It might be a little gorey for your 5-7 year old, think original grimms tales level of gore. We let ours watch it without issue. Super fun, and the really bad stuff isn't shown. It also includes some of the lesser known stories like the devils 3 golden hairs.
Contrary to what a prior review said. The queen is poc and the king isn't so the siblings are going to also be racially diverse. As diverse as the cast is, it's not a topic in the show. Anyone complaining about it needs to chill, kids don't care, and if you do, work on that.

It's a little dark, but still has plenty of humor to lighten things up. My kids love it and I found myself watching it with them and actually pretty entertained by it! Cute show!
I never read the book but as a series it is amazingly funny with some (ofcourse) dark and sarcastic humor. It isn't mind blowing but interresting enough to keep facinated by it.
I just keep wondering what age it targets...I think it is a bit too horrible for most 6y old but also often a bit too simplistic for older childeren and adults.

It's got some twisted storytelling but I think the way that they tell the story in order to make it not so dark, works really well. It's got some good humor though. It's not super corny and each episode has some very captivating narration. I love the pace of the series. When you think it might drag, they speed it up instead and I really loved that. The animation is not the best, but the content is good enough to make up for it.
**OPINION: I love that the queen might be from a middle eastern region? (Her kingdom had desert, palm trees etc.) maybe? Maybe not? And I love that the twins are not identical. I mean, girl/boy twins cannot be identical regardless, but you know what I mean. My 2 daughters look as if they should have completely different dads based off of skin tone lol but they're not. One is super white with golden brown hair and one is brown with dark hair lol so I think this show isn't just trying to be "different" but more relatable to others and not just the majority or stereotypes. So yeah, I really liked that :)
Anyways, back to the story review: it's fun, it's exciting, it's plenty interesting and each episode ends making you want to hurry up and watch the next :) I hope it is as enjoyable to all as it was for me and my fam. Adults too. That other Hansel and Gretal animated film on Netflix was GARBAGE so don't mix up the 2 lol this series is completely different and much better. Thanks for reading :)

My kid who's old enough to watch was like, I won't watch it. Then 10 minutes in, no daddy please let me watch one more. LOL. Hilarious and creepy, a 10 🌟
