This may well be the definitive production of one of the greatest fairy tales ever told. With brilliant imagination and technical wizardry this 1954 feature used stop-action animation and hand-sculpted dolls and sets to create a fantasy land of unearthly beauty. Set to Englebert Humperdinck's classic 1893 opera, sung by some of the most acclaimed performers of the 1950s, this recording was nominated for a Grammy Award.
Hansel & Gretel: An Opera Fantasy is a masterpiece of melodic beauty, whimsical story and magical settings that will delight children and the whole family.
The kinemen characters took over 15 years to develop. Compounded of intricate armatures a secret chemical mixture for "flesh," human hair, magnetized feet and truly human personalities; they are "exemplary actors," able to duplicate natural movements of the human body, and with a variety of facial expressions that surpass the range of humans.

| Customer Comments | | Reviewer: goga on 11/08/07 |  | | this movie is wonderfull. i remember when i was kid and saw a little. |
| | Reviewer: Bring Back Memories on 12/07/07 | | | When I was a little girl our local movie theater in West Haverstraw, NY would play this movie as part of the Saturday&Sunday movie matinee, around the holidays.One of the neighborhood parents would drop a carload of kids off at the theater and come back for us later. Stores were closed on Sundays and this gave us some entertainment.We looked foward to seeing this movie every year .From the clips I have seen ,the dvd will be more visually detailed versus the movie reels originally played at the theater.It will be a joy to see it again and bring back old memeories. |
