 'Hansel + Gretel' is the winner for the 2016 Hasbro Special Hospital Jury Award.

(Providence Children's Film Festival brought selections of short films from 2016 program to the Hasbro Children's Hospital. Then the children voted for their favorite film.

This is so unexpected, very memorable and special award, considering the film's abstraction in visual and symbolism...
