Hansel and Gretel

About This Movie

So, there's this 2020 animated take on the classic Hansel and Gretel tale. It's got this dark, eerie vibe that really leans into the horror elements. The animation is quite striking, with a gritty aesthetic that contrasts with the traditional storybook look we often see. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, which adds to the unsettling atmosphere. The themes of loss and survival are explored deeply. I found the practical effects interesting, giving it a tactile feel despite being animated. The performances, especially of the voices, bring a compelling weight to the characters. Overall, it’s a unique spin that doesn't shy away from the darker aspects of the fairy tale.
