A child is stolen by a bird begins life anew with anoth­er fam­i­ly, lit­tle does he know what dread­ful fate lies wait­ing for him, and a lit­tle Tai­lor sets off on an adven­ture after killer 7 with one stroke. Wel­come lis­ten­ers to Broth­ers Grimm week, and both these sto­ries, trans­lat­ed from Ger­man into Eng­lish, are ready for your love­ly ears.
Now last episode I men­tioned that The Gold­en Bird sto­ry was unique? Well two lis­ten­ers StarEve2099 and Devonte got it right; The Gold­en Bird sto­ry is tied direct­ly to the episode with “The Bird “Grip”. Both sto­ries shared sim­i­lar char­ac­ters, and sto­ry­lines, but with slight dif­fer­ence – Devonte explains this well: the is sto­ry very sim­i­lar to an the pre­vi­ous sto­ry with small but unim­por­tant dif­fer­ences like kings sons, and in the Gold­en Bird the king is greedy for the gold, rather than in the recent sto­ry where the king was sick and need­ed the bird’s heal­ing song.
It’s always fas­ci­nat­ing when these crossovers take place and how much the Broth­ers Grimm bor­rowed ver­sus what they cre­at­ed /​tweaked. Now in usu­al Broth­ers Grimm fash­ion, there’s may be some strange dia­logue, or odd phras­ing, but once you get past that, a unique sto­ry is to be found.
Thank you so much for lis­ten­ing to the #pod­cast mates!
