Hansel Sandwiches TV Advertisement

Over the last several years, a series of interesting commercials have been produced for Rebisco, the Republic Biscuit Corporation located in the Philippines. The TV spots use familiar fairytale characters to promote their Hansel Sandwiches (cookies).

The Snow White piece was produced in 2008. Rather than biting into the Witch's apple, Snow is drawn back into the cottage by the aroma of a Hansel cookie.

The production combines live action with animation. For obvious legal reasons, the dwarfs could not be drawn to resemble the Disney characters. Yet, the poison apple as well as the cottage and forest glen do have a strong Disney-esque feel to them.
