Review by Scumbalina ★★★½
Lately I've been buying a lot of kids tapes, mostly cartoons. Especially if they have weird bootleg artwork featuring a crooked ass Felix the Cat or an emotionally confused Caspar the Friendly Ghost. This has lead me to end up with many mystery videos, and what could be more exciting than that? I found this Hansel and Gretel tape at a thrift store and the cover was totally amazing and borderline psychedelic (not pictured). There were no credits at all, and the only date seemed to be the year it was manufactured. I bought it if for nothing else than to satisfy the curiosity. No credits at the beginning of the film, it looked 50's to me, and was dubbed…

Review by jimmydiegrille ★★½
Ich erlag dem trugschluss dass dies eine DEFA Produktion wäre dies hatte ich auch bei der sucheingabe bei Amazon eingegeben doch bedient wurde ich mit einem Schonger Film
Das waren noch Zeiten als der Sohn dem Vater die Pfeife reichte
Hier wurde einiges im Märchen umgestellt z.b gehen die Kinder freiwillig zur Hexe die Eltern wollen die Kinder auch gar nicht loswerden später ist es dann doch so dass ich die Eltern umentscheiden aber da ist es der Vater und nicht die Stiefmutter wie eigentlich im Märchen also wie gesagt hier ist einiges anders gemacht worden
Wo kommt denn dieser super echte Bär nur her
Die Hexe wirkt authentisch schaurig
Die große goldene Leiter umrahmen von schwarzer Finsternis die gefühlt…

Review by Warren ★★★½
Viewed this as a English dubbed VHS from 1988. It's a German production, so the dubbing makes it feel surreal, as if even the sounds of the world are out of sync. The feature on the tape had no opening credits, which made it even more mysterious.
The movie has some really fun sets and effects. There are lots of jump cut tricks, making things appear magically. There are also some weird little puppeted things, as well as some stop motion inanimate objects, these all occurring in the home of the witch, who was very entertainingly portrayed. She cackles constantly, calling the girl a "lazy bones" incessantly, while asking the boy if he's fat yet about as many times.
I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to. It must be time to dig into mid-century children's fantasy films.

Review by PacificNil ★★★★
"Hänsel und Gretel" ist das erste Märchen der Schongerfilm, das in Farbe gedreht wurde und nutzt dieselbe für für eine ausgeklügelte Farbdramaturgie. Besonders das Hexenhaus ist eine Orgie des Kitsches, noch süßlicher als die Lebkuchen, mit denen es ausgekleidet ist und übertrifft selbst die Madonna-Inn-Hotels. Der recht kurze Film lässt die Kinder sich nur 10 Minuten bei der Hexe aufhalten, die sich anfangs harmlos-großmütterlich verhält, dann aber in unerträglichem Befehlston die Kinder zur Arbeit verpflichtet. Ausgedehnt auf eine halbe Stunde wärs schon ein Horrorfilm, der nicht mehr für Kinder geeignet ist. Sobald die Hexe im Ofen verbrennt, zerfällt das Hexenhaus, das Haus des Kitsches, in eine chaotische Trümmerlandschaft, die sich mit den Hexenhauskellern aus Dario Argentos "Inferno" (1980) messen kann…

Review by David Turgay ½
Everything in this movie is terrible. The acting, the production design, the effects, the music and, most of all, the creepy snowman.
