Did the brothers actually write the fairy tales themselves or just publish the works under their name?

Id love to learn more about them. If you have a good link or know of a good location on the web to read up more about them, please let me know.

Hmm good question... did any of the tales had anything to do with the movie by the same name, or was that something completly different.

From what i heard yes, the movie is a take on the brothers lives. I haven't seen it though because im not a big movie goer and im to cheap to buy the DVD since i didnt hear anything great about it.

Well from what I heard, and what majority of critics seems to say is that it wasn't a big deal ...oh well never intended to watch it anyway...

Yes, I believe they did.

My favorite of their fairy tales is the hare and hedgehog. Haha I did a report on that for my class and got an A on it! ^^

That's really informative, i never would've thought that the Brothers Grim's aim was to create a national identity for the German people. Excellent post frang
