**Witness Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters** Released in 2013, *Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters* is an action-fantasy film that puts a dark twist on the classic fairy tale. Starring Jeremy Renner as Hansel and Gemma Arterton as Gretel, the movie follows the siblings as they grow up to become specialized witch hunters who are determined to rid the world of evil witches. The movie starts with the Grimm brothers' famous story of Hansel and Gretel being tricked into a witch's house made of candy. However, unlike the original tale, the siblings manage to escape the witch's clutches and embark on a lifelong mission to eradicate witches everywhere. **The main idea of the film is the conversion of the innocent protagonists from prey to hunters, seeking revenge for the turmoil inflicted upon them.** Set in a dark and medieval world, the film offers a unique blend of action, horror, and humor.
"We talk about the kraken as living in the theater of the mind," said Katie Townsend, the Kraken's senior vice president of marketing and communications. "It's a mysterious beast. We don't want to be a cartoon brand which is why we have not revealed the full kraken. It was a fairly obvious choice that we would not go with a kraken, but would do a deep dive led by Lamont and team to examine what is the right mascot for the city, for the fans and for the brand."
According to Lamont Buford, the Kraken s vice president of entertainment experience and production, the team received hundreds of ideas for the mascot, but eventually decided on Buoy.

Meet Buoy the Troll, the first-ever Seattle Kraken mascot
As the Seattle Kraken worked their way through their inaugural season, there were many firsts for the franchise.
There was their first game in Las Vegas, there was their first goal by Ryan Donato, there was their first home game at Climate Pledge Arena and prior to the season, there was their first draft pick in Matty Beniers.
But missing from Seattle Kraken games was a mascot.
Well, at their latest preseason game on Saturday night against the Vancouver Canucks, the Seattle Kraken introduced their first mascot, Buoy the Troll.
Leading up to the reveal, the Kraken released a video of three children video chatting with local Seattle sports players such as Paul Sewald of the Mariners and Breanna Stewart of the Storm about what the team’s mascot should be. Eventually, the thought was the mascot should be based around one of the city of Seattle’s top landmarks.
Enter Buoy the Troll, who is named after the Fremont Troll under the Aurora Bridge.
“We are proud to introduce Buoy and mark another milestone moment for the Seattle Kraken,” Katie Townsend, Kraken chief marketing officer, said in a press release. “We are rooted in the local community and everything we do is inspired by the wonderful place we live. Buoy was inspired by the Fremont Troll and is a big fan of the Seattle music scene!”
Buoy, as you’d imagine, shares many of the same colors as the Seattle Kraken’s jerseys, and also has an earring with the team’s secondary logo, an anchor modeled after the space needle. And, per the Kraken, Buoy has “hockey-flow-style hair” and “a removable tooth.”
“Over the last two years we worked to develop Buoy’s unique identity that captured the look and feel of the Kraken brand while being kid-friendly and approachable,” said Lamont Buford, vice president of entertainment experience and production of the Seattle Kraken. “Buoy’s hair is a nod to hockey flow and the waves of Puget Sound. You’ll notice there is a removable tooth just like a hockey player, an anchor earring for our secondary mark and then a mysterious tentacle indicating an encounter with the Kraken. Buoy is so much fun and I look forward to everyone meeting the newest member of our team.”
Fans can meet Buoy for the first time on Sunday at the Kraken Community Iceplex. To follow Buoy on Instagram, use the handle @NHLbuoy. For Twitter and TikTok, use @SEABuoy.

Reviews for "The Music of Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters: Setting the Tone for a Magical Adventure"
1. John - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters". The concept seemed interesting, but the execution fell flat for me. The action scenes were decent, but the overall story lacked depth and character development. The dialogue was cheesy at times, and the humor felt forced. I expected a more exciting and engaging film, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations.
2. Sarah - 1/5 - "Witness hansel and gretel witch hunters" was a complete waste of time in my opinion. The plot was nonsensical and convoluted, making it hard to follow or care about what was happening. The acting was subpar, and the characters were one-dimensional. The special effects were also underwhelming, failing to create a visually impressive experience. Overall, I found the movie to be dull, uninspired, and not worth recommending to others.
3. Mark - 2/5 - I had high hopes for "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters", but it ended up being a letdown. The film seemed more focused on the gore and violence rather than a compelling storyline. The action scenes were over-the-top and lacked substance. The performances were mediocre at best, and the dialogues were cringe-worthy. It felt like a low-budget action flick that relied heavily on visual effects instead of a good script. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this movie unless you're a big fan of mindless action and gore.
