The movie is meant to be tongue-in-check and anachronistic, but we couldn't help but mock the fact that Hansel developed the "sugar sickness" (diabetes) from all the sweets he consumed at a cottage made of candy where he was imprisoned as a child by an evil witch. The adult Hansel is forced to inject himself with insulin every day or risk keeling over dead. Note: this is highly inconvenient when you're in the middle of a life or death battle with a witch- just saying.
The climax of the movie takes place at this very same candy cottage where he warns everyone, "Whatever you do, don't eat the #@*$%! candy." This delighted my niece Lisa who said that going forward this will be her new life motto. She did a great job re-enacting the overly dramatic injection scenes from the movie.
*Let me assure you that you NEVER need to see this movie. Ever.
I wish I was there to see that!
