We all know that Tim Burton was inspired by Edward Gorey. Here is a recently resurfaced television program of Hansel and Gretel designed and directed by Mr. Burton that aired only once - on Halloween in 1983! Perhaps Mr. Gorey watched it himself that evening! I want the toys...
I watched this a few days ago. As a Tim Burton fan, I think it is brilliant. And very distinctive of Burton's style.
ReplyDeleteI was enchanted by that much more than I expected. I wonder what I would have thought if I had watched it at age 13 when it originally aired.
