The film opens with birds flying around the "Witch Rock", as a singing voice starts to recount the legend relating to it as told in the storybooks.

She then takes a spoonful of a brew from a cauldron on the fireplace and throws it onto a noisy cat, turning it into stone.

While the witch is fighting the dwarfs, Hansel frees his sister and in the process discovers the antidote to the earlier potion, which they then use to return the other children to normal.
