Frequently Asked Questions

Questions & Answers

Are these the original Grimm stories?

Yes. We follow the earliest Grimm texts and faithful scholarly variants, not modern adaptations.

Why are these darker than the versions I grew up with?

Because the originals are. We preserve the tone while keeping language clear for modern viewers and listeners.

Where can I read the transcript?

Each story page includes a full transcript with timestamps for easy navigation.

How are the videos made?

We combine hands-on craft with smart tools:
the script is written by a human,
voiceover is recorded with ElevenLabs,
visuals are generated with OpenArt,
and music/SFX are created via ElevenLabs.
Final video editing, timing, and sound design are done manually
