The Brothers Grimm

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm are portrayed by Andy Henderson and Joerg Stadler respectively. They arrive together at the royal palace where the Grande Dame lives. She has requested an audience with them after they published their book of fairy-tales, probably quite recently. When the Grande Dame expresses her concern for the story The Little Cinder Girl, Wilhelm jokes around with that the magical version is probably the most accurate one while Jacob explains that the truth about the slipper has been lost. They are astonished when the Grande Dame takes out the 'glass' slipper and says that Danielle is the Little Cinder Girl. At the end of the film, after the Grande Dame tells the 'true' story, they leave.

Trivia
This film uses the brothers and their apparent ignorance of the 'true' story of Danielle de Barbarac as a framing device.
