Why do people have children when they can't afford to take care of them? The children always end suffering and sometimes they're traumatized for life.
the mother isnt being too tough. she's upset! she has a family to feed and there's hardly an food! good god you people who are insulting her! she's under a lot of stress!
Can't blame her stress, she, her husband and children are starving. A lot of people forget how strenuous it is to be poor, and to have nothing. And people take for granted what we have these days.
@princessnahema i don't think she's terrible, i mean the children should respect their mother and try to help her as much as possible and how would you feel if your children makes fun of the soup you try so hard to make with so few ingredients.
I'm so thankful to have a mother that actually loves me & not a mother like Hansel & Gretel's. "Yes children go to bed & if you're lucky you'd never wake up". WTH Bitch? It ain't their fault you can't cook.
I understand Hansel and Gretel are young, but they seem old enough to understand their dilemma and try at least to show respect. Tho' granted the mother is too rough, and the father is too passive.
god ff the mom is so worried about food why wont she go work the streets! or hunt rabbits and birds with their kids or go fishing! stupid bitch they didn't have laws which prevent them from doing so as today..
@mrbelmont2000 David Warner has played villains in several roles (Probably my favorite role of his was when he provided the voice of Ra's al Ghul in 'Batman; The Animated Series'). He was actually the first choice to play Freddy Krueger in the original "Nightmare on Elm Street," but he dropped out due to scheduling conflicts so they replaced him with Robert Englund.
Anyone who says that the mother is a bitch has never lived in that kind of poverty before. Living day after day, never knowing if you're going to have enough food to eat the next day, never having a moment of peace because of always worrying about money. Don't you think that would ware a person's nerves thin enough to make them testy and have them snap easily? I feel really sorry for the mother. She was trying to do the best she could with the little she had.
@sirusbones Yeah, she's a bit short with the kids, but considering how physically and emotionally exhausted she clearly is 24/7, it's understandable that she wouldn't exactly be in the best of moods.
@Adamguy2003 Well, I'm not necessarily excusing her behavior. Some of the stuff that she said and did to the children was highly inappropriate to do to such young children. However, you can understand her reasons for why she did what she did.
@sirusbones been there done that and still doing so. i have three little ones and worry about next meal each day! but never let the kids worry or take it out on them...yeah its hard but keeping kids happy and letting them be kids is part of a parents job. to not let them worry about bad adult issues but to enjoy childhood and life! if she cant handle it then she should just give up kids to the word or work!!! stupid bitch!
@kikyouthekillermiko Well, I commend you on trying to ensure that your children have a normal childhood. However, some people handle stressful situations in ways that aren't exactly the best.
@thisangelbites Yes she does seem really bitter, but did you see how happy and kind she was once they had food? I think she's just tired of starving and watching her family starve with her.
I think the reason so many people still like this (as adults) is the way the family is portrayed- the parents honestly struggling to keep the family income afloat, really loving and worrying about their children (though they show it in different ways).
I'm guessing the story's been uprooted to England, as evidenced by the Punch and Judy show...which isn't a bad thing, although the story was originally set in Germany.
Actually, the Punch and Judy show originated from a skit from the Italian group, the Commedia dell'arte and in the medieval ages, it travelled around mainland Europe, including Germany. So its not necessarily England, where this was set. In real life, the Cannon Movie Tales were all filmed (ironically) in Israel.
the baker creeps me out to the nth degree... is it just me or does he seem a bit too friendly with gretel? he really reminds me of the miller of the reeve's tale in the canterbury tales... trying to cheat people out of their money and their flour... possible classical allusion there?
@BxLxEx18 It's kind of weird that he goes from being so harsh towards the children, to suddenly pretending to be nice to Gretel (Even after she has just seen him ripping off her father).

That neighboring farmer seems like a good guy. I take it his mentioning the missing boy is meant to be foreshadowing about the Witch?
