The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm: Rumpelstiltskin / The Valiant Little Tailor

Rumpelstiltskin Aided by a mysterious little troll, the millers daughter has spun straw into gold, thus gaining the good Kings hand and heart, and saving her fathers life. But now, the nasty troll wants compensation. He demands her first-born child, unless she can guess his name before the sun has risen three times and it's not an ordinary name, that's for sure! The Valiant Little Tailor A tailor tells everyone he has killed seven in one blow. They believe that the seven were robbers, knights or wild beasts, when all he did was send seven houseflies to heaven! Then he must deal with a family of gruesome giants, a malicious unicorn, and a terrible wild boar, and only by defeating them all can he win the hand of the beautiful princess.

Directed by Gerhard Hahn, Chris Doyle, The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm: Rumpelstiltskin / The Valiant Little Tailor leans on a strong ensemble — Nigel Greaves, Nigel Pegram — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 2005.
