In both the MGM version and the original Grimm tale, it follows the tale of Hansel Gretel and showing their journey into the woods and finding the gingerbread house of the witch. In both versions, you can see the closeness of the siblings and how they want to make sure each other is safe. In the end, Gretel ends up saving them both from the witch. In both versions, the mother sends them away in the forest but with completely different intentions. In the tale, the stepmother sends the siblings away to make food last longer in the household. In the film, she tells the children to pick berries and to not come home empty-handed. The children wandered into the woods and followed the voices to the house of the witch.
This is a personal blog for my First Year Seminar, Grimm to Disney, which I will post blogs about my readings throughout the course.
