Hansel and Gretel

Classic children's tale, by the Brothers Grimm, of a brother and sister who get lost in the woods and encounter an evil witch. It has been parodied multiple times in Muppet Productions.


 * In 1958, following a sojourn in Europe, Jim Henson designed elaborate sets and built puppets for a Hansel and Gretel stage show, working in a more traditional puppetry style. The project was ultimately abandoned.


 * The 1965 industrial film Shrinkel and Stretchel spoofed the story, with Taminella Grinderfall as the witch.


 * Muppet Magazine issue 15 featured Rizzo and Yolanda as the duo.


 * Sesame Street has featured the pair in multiple episodes.


 * Kermit and Piggy appeared as the brother and sister in Muppet Babies' Classic Children's Tales
