. . . but some viewers might get that impression as they're watching BABES IN THE WOODS. Apparently Mr. Dizzy could not corner the market on grim fairy tales, so he decided to mix up Hans, Greta and an army of cloned dwarfs inside his giant rodent blender to see what kind of sausage would ensue. Unfortunately, the main theme of Walt's apparent source material is isolation in a rugged haunted wilderness, so interjecting legions of gaily gyrating gnomes kind of pollutes this fairy tale's atmosphere.
