| The witch's home and gas station |
The idea was for Hansel and Gretel to have been sent by their dad's girlfriend to go by jetpack to a neighbouring planet for the day to explore... or so she says! Before they leave, she secretly empties their jetpacks so they won't have enough fuel for a return trip. The siblings survive a crash-landing on the planet(the fuel having run out whilst in the troposphere, oh my) and come across a gas station. A kindly old (alien)woman offers them some fuel, but insists that they must stay for tea. They stay, of course, because who doesn't love tea? ಠ_ಠ
Suffice it to say, sh*t happens and the alien granny is revealed to be rather hungry for the other OTHER white meat. Now, in the original story, Gretel tricks the witch and pushes her into the oven(ouchies). Since there are no ovens in the galaxy large enough to fit the alien hag(except maybe on Omicron Persei 8), Gretel makes do with what she has -- that is to say, jetpack fuel and a Zippo lighter. Let's watch:
