Considered by many to be the definitive rendering of German composer Engelbert Humperdinck's classic children's opera, this innovative 1954 version uses hand-sculpted dolls, stop-motion animation and lavish sets to bring the production enchantingly to life. The stellar cast of performers providing voices includes Constance Brigham, Frank Rogier, Mildred Dunnock, Delbert Anderson, Helen Boatwright and diva Anna Russell as the cannibalistic witch.
