The Brothers Grimm & Hanseldee and Greteldum

The Brothers Grimm is based around a "cursed" town that is stocked by a gigantic wolf and an evil witch with long hair who's locked in a tower rotting of old age. She sends out her Woodsman (the wolf) to kidnapp young girls so that she may once again be young. The wolf then captures a little girl with a red hood, a young blonde head girl named Greta, and four other girls and eventually his own daughter. Then the Brothers Grimm are called to rescue the girls and stop the witch's plan from happening. It was interesting to see how a fairy tale book which was called the Brothers Grimm come to the big screen and be filled with the same characters from that book put into one. Foster says that it is easier to write a story with classical fairy tale characters that we know, so it gives the plot more excitement.

  1. Thia is a good example. The movie would be harder to create a plot without the fairy tale.
