?
01:22I've been thinking. If we share our food with Hansel and Gretel, there just won't be enough for anyone. So
01:28we'll all die.
01:30What?
01:31That means we should keep all the food for ourselves. It makes sense.
01:37It makes sense? Have you gone batty?
01:41Here's what you should do. Take Hansel and Gretel deep into the woods and leave them there. Give them each
01:50a crust of bread, but leave them there.
01:52Good idea. Good idea, huh?
01:55Well, it's a crazy idea, and I don't want you talking about it anymore. You're scaring the children.
02:03Now, I have to be gone a few days, and while I'm gone, I expect you, my dear wife, to
02:11be their mother and see that nothing happens to them. Do you understand?
02:18Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Of course, dear. It still makes sense.
02:26Goodbye, Hansel. Goodbye, Gretel. You be good children now, and I'll be back in two days.
02:34Bye-bye, Papa. We'll miss you. Hurry back.
02:40Leave us in the woods all night? She wouldn't dare.
02:43Remember, Gretel, be brave and keep your eyes open. I've got a plan.
02:54Here's some more pebbles, Hansel. This should be enough, huh?
02:58Uh-oh.
03:00Hey, you two, come over here now. We're going for a little walk.
03:06The stepmother took Hansel and Gretel deep into the woods.
03:10All along the way, Hansel dropped a trail of white pebbles.
03:19Now, wait right here. I'm going to go chop some wood.
03:24Please, stepmother, don't leave us.
03:27You heard me. Stay there.
03:32She... she left us.
03:34I told you so.
03:36Now what?
03:38Be brave and keep your eyes open.
03:40I hate it when you say that.
03:44Look, the trail of pebbles we left behind.
03:46If we follow them, we'll find our way back home.
03:48Come on, let's go.
03:56How did you get back?
03:59Out you go.
04:01No, out.
04:02No, wait.
04:04Please don't send us into the forest without anything.
04:08Hmm.
04:09Very well.
04:13Here's a crust of bread for you, Hansel.
04:16And a blanket for you, Gretel.
04:19Now let's go.
04:22Once again, the stepmother took Hansel and Gretel deep into the forest.
04:27Hansel had no more pebbles.
04:29So this time, he dropped bits of breadcrumbs to mark their way back home.
04:34Again, the stepmother left the children.
04:37And again, the children began retracing their way back home.
04:41But as they followed the trail of breadcrumbs...
04:45Huh?
04:46Hansel, look!
04:48Those birds are eating all the breadcrumbs!
04:50Shoo, shoo, get away!
04:52Shoo!
04:53Oh, Hansel, the breadcrumbs are all gone!
04:56Uh-oh.
04:57Now we're really lost.
05:00Hansel, I'm cold.
05:03It'll be dark soon.
05:05What now?
05:06I guess we'll have to wait through the night and try to find our way back in the morning.
05:22What's that?
05:25I think it's a wolf.
05:28Maybe it's a bear.
05:31Whatever it is, it's going away.
05:54Oh, my, Hansel, look!
05:57Wow, what is it?
05:58Oh, it's beautiful.
06:01Let's get a closer look.
06:03Oh, my, Hansel, look!
06:06It looks like candy!
06:08I'm going to try some.
06:09Me too!
06:13Yum, this is gingerbread.
06:15Mmm, with candy in between!
06:18Yum, yum!
06:19A whole house made out of gingerbread and candy.
06:22Oh!
06:26Huh?
06:27Well, hello, my little darlings.
06:32Welcome to my house.
06:35Who are you?
06:36Who are you?
06:37Me?
06:37I'm just the old woman who lives in this gingerbread house.
06:41Come in, children.
06:42Come in.
06:43I have an especially sweet dinner waiting inside for you.
06:48We don't talk to strangers.
06:51Come on, Gretel.
06:52She seems nice.
06:53And I'm really hungry.
06:56That's right, child.
06:58And it's right over there.
06:59Everything you like to eat.
07:01Oh, wow!
07:02Cookies and strawberry pie!
07:04My favorites!
07:05Yippee!
07:07Hansel, don't!
07:08Ah!
07:10Ah!
07:11Ah!
07:12Hey!
07:13This is the cage!
07:14Open up!
07:15Let me out!
07:15Ah!
07:16You let him out!
07:18Ah!
07:18I may not see very well, but I know how to get what I want.
07:22And what I want is children's stew!
07:26Ah!
07:27Ha ha!
07:28Ah!
07:29Ha ha ha ha ha!
07:32For the next few days, the children remained the prisoners of the witch while she fattened
07:38them for her stew.
07:40They had all they could eat, especially Hansel, because the witch liked to eat plump little
07:47boys best of all.
07:49One night, Hansel couldn't sleep.
08:01Hansel, are you crying?
08:03No, no.
08:06Well, stop it.
08:07It makes me feel funny.
08:09You always said be brave, remember?
08:12But there's nothing I can do.
08:15I'm in a cage.
08:20Then, I'll have to be brave for both of us.
08:29Gretel, come along now.
08:31You must help me prepare the oven so I can cook you.
08:35Um, so I can cook this big pot of porridge for you and Hansel.
08:39Ha ha ha ha!
08:41Ah, could you clean away that burnt crust way?
08:46Back in the oven?
08:49It's way in the back.
08:51Go on.
08:52Uh, I don't know how.
08:54Of course you do.
08:56Just climb in.
08:57How?
08:58Show me.
08:59Then I'll do it.
09:00Huh?
09:01You're a stupid girl, aren't you?
09:04Like this.
09:05You crawl in like...
09:07Uh-huh.
09:09Ha ha ha ha ha.
09:10You're trying to trick me into the oven instead of you, huh?
09:14Well, you're the one going in the oven.
09:17Ha ha ha ha!
09:17No, no!
09:19Ha ha ha!
09:21Oh, children's too, children's too, nothing better than...
09:26Huh?
09:28You come back here!
09:31You little boy!
09:34Gretel, get the key for the cage!
09:55Gretel, get the key for the cage!
10:06I've changed my mind. I like being children's stew. Mmm, mmm, won't I taste yummy?
10:14Oh, yes. Oh, yes. That's a good girl.
10:22Now, we'll just put you right into the oven.
10:28Yes, yes.
10:32Oh, children's stew, children's stew, and nothing better than children's stew.
10:38Huh? I don't smell any girl cooking. Huh?
10:45Oh, it's hot in here, witchy. I'm cooking real good.
10:50Now, something's wrong. I should smell you cooking.
10:54Oh, parsley and dill. I forgot the parsley and dill. I better check.
11:02Yeah, that's it.
11:05I don't see any parsley or dill in here with me.
11:09Oh, that's hot. Now, let's see here. What could be the...
11:16Huh? Where'd she go?
11:19I'm right behind you, witchy.
11:22Yeah!
11:30Close the ledge, Hansel!
11:33You saved your lives, Gretel!
11:36Watch out! Let's get out of here!
11:42Oh!
11:45Oh!
11:45Oh!
11:49Oh!
11:50Oh!
11:52Oh!
12:05She's dead.
12:07Hansel!
12:07Gretel!
12:08Gretel!
12:09Papa!
12:10Papa!
12:11Papa!
12:12And so Hansel and Gretel were reunited with their father.
12:18As for the stepmother, well, after the woodcutter found out what she had done, he sent her away.
12:25She was never heard from again.
12:28From then on, Hansel and Gretel and their father lived happily together.
12:33They were still poor, but their father always found work, and so they never went hungry again, and never, ever
12:44ran out of candy.
12:49Soon, his dad was more and still daughter beingé”ė”.
12:57Little's his child was married, but he used to beCoS.
12:58Close the shorten up over there.
12:58And to the house, he and his family were dead, and never moved out.
13:01But at times, let's get to age.
13:01Once this is still in the upper corner!
13:01And to the house is always the most kind of thing to say.
13:01Here your father is told him, I would say another little boy!äæŗ
13:03are old man. And
13:11he's a little man. I'm
13:11always sure he thinks he'd Incorporated than him in her. Ones
13:14ones are smiling, Eury.
