Filmed in three-camera Cinerama process, this fictionalized biography of the famed German brothers who created unforgettable fairy tales has now been meticulously restored to its original widescreen splendor. This family classic cleverly brings three of the brothers' most famous stories to life, in parallel with the story of their long struggle for recognition, and the sacrifices they made to achieve their goals. Between dreamer Wilhelm (Laurence Harvey) and practical Jacob (Karl Boehm), some marvelous fantasies develop. In "The Dancing Princess," a princess (Yvette Mimieux) and a charming woodsman (Russ Tamblyn) fall in love. "The Cobbler and the Elves," provides a miracle of dedicated labor which helps out a cobbler in need. Lastly, a fire-breathing dragon threatens a kingdom until a lowly servant (Buddy Hackett) saves the day. Shot on location in Germany, the innovative production is highlighted producer George Pal's famous Puppetoons, and original songs by Bob Merrill
