Made for educational and entertainment purposes, these films transpose familiar fairytales such as Hansel & Gretel, Cinderella and Snow White into a world of Appalachian Americana with charming and eerie results. Many of the movies are available to watch on youtube or on Davenport's own site folkstreams.net.The From the Brothers Grimm films:Hansel and Gretel: An Appalachian Version (1977)Rapunzel, Rapunzel (1979)The Frog King (1980)Bristlelip (1982)Bearskin, or The Man Who Didn't Wash for Seven Years (1982)The Goose Girl (1983)Jack and the Dentist's Daughter (1983)Soldier Jack, or The Man Who Caught Death in a Sack (1988)Ashpet: An American Cinderella (1990)Mutzmag (1992)Willa: An American Snow White (1998)"Children are innocent and love justice, while most of us are wicked, and naturally prefer mercy."- G.
