"Based on 'Die Bruder Grimm' by Dr. Hermann Gerstner."
Originally released as a motion picture in 1962.
"This new HD video master is a totally new representation that captures the essence of the production's original Cinerama Roadshow exhibition by combining the three Cinerama film panels into a single, seamless widescreen image... [T]he film has gone through... today's digital restoration arts to create this 4K restoration... The alternate 'Smilebox' special version was rendered so that the flat images look as if 'projected' onto a virtual Cinerama curved screen to create the wraparound effect."
