Classic film from Tim Burton

Check out this 1982 version of Hansel and Gretel.  It was written and directed by Tim Burton while still with Disney.  Once again, this was a case of Tim Burton's unique genius and originality that the old guard at Disney did not get at first.  It aired once during a Halloween special and has since never surfaced publicly...until now!

It is a bizarre little film, also demonstrating his love of Japanese culture.  Hard to believe he was only 7 years away from directing the first big budget Batman movie.
