  • If she has all that food to fatten kids up, why not skip all the bloody effort of cooking and wrangling with inner guilt and just eat pies and cookies and whatnot. I'm just thinking out loud here people, there's no wrong answer really.

  • If you think analytically, the step-mother is actually in fact, the witch!

  • the whole house is made out of candy, couldn't they just eat their way out.

  • @theAlchemistfox Were you talking about Hansel eating his way out of the cage? If so, I might be wrong but, maybe the cage door was not made of food but it was made of wood. Or, maybe the cage door was very hard stale food which is why Hansel was unable to eat his way out.

  • @afriendofbean haha, true xD

  • @theAlchemistfox Yes or, maybe the witch put a magic spell on the cage door that nobody would be able to open it except her. Probably Hansel must have tried sticking his hand out of the window to turn the knob to open the door but, the door stayed locked. So maybe once the witch died at the end, the spell was broken where Gretel was able to open the cage door.

  • Where the hell is that old hag getting all that fresh crab?

    Also

    Laughed when she said shed prefer to learn how to read then make kids hearts into gingerbread.

  • That witch is ugly with a capital U

  • the question isnt why he cant eat his way out, it's why dosent he just open the door? The witch came and got the other boy and never used a key when she opened or shut it. Even if it latches from the outside Gretel could have opened it!...I know it's a childrens movie but C'mon MAN!

  • well, Hansel grew up to be such a yummy boy that even I would like to eat all up. LOL

  • Hansel and Gretel: the Original Texas Chainsaw Massascre!

  • its just an old lady with diabetes

  • greedy little murderess.

  • "But I want to learn to read."

    No learning for you, Grethel! Next u'll be having wild fantasies about womens' rights. }:(

  • isn't it weird though? it's a CANDY DUNGEON so can't hansel eat his way out?

  • @DisneyLover022 I wondered the same thing too. My guess is that either the cage door was not made of food (it must have been made of wood) or, the cage door was stale food which was extremely hard which is why Hansel didn't eat his way out.

  • gretel is worm food! heheheee......

  • At 8:11, was Gretel sticking her tongue at Hansel as a way of saying "ha ha, I took a bite of the cream cake and didn't listen to you?"

  • I love her remarkably blasé reaction. "I'm going to eat your brother. Heat up some water for the pot." "k." Wow.

  • when the witch opened the door to take the fat kid out, what would have happened if HAnsel ran out and took gretel with him and the fat kid, hansel and gretel ran off? then what wouild she do?

  • As a witch who might have magical powers, she probably put a spell on the gingerbread gate kids that no child can exit but only enter, and she probably put a spell on the cage door Hansel was trapped in that no child can touch the doorknob to escape while she is alive (only she can touch the doorknob).  I'm guessing this because, maybe Hansel or Gretel tried to touch the doorknob to escape and some magic stopped them or, they tried to escape but the magic on the gingerbread kids stopped them.

  • @afriendofbean I read a comic that showed them with chains fixed to them. I guess that could keep em too. :D

  • @JakobDailes Yes that's true. If the witch put chains on Hansel and Gretel, I'm sure they would feel forced to eat the food the witch gives them.

  • moral * Don't get fat or else the witch will eat you!

  • What little boy wouldnt want to be eaten by Joan Collins?

  • Joan Collins is AWESOME in this!!! "Now that he's eaten, and I've eaten-- you may have your crabshells!" "Go outside and do whatever it is that little children do!...Get out!" She's the ultimate in evil bitch mom. It's great. I used to watch her as a little gayboy and think how cool her "witch" was. Still hasn't changed.

  • I think Hansel is small enough to fit through the window

  • I love the sexual overtones. She locks up the boys to fatten so she can fulfill her appetite for "boy flesh" while making Gretel help. She even offers offers Gretel some of the fat boy. I love the way the fat boy never has a name. He's just "boy".

  • @dirkmcdonald wow. I think you definitely over thought that one or just have a really dirty mind.

  • @dirkmcdonald what sexual overtones? LOL! I don't see what you mean! 

  • at 0:32 why doesnt he just kick the door out, the door looks so weak, id kick that door out with one kick!!

  • I love those lines the Witch says: "I am going to eat him because that is what witches like to do. They like to EAT little boys and girls. And since that is what I like to do, that is what I am going to do. Now, as far as eating my house is concerned, I agree that it was rude, but that’s why I built in the first place, to entice greedy little boys and girls like you."

  • why doesn't Gretal let her brother out and they make a run for it??

  • Yes. She should have done that, especially since the witch was holding Gretel responsible for bringing the food to Hansel while the witch sometimes stayed inside where Gretel could have pretended she gives the food to Hansel and then secretly release him. Unless maybe she tried to secretly release him but unfortunately, the witch might have put a magic spell on the gingerbread gate kids so no kid can exit but only enter. However, once the witch died, the magic spell must have disappeared.

  • She most be certainly a very good cook

  • greedy kids needs to cook not be eaten

  • cant he reach his arm and unlock the door?

  • that poor, poor boy! 3:16

  • I agree. I felt sad for that boy that the witch was dragging him to eat him. However, I thought maybe he could have pulled his arm away from her since she is a senior citizen witch on a cane where maybe she doesn't have too much strength as a senior citizen witch.

  • Also, I felt sad for Hansel from 0:12-0:30 as the witch was dragging him to the cage. I especially felt sad that he probably felt that he was out of heaven since before him and Gretel fell asleep in the bed, Hansel told Gretel that he imagines that the witches home feels like they're in heaven.

  • good memries!! but lookig at it couldn't Hensel go through the mini window -_-

  • GOODTIMES !!!

  • I used to watch Faerie Tale Theater on Showtime when it first aired. Joan Collins is so unrecognizable as the witch!

  • that jail hole is so big he can just crawl out lol

  • @qbthething -- I know that's what I was thinking. I would crawl out and wait until my sister came out to feed me-- then grab her and run! lol.

  • the witch is not even cutting the pumpkin pie! that is so cheasy!

  • "Please don't eat my brother." LMAO

  • wow. memories.

  • hahah awesome

  • cool

  • that door looked really weak where she put hanzel lol

  • fuck that, I would have ate that food,shit, that food looked good lmao

  • whats really sad is that those kids are always saying things like "we must have been bad kids" and "did we do something wrong"

  • I'm thinking she's gonna need more batter than that to fill that gingerbread mold.

  • @nyc11104 Kids are just people. Just because they are of a younger age doesn't make them any better or any worse then anyone else. Kids can be more cruel then any adult could even imagine. Kids pick on anything thats smaller then them like animals or other kids, so I think picking on kids is OK. One time I saw like four kids no older then six trying to stone a bird to death, and they were laughing. They knew what they were doing too. Ikky.

  • Shes a witch dumass. She knows stuff.

  • u are

  • 0:47 fat ass

  • @spotdathief LOL! If that witch was ever at the Target in my area, she would think she died and went to heaven cos the kids there are FAT!

  • o_O

  • I would be a good witch living in a mushroom!!! And I would have an outfit simmilar to gretels! Instead of eating them I would shelter them in a four story mushrooom!!!! =)

  • I used to love watching this when I was a kid. I borrowed it from the library countless times. Now I am detecting hidden messages about child obesity.

  • @Tkuebrich Me too! I used to borrow this and other FaTaTh moviesfrom my local library. About the child obesity I definitely believe on that.

  • That scene where Hansel sees he's not alone in that cage...GAH!

  • I guess that boy surprised Hansel or Hansel was scared thinking that the boy was on the witches side.

    I'm sure that boy was probably a lot more hungrier than Hansel or Hansel was more smarter than him because, that boy was eating the food the witch gave him when he should have known that the witch was trying to make him fat. (I'm not sure but, it looks like the boy was either eating popcorn or a sandwich).

  • How did the witch know Hansel and Gretel's names since they never told her their names? I know that Hansel said Gretel's name while they were in the witch's bed (the witch must have listened to Hansel secretly as she was looking outside through her broken window that Gretel ate) but, Gretel didn't say Hansel's name. Or maybe I wonder that the reason why the witch knew their names because, since she's a witch, she must have magic powers to read minds and out of magic, she knew their names.

  • Perhaps they told her their names when they first entered the house, which we never saw.

  • Yes, I was just thinking that they told her their names as soon as she invited them in or, they must have told her their names when they were sitting and eating at the table. (I guess the directors and producers of this story should have made a spot to show the audience when they were introducing themselves to the witch).

  • Well, these things go unshowed sometimes.

  • THANK YOU!!! I have been wanting to see these stories again since I was a child!!!

  • I always wanted to live in a house made of gingerbread when I was young but then I realized that as nice as a gingerbread house would be, it probably would have been pooped on by birds, eaten by squirrels, and attract the most ardent rodent admirers

  • lol

  • where'd the crab shells come from in the middle of the forest?

  • i used 2 love this whn i was young!

    seeing them eat made me so hungry...i guess thats y i was a fat kid =(

  • I agree. Every time I see Hansel and Gretel eating some of the witches house made me hungry where I would love to eat some of that house too. (The only thing I wonder is what that window was made of that Gretel broke and ate. Maybe it was either made of graham cracker or, a piece of pie crust since the witch was going to fix the window with a pie which she mentioned from 6:33-6:38).

  • I know this is a strange question but, from 2:00-2:02, was Gretel smiling or was she scared since the witch cornered her to the wall and was talking about eating humans?

  • I couldn't understand but, what was the witch saying to Hansel from 0:19-0:28 when she was taking him to the cage? (I'm not sure whether I'm right or wrong but, it sounded like she was saying "scream all you like, your sister can do nothing for you and there is no way around, get inside.")

  • she say's "scream all you like, scream all you like Hansel, your sister can do nothing for you, and there is no one around to hear your cries, get in there boy"

  • Thank you. Now that I listen carefully I can hear the witch saying that to Hansel.

    I know when she brought him outside, she was holding him by the arm. Since she was holding him by the arm, I guess Hansel should have pulled his arm away from her since she is an old and probably weak witch.

    (I wasn't sure what she meant when she said that Gretel couldn't do anything for him at all when she's told to bring the food to him, and she could have secretly released him, as you mentioned).

  • omg i have been looking for this for ages, i use to watch this as a little kid, where can i get the full movie???

  • This is the Full Movie...I found SOME Fairie Tale Theatre Shows on DVD @ Walgreens for $5...I got Goldilock & 3 Bears..& LIttle Red Riding Hood...I WISH they had ALL of THEM..I went to quite a few walgreens looking for more.

  • thanks i love this heart to batter batter to heart

    deaths a treat so sweat to it ahh perfect

  • OMG FaTaTh THANK YOU I FINALLY FOUND THE HANSEL AND GRETEL THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS MOVIE I SAW IT WHEN I WAS LIKE 7 AND SINCE THEN I WAS TRYING TO LOOK FOR IT TO WATCH IT REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES :D THANK YOU NOW IM GOING TO PUT IT ON MY IPOD TO WACTH IT AND REMEMBER THE TIME WHEN I WAS LITTLE :D THANK YOU

  • lol when i was lil this gave me nightmares..but now it seems silly. especially the witch with the big nose lol

  • I remember seeing this as a kid. Gave me nightmares for a long time. Looking at it now it is pretty silly.

  • does any one know if this was the version showed on channel 4 late 80s early 90s? it looks familiar.

  • Wow, I never saw a Hansel and Gretel as dark as this, especially about the child's heart at 4:55 and the fat kid who was eaten alive

  • What is it with Germans and ovens?

  • @dsperlin I know, right!

  • i love this witch. She's hilarious

  • I agree...Always been my favorite villain!

  • Rumpelstilkin was mine! Although he is not the father type

  • "Please don't eat my brother!" ha ha ha : D

  • Oh my god.... what a horrible story. As an adult, I"m seeing this an entirely different way, and I'm way more scared of it now than I was as a child.

  • Okay, so the witch obviously lives in the middle of nowhere. So where on earth is she getting ingredients to make ALL of that food?

  • "In you go little fat boy!" -- said the old witch.

    LOL

  • Maybe i'm mistunderstanding.

    But the Witch is only eating young boys,

    the girls are going to work for her as slaves

  • Actually no, at the end as soon as the witch was pushed into the oven and died and turned into a gingerbread, all the kids turned back from gingerbread cookies back to human kids, and some of the kids were girls. So I'm sure the witch has eaten both boys and girls.

    The only thing I wonder is that, I wonder why she didn't lock Gretel into the cage with Hansel, then she could've made both Hansel and Gretel fat without either one of them causing any problems or danger towards herself.

  • That boy chubby boy :( he got eaten.

  • I'd rather learn to read.

  • There's work to be done...BROTHA!

  • I've always been partial to the Cannon Movie Tales version with Cloris Leachman as the Witch.

  • This may sound stupid but why didn't they just eat their way out of the cage?

  • hahahahaha TRUE!...

  • No, it's not a stupid question. It's a very good question (I wondered the same thing when I was very young). Maybe the kids tried eating their way out of the cage (including Hansel) but, the cage door and that side of the house where the cage was, was not made of food or, the cage door and that side of the house was stale and extremely hard food where none of the kids, (including Hansel) couldn't eat their way out of the cage.

  • That whole turkey gone to waste!!! This movie makes me hungry!

  • dumb kid buried all the dishes with the food. Doesnt she think the witch is gonna start to wonder why she has no dishes left?

  • what the hell. how are is it to open the damn cage door and kick the old bitch in the crotch

  • Man if I was Gretel I'd say, "B**ch, you better not fall asleep tonght.. You got me so darn hungry eating these stupid crab shells, I just might eat YOU!" lol

  • the witch is hot??? where do you live???lol

  • Ha ha Crab shells!!!!

  • This story always made me hungry every time I watched it. By the way,why didn't Hansel just eat through the ginger bread in the cage?

  • Maybe it wasn't edible on the inside.

  • Yeah, it looks like it's made out of wood in there.

  • Obviously.

  • dude, just push the door open and make a run for it

  • If Hansel escaped, the Witch would know and she would easily go after him.

  • Dude, she's like a million years old! lol. No way she can run faster than a kid. But I think the reason niether of them tried to run, is because they knew their brother/sister would be left behind.

  • But she could use her magic!

  • Another reason why they didn't run away is because from 6:45-6:51 the witch said to Gretel that there is no one around to get help from while the witch was pointing a knife to her. Also, with the witch pointing the knife to her, she was saying to Gretel, "if you or Hansel escape or try to escape, I will chase you and kill you with this knife." I guess with the witch pointing the knife to Gretel, it probably scared her which is why she and Hansel didn't try to escape.

  • bahaha

    "..just ONE cream puff...?"

    "NO we mustn't get fat!"

  • "i'd rather learn to read" lol :)

  • man that witch it soooo hot! lol

  • hahahaahahaha she ate that one kid bone and all in like a minute.

  • LMAO I FORGOT ABOUT THE CRAB SHELLS!

  • LMFAO oh man this must have warped the mines of so many little kids. The moral of the story being if you talk to strangers kids they'll EAT YOU! Lucky I was always a lot older then my real age and saw through this stuff for what it is and that's FUCKING KOOKY!

  • Can you please upload little red riding hood?
