Thanks, Craig, the magazines I acquired from Teddy include an interview,  
with photographs, of a youthful Don Sahlin, prior to his career creating 
Muppets  for Henson.

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.
