A classic movie musical! My parents taped it for me off of the Disney channel way back when and I fell in love with it.

The Grimm Brothers, Jakob and Wilhelm, are traveling by carriage to deliver a collection of their fairy tales to a neighboring king. When the reach the edge of the forest, their driver refuses to continue into the haunted woods. The brothers buy the carriage and venture on.
As the brothers enter the forest, Wilhelm sees their fairy tales come to life as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs pass them by and as Little Red Ridding Hood asks where her grandmother's house is. Jakob assures him that he is imagining things and that "Life Is Not a Fairy Tale."
The brothers get lost several times along the way and stumble upon such classics as "The Six Swans," "Cinderella," "The Frog Prince," "The Twelve Dancing Princesses," "Dumling and the Golden Goose," "The Musicians of Bremen," "Rumpelstiltskin," and a gorgeous "Sleeping Beauty" ballet.

The story is accompianed by beautiful dancing and gorgeous songs. The costumes are phenomenal and the sets are breathtaking. Follow the Brothers Grimm through the classic fairy tales we know and love and meet a few new friends along the way.

This is a classic movie that you will love to watch again and again: "Once Upon a Brothers Grimm."

Please put this great fairy tale on DVD so that humble people such as myself can afford it. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

My mom taped this from the Disney channel more than 15 years ago for my sister and I. It is fabulous! The characters are wonderful (lots of well-known actors & actresses), and the songs are beautiful. We watched the tape so much its starting to wear out! I wish it would come out on DVD!

I remember watching this movie when I was little. I beg of you to put it on dvd because it was such a good little musical. It's probably been 15 years since I last saw it, but I remember absolutely adoring the staging of this story.

I also remember this movie from my childhood. My mother had the movie but cant seem to find it. I am so happy to see it once again. My own children now love this movie and watch it all the time.

This was my favorite movie as a child and i still enjoy it now. It takes you away from the everyday problem filled adult life and back to your childhood. If you are a parent I strongly recomend you by this movie for you and your children. They don't make movie's like this anymore pick it up while you can!

I saw this film a while ago, and it still holds strong in my memory as a very good movie. While it is obvious that this film is meant for children, there is no reason that adults (children of all ages) cannot enjoy this film. There are several silly and cheesy moments, from the costumes to the dialogue (i.e. really really bad jokes), even to the acting. However, in this case the good outweighs the bad. One of the most remarkable thing about this film is that most, if not all, of the fairy tales mentioned are set in some way to music and/or dance. To see these fairy tales come to life in this way is remarkable. I would definitely recommend this film to every child I know...and even to a few adults.

This was one of my favorite movies I saw when I was a kid in the 80s. I have been trying to track it down for a LONG TIME. I highly suggest this movie. It's a great fantasy about the brothers walking through a enchanged forest and bumping into many of the fairy tales.
