Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

Question: After Hansel saves the children, where do they go? Do they just run into the forest, trying to get back to Augsburg?

Question: The extended edition shows that the kidnapped children are forced to eat poison dart frogs for the ritual. After they were rescued, wouldn't they be dead from eating poisonous frogs?

Question: After the Mayor is killed by Berringer in the extended edition, who runs the town? If it was run by Berringer and he's now dead, who's in charge?

Question: Hansel said in the end that Augsburg knows who they are now. Does that mean they know that murdering his and Gretel's parents was wrong?

Question: If the Mayor's death is only in the extended edition, then why was there no mention of it in the theatrical edition? Also, why wouldn't the town stand up to Berringer for killing their Mayor?

Question: Is Edward supposed to be Hansel and Gretel's father? If so, was there some explanation as to how or why since the head evil witch told Hansel and Gretel he was hung? Was she lying?

Answer: Edward is not Hansel and Gretel's father. He helps them because he is a troll. Trolls serve witches.

Question: How old were Hansel and Gretel as kids in the beginning of the movie? How much time passed to when they were adult? And how old were they then?

Chosen answer: Hansel & Gretel's ages are never mentioned in the original fairytale. But Cedric Eich who plays young Hansel is currently 13 (August 10th, 2000). The age of Alea Sophia Boudodimos who plays young Gretel is unknown, but I'd guess that she's a similar age.

Question: If Edward is now part of the team, does Hansel know that he saved Gretel from Berringer and his goons?

Answer: Yes.

Continuity mistake: They trick one witch with a record recording of a boy that is lost. H&G are thrown down by it and the witch picks up a branch and begins zooming off like it is a broom. Hansel is behind her, yet despite the witch traveling faster than he is running, somehow he suddenly gets in front of her and smacks her with his gun. (00:31:10)

Hansel: Some people will say that not all witches are evil, that their powers could be used for good. I say burn them all!

Trivia: The director, Tommy Wirkola, has an uncredited cameo of sorts (seen on screen longer than a usual cameo) as one of Sheriff Berringer's four deputies. Stuntman Wolfgang Lindner portrayed one of the deputies, and is uncredited as well.
