Another twisted tale in the canon of the Brothers Grimm. This time, the "wicked stepmother" (in the original, it was their real mother) convinces the "loving father" to abandon their children in the winter woods. And the moral of the tale: "Abandon your children to starve and they will return with treasures"? Enjoy the wonderful animation and narration by actor Bastian Pastewka.

This wonderful animated version of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Rumpelstiltskin" features the many guises of narrator Bastian Pastewka.

Never give a rich woman with a baby a second chance? See if you can figure it out!

Another psychological marvel from the Brothers Grimm, in which (spoiler alert!) two sisters cuddle up to a bear, who, instead of eating them, turns into a prince and marries one of them, kindly matching up the other with his brother. Viel Spaß beim Deutschlernen!
