Britchot Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 I just watched Mirror Mirror with my daughter and was surprised to see a Tatzelwurm in a modern day movie. The movie isn't bad but it is a children's movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaiber Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 That's really cool. I've always really liked cryptozoology, and the Tatzelwurm specifically. Obviously, it's a legendary creature from the Alps. However, interestingly enough, I've heard that there was a German comic strip in the 1930s which featured one as a character. I've never seen this comic or even know what it was called, so this could be apocryphal, but supposedly the I./JG 3 and II./JG 1 early war emblem was inspired by (and even looks like) that comic character. According to a few websites I've seen on the subject, it's a Tom & Jerry type thing, with the Tatzelwurm (in the Jerry role) living the high-life by taking advantage for the Farmer (in the Tom role). The Tatzelwurm steals apples, milk, etc. And the farmer can never seem to catch him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
