Ray Harryhausen Collection

Early stop-motion model animation for the classic Hansel and Gretel. The main characters are a brother and sister abandoned in a forest, where they fall into the hands of a cannibalistic witch who lives in a house made of gingerbread, cake and pastries. The witch intends to fatten the children before eating them, but Gretel outwits the witch and kills her.

My take

A master class in practical magic—step into the workshop of cinema's greatest stop-motion pioneer. This collection captures the wonder and technical brilliance that shaped how we see monsters, myths, and impossible worlds on screen.
