The cult German version of the classic Grimm fairy tale. Wonderful in its strangeness! First shown on British television in 1964, this cult and very surreal German fairytale series haunted a generation of children with its sinister dwarf, malevolent midget, bizarre fish... and a beautiful but arrogant communist princess! This German children\'s series became a cult favourite. Remembered by many who were children in the late \'60s and \'70s primarily because it was surreal – and a little creepy!
