One Halloween night back in the 80's, a version of Hanel and Gretel directed by Tim Burton appeared on the Disney Channel. It only aired once at night and was never seen again. I was just wondering if anyone had seen it or had taped it and owned a copy. I know someone out there has to have seen it or owns it.

Thanks,
Me (Mysterious, huh?)

    I never knew Tim Burton made a "dark" adaptation of Hansel and Gretel. No wonder Disney only aired it once. Sorry pal, I've never heard of it.

      If somebody with a youtube account posts a copy of this, I wonder how long it would last before being deleted?

        Ah, no wonder I've never heard of it or seen it. It was shown in 1982 and I wasn't even born yet. My oldest sister was only a baby so she wouldn't know. I'll have to look this up and give it a look.

          I've heard about people downloading the movie from torrent sites (it's in Spanish however) can anyone verify this?

          I would LOVE to see this movie

            I've searched everywhere but I can't find it. It's so frustrating! I heard Tim Burton was so embarrased by it he burned all copies of the script. Thanks for all the replies so far!

              I don't know about Hansel and Gretel, but I did manage to stumble across this, a clip from Tim Burton's interpretation of Aladdin. Which does give me hope that out there someone still has Hansel and Gretel.

                Here's an interesting overview of Burton's early career-

                It says that Hansel and Gretel was released with another Tim Burton short called Vincent, which YOU CAN FIND ON YOUTUBE-

                          Recently I heard that there was a gingerbread man that forced Hansel to eat him.
