From the Back Cover

Hansel and Gretel came to life in 1954 as never before, in this kinemin animated feature set to Englebert Humperdinck's classic 1893 opera. Sung by some of the most acclaimed performers of the day, this score was nominated for a Grammy Award. With brilliant imagination and unprecedented technical wizardry-comparable only to Walt Disney's Fantasia-this production uses 35 hand-sculpted dolls and lavish sets to create a fantasy land of unearthly beauty, inhabited by characters of unparalleled charm.
V.I.E.W Video is proud to present this definitive production of Hansel and Gretel. A masterpiece of melodic beauty, whimsical story and magical settings that will delight children and the whole family.

2.0 out of 5 stars An interesting disappointment, Mar 19 2012

This review is from: Hansel & Gretal:Fantasy (DVD)
This film is an attractive re-telling of the children-lost-in-the-woods story. The stop action puppetry is interesting if primitive by present day standards. Not having seen the film in forty years, I was looking forward to a pleasant presentation of the story and music of Humperdink's opera - especially with Anna Russell superbly chosen as the voice of the witch.
The transfer to DVD is DREADFUL. Nothing has been done to clean up a very tired copy of the original used in this transfer. Nothing! Both audio and video are very poor. I wonder if this is the copy I viewed in 1955.

4.0 out of 5 stars Looks like it was dubbed off a VHS tape, Mar 10 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Hansel & Gretal:Fantasy (DVD)
Despite the minimal DVD quality, I love this movie! The animation is neat, the music is beautiful, and it's a lot of fun. There are nice little touches, like the gentle way that Hansel comforts his sister whenever she's afraid, or the way he brushes the dirt off her skirt. All animated, frame by frame. The witch is pure camp comedy, with an "over-the-top" voice to match.
Gretel and her mother BOTH look like "Lost in Space" actress June Lockhart. The witch looks like a combination of Carmen Miranda and Lucille Ball. Now I ask you: how could you NOT love a movie like that?!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible Print - Washed out, faded and soft focus!, Feb 15 2002
By 
T. Mozer (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hansel & Gretal:Fantasy (DVD)
Don't buy it. I have wonderful memories of seeing this film at the movies when I was a child. I loved it so much that I even had the record album. I couldn't wait to get it on DVD to share with my children. What a disapointment! It looks like the same print they showed in the theaters back in the early 1970s. The colors are washed out and faded. Even worse, the image looks soft. I knew this was an old film and I wasn't expecting a "Snow White" quality restoration, but this was so bad that my family and I couldn't even finish watching it.
The dismal quality becomes even more apparent when you watch the "Making Of" promo included on the disc. Filmed in Black & White back in 1953, it looks crisper and sharper than the film itself.
I knew I was in trouble, though, when I opened the DVD case and there wasn't a chapter list inside. I sensed that if View Video (the distributor) didn't care enough about their product to include a chapter list, they wouldn't care about getting the best possible print (let alone striking a new one). And I was right.
Again, despite whatever fond memories you might have of this film, save your money. Don't buy it.
