This live action version of the fairy tale that supposedly inspired Walt Disney to make the later animated version was thought to be lost, until discovered by GEH in the Dutch film Archive. GEH acquired the nitrate and preserved it. We are now going back and using the play script and translations, restoring the English titles to the print. We are also repairing some defects in the image and tinting of the film.
