A Tale Dark & Grimm

This movie is based on the best selling children's book by the same name written by Adam Gidwitz. The story features many "Grimm" fairy tales and combines them into a dark, gory, twisted, but heartfelt adventure all tied together by the story of Hansel and Gretel. It is the first of three books in the series, though they all feature different main characters and are not strictly chronological; they are styled as "companions." Some dialogue, particularly by the ravens who take the place of the book's narrator as well as performing some of their original function, is either paraphrased or even lifted directly from the book.
