Notes: Adapted from the short story by Kelly Link.

Notes: Don't expect every character in ''Grimms' Tales'' to live happily ever after. Don't expect some of them to live at all. But Bridgette Dunlap, who adapted and directed these four stories, knows that a little gruesomeness can be very funny. - The New York Times | ||||
Synopsis: A princess fails to honor her agreement with a ball-fetching frog and is tried in a fantastical court. Ashputtle escapes her cinders for the palace while her ravishing but brutal sisters face their fate. A mouse, a bird and a sausage set up housekeeping. With modern twists and returns to the classic stories, Grimms' Tales is a wild, enchanting retelling of the timeless "Hansel & Gretel," "The Frog King," "Ashputtle," and "The Mouse, the Bird and the Sausage." | ||||
