The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm

This charming film weaves together the dramatized lives of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm with colorful reenactments of three of their classic fairy tales: "The Dancing Princess," "The Cobbler and the Elves," and "The Singing Bone." It’s a delightful journey into the magic behind the stories.
