Trivia

To save money, the Cannon Movie Tales films were shot two-at-a-time. Hansel and Gretel was shot simultaneously with Sleeping Beauty. This wasn't the best of situations in that often the two crews would be competing for the limited equipment, costumes, and sets. See more »

Crazy Credits

A gingerbread man is displayed to the left side of the screen during the end credits. He later winks at the audience. See more »
