The Brothers Grimm
Folklore collectors and con artists, Jake and Will Grimm, travel from village to village pretending to protect townsfolk from enchanted creatures and performing exorcisms. However, they are put to the test when they encounter a real magical curse in a haunted forest with real magical beings, requiring genuine courage. From TMDB

It's fairy tale, but it's by Bryan Fuller, so it's not Disney. It's the Brothers Grimm with more laughs. A kid’s movie by and for adorable psychos. See it as soon as you can.
unlabelledView post →As soon as Strabo recorded it in writing (as an at least nominally true story passed down among Egyptians)? When Giambattista Basile published one of the first literary anthologies of fairy tales? When the Brothers Grimm popularized it? When the Disney movie came out? Never?
unlabelledView post →The recent Blu-ray release of 'The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm' - the last of the Cinerama films to receive its long-overdue restoration - is quite something. I'd only ever seen it as a 4:3 pan-and-scan, so seeing it like this was a genuine revelation. Such a beautiful film.

unlabelledView post →Do the people making these critiques not understand how much Walt Disney sanitized the Brothers Grimm version of Snow White to make it acceptable for a 1937 audience? There's cannibalism in the Brothers Grimm version. Was leaving it out the equivalent of "wokeness" then? Stories change. It's fine!

unlabelledView post →Haply chinese new year of the horse. When I first got into the vore fandom I was obsessed with horse predators. Mainly because of the Brothers Grimm movie scene on YouTube. I was also a brony so MLP FIM characters were also my pred crushes. Still are though but have some equine stuffing #vore

unlabelledView post →"Grimms' Fairy Tales" was published on this day, Dec 20, 1812. In 1962, the film THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF THE BROTHERS GRIMM was released, based on tales from the book. I'm taking a side trip from music to look at this Cinerama film, just because I am really into old widescreen formats. 1/7 #filmsky
unlabelledView post →The seven characters who became dwarfs were originally written as seven monks. And the Brothers Grimm never gave them names. The 1912 stage play gave them the names Snick, Glick, Blick, Flick, Plick, Whick and Quee. DAS obviusly changed them for the film. 32/55

unlabelledView post →I have never been that mad at a movie. But mad at friends? When exiting THE BROTHERS GRIMM, they said it “sucked” b/c “it was bad” When pressed, their reasoning was it was “shitty”. People that have strong opinions on media but cant discuss those opinions drive me up a wall.

unlabelledView post →I don't know how this movie eluded me for so long but I LOVED watching The Wonderful World Of The Brothers Grimm (1962)! Many thanks to @tcm for making it available on the Watch TCM app!
unlabelledView post →Apparently the movie 'Little Monsters' scared me as a child, I also remember being terrified of the mud monster in 'The Brothers Grimm'. Finally, the Walrus from Pingu, fuck that guy😔
unlabelledView post →The fact this film got made was miraculous. Terry Gilliam was at an impasse with the Weinsteins over The Brothers Grimm. Jeremy Thomas suddenly found the money for this thanks to a tax break in Saskatchewan, Canada. So, Gilliam went to do this, the result is one of Gilliam's best and emotional films

Mine was The Brothers Grimm movie, first movie i ever saw, specifically the scene where the horse eats a child I don't wanna look for a better picture but that horse right there? full of child. WHY
unlabelledView post →Of course, all part of the fun! Was actually remembering recently with The Odyssey being out that Terry Gilliam was overruled by The Weinsteins when he wanted to give Samantha Morton the role played by Lena Headey in The Brothers Grimm. Could have been a much better film with her in it.

unlabelledView post →So I watched this movie, The Brothers Grimm, last night, cause I’m already watching a show about same subject, and there is a man who can turn into a wolf in it. I think it’s actually a cool design.
unlabelledView post →Okay, but you're not talking about the Brothers Grimm story, you're clearly talking about the Disney movie. Cinderella's father doesn't die in the Brothers Grimm story.
unlabelledView post →Gilliam's The Brothers Grimm isn't the best film of everyone involved but it has Lena Headey in full on wild woman of the woods mode and that makes me run up the walls

unlabelledView post →I want to recommend aHalloween movie - "The Brothers Grimm", (2006). There's no screamers inside this magic box, only horror of fairytale.
unlabelledView post →Just finished watching THE BROTHERS GRIMM (2005). Not a very good movie, imo, but Heath Ledger is very good in it.
unlabelledView post →The day a major studio releases a movie adaptation of Cinderella with an ending that’s true to the Brothers Grimm original, I will sit myself down with a bucket of popcorn and watch the internet and movie critics lose their minds.
unlabelledView post →I can't tell anybody it's a great film, and I know its reviews were terrible, but I can't help loving Terry Gilliam's The Brothers Grimm. The story is a mess but Ledger & Damon are too good, & the film has too many of the things Gilliam does at his best, for me to pretend I don't enjoy it.

unlabelledView post →The fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm have to do with language. Language that creates images in the minds of listeners and readers. An animated film can still retain this magic, but a live-action adaptation destroys it. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/23/b...
