Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Insight

This Canadian-produced short deliberately rejected Disney's 1940 Fantasia version, opting for grim Grimm fidelity instead of dancing hippos.

Trivia

Peter Sander spent three years hand-painting cels; the film bankrupted his studio but won a BAFTA—posthumously validating his financial ruin.
