Customer Reviews of Hansel and Gretel: An Opera Fantasy
My Introduction to Opera This still remains one of my favorite movies. Alright, the bad quality of the transfer I'll concede, but the actual movie itself? Entrancing. I guess you could call this the "good parts" version of Hansel and Gretel. It holds the most beautiful of Humperdinck's songs, but there is still a lot of spoken dialogue as well, which is probably a little easier for kids to handle. And yes, Anna Russell is amazingly funny!!
Superb Movie-Definitely Recommend!
I would definitely recommend this movie to children of all ages. It is a great classic and I remember watching it as a child in the mid-80's. This is a movie I am very happy to buy once again!
A childhood favorite of mine!
I recently ordered this DVD. I was surprised when I found out that it had been released on DVD. You have no idea. I went nuts. I used to watch this over and over again when I was younger. My mother had bought a VHS copy of this at Wal Mart. Watched it all the time, and then it accidentally got sold at a yard sale. Don't know how that happened, but it did. Anyways, ever since then, I had always looked for a copy, but could never find one until now.

>This is one of the best children's films ever produced, and the best claymation production ever...well, this and The Nightmare Before Christmas. It may look dated, but we have to remember that it WAS made in the '50s. Anna Russell still cracks me up as the voice of Rosina Rubylips, the witch. The entire vocal cast is excellent! I LOVE THIS FILM!

>The only problem with the DVD is this: It looks as though someone took a VHS and transferred it over to a DVD. The sound isn't that great at times, either. Since this is the only version available at the moment, it will have to do. When (and if) they do finally remaster it and clean it up, I'll buy a new version of it. As of now, I'll settle with this one.

>There is also a ten minute "making of" feature on here. Pretty interesting. If you grew up with this, and you love it like I do, buy it. I don't see any signs of a new DVD version coming out any time soon.
