Hänsel und Gretel

Gaiman’s dark and imaginative take offers a new perspective on the familiar story. I wonder what inspired him to shift the tone and themes this way.

The original fairy tale is already creepy, but Gaiman’s version amplifies that darkness. Would this appeal to children today or be a bit too frightening?

Their personalities felt more fleshed out than in some versions, making their journey feel more personal. Did anyone else connect with their reactions and choices?
