Info
Hansel and Gretel, tormented by hunger and poverty, are sent away by their mother. They wander around, but are shocked to find that they no longer know their way home. As darkness begins to set in, the Sandman appears. He puts the children to sleep and they are protected by fourteen angels. When they are woken up by the Dew Man the next morning, they see a cake and – hungry as they are – they immediately start eating. The witch to whom the cake belongs discovers both children and locks Hans in a cage to be fattened. Gretel has to help her bake cookies. But when the witch isn’t paying attention, Gretel pushes her into the oven and frees her brother. They are reunited with their happy parents.
