One of  the animators on the Meyerberg version of "Hansel and Gretel" was   
Teddy Shepherd, a long-time member of the Puppetry Guild of Greater New  
York. 
She passed away within the last year or two. and I own several  stop-action 
animation publications, acquired from her, on the making of  "Hansel and 
Gretel,"  "King Kong," and one of my favorites "Flesh  Gordon." The work 
they 
did was  outstanding.

Last  night I watched a DVD of Hansel and Gretel, and was  VERY impressed.

It  is stop motion, but of a surprisingly advanced  level, for the time it 
was  
made (1954).
There is an absurdly  short "making of", but it may just be  a mistake in 
editing the DVD,  as it stops quite abruptly after just a few  minutes. The 
minutes  they show are quite interesting  though.


Directed by Michael  Meyerberg
72 minutes, in  color.
Deluxe Edition.
ISBN  0-8030-2421-5


The DVD I was lent  is distributed by  "Collector's Catalog", New   york.
