What happens

Babes in the Woods is a 1932 Silly Symphonies animated short film produced by Walt Disney. It is a re-working of the British folk tale Babes in the Wood, with some material incorporated from Brothers Grimm's Hansel and Gretel, the Russian folk tale The Boy and the Witch, and the addition of a village of friendly elves (a feature not traditionally present in either tale) and a happier ending. It is the last Disney short to produce with Cinephone synchronized sound system. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
