On Halloween in 1983, the Disney Channel was brand new and it aired a 35-minute, live-action take on Hansel and Gretel by the then-unknown Tim Burton. And it hasn’t been available since.
If you didn’t happen to be watching the Disney Channel in 1983 or you didn’t make it to one of the museum exhibitions on Burton’s work, you were out of luck. Until a tape of it surfaced a few days ago. Now, you too can see Burton’s Japanese-inspired film and marvel at its $116,000 budget.
