It is directed by Len Talan and stars David Warner, Cloris Leachman, Hugh Pollard and Nicola Stapleton.

Hansel (Hugh Pollard) and Gretel (Nicola Stapelton) are the offspring of an impoverished woodcutter (David Warner) and his wife (Emily Richard).

After being told to leave their home by their mother, Hansel and Gretel wrongly walk into the 'North woods' where they discover a delicious gingerbread house.

He contacted the local fire department near the woods where the witch's house had been built and got them to assist the crew by pumping fire-fighting foam through the back of the set and out the windows and roof.

Over the years, it became a cult classic, beloved by those who appreciated the Cannon Group's unique style and the film's nostalgic appeal.
