​“It is excellent! … Anyone who might want to teach a course about fairy tales should begin with this film, for it raises many questions and clarifies who the Grimms were and how important they are.”

“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.”
