swans are part of the duck family, its why the young swans are called ducklings, as for the story- regardless of who lost their hair, boy or girl. its a story of how a child can be made to accept what they are as long as they do not think they are alone in their dilemma. its called compassion and empathy. children want to feel part of something and when they feel different or made fun of because of something, it is their whole life. great story and hope all the nay sayers start to show kindness
@CloFlatt =that is the technical name, like we are homo-sapiens, but commonly called human beings. got it? lol baby swans are commonly refered to as ducklings...or chicks. just replying to ur correction of a simple explanation
Having your head shaved was generally the only remedy for lice infestation, so it was a major thing for all kids. This happened right up until maybe 30 years ago when better medicated shampoos came about. Everyone knew why you had to have it done, so you must be dirty.
A deeply moving tale of hope and redemption. I saw this movie when I was 6 or 7 and my mother used to sing this song to me. Every child, most especially those most cruelly mocked or abused, deserves to hear and believe this message. What an extraordinary combination of talents Andersen, Kaye, and Loesser made, and what a gift they gave to the children of the world. It's up to the rest of us to keep giving in whatever way we can.
Frank Loesser is just one of the greatest songwriters in history and for all time. He'd have been 101 years old this month (June 2011). This score, like his Guys and Dolls, is just packed with famous numbers. The theme song is as witty as a children's song could be: Table to chair "I did not say I would marry you but I would like to sit down" is just brilliant. Inchworm and Anywhere I Wander are about as beautiful and haunting as any tunes can be. Loesser wrote Baby It's Cold Outside too. Superb
You know, I've always had the feeling that that scene would have been more poignant if the 'ugly duckling' had been a girl. I feel like girls have a bit of a close attachment to their hair, and would have been more upset over losing it.
@SuperKawaiKitty The ugly duckling is a 'boy' swan, told by Hans Christian Andersen. Not a girl! Do you think you know it better than the author himself? ;-)
@SuperKawaiKitty Well, that's pretty steroetypical and ignorant. This is a CHILD, who was being taunted by his peers for being different... that is IT. Doesn't matter if it is a boy or a girl.
@SuperKawaiKitty I feel boys might be just as traumatized and humiliated. Boys' peers can be as unkind and merciless as girls'. For my son, shaving his hair off would be like being mutilated. Yes it grows back, but what a blow to his self-confidence if he didn't agree to being shaved. This little boy was adorable in the part. But we can disagree!
i remember this from when i was a child... i sang it to my first child and plan to sing it to my next child.... it's a feel good song that i know this cruel swearword filled world could do with more of.....
This is honestly the most pathetic video I have ever seen. No one cares about little kids with cancer. The sooner people find that out, the better the world will be. People need to stop being so ignorant.
@Moysauce22 you're the pathetic one. Really!!!??? What was this statement about? Were you joking, cause it was very distasteful. Grow up and get out of here!
@Moysauce22 I've seen some more of your antics on here and I can't believe you haven't been blocked!!! What gives you the right to act like this?! You're a very pathetic soul. Satan has a true hold on you! All these words only from him through you. Go somewhere else and stop bad mouthing some of the most wonderful works of art and life!!!
@kaptainkrunch123 Who are you to tell me that some figment of yours and every other pathetic Christian's imagination has "a true hold" on me? You are sick.
@kaptainkrunch123 Just let it go. He's a troll. He lives to instigate conflict. The more angry and frustrated you become with him, the more entertained he is.
@rubberduckDKify All of this "reality" we experience around us is but a projection from the mind of God/Spirit/Creator---a "movie". And do we not create our own movies in our minds every moment of every day, which we then term "reality"? Einstein pointed out that if there were no "God", mankind would have need to invent one. Hope you're enjoying your movie!!
@campbellcenter That's a belief called solipsism. It's actually very sensible, considering that the only thing that is certain is "I think, therefore I am."
hc Andersen had a touch life and then this has nothing to do with him first of all he had a LONG nose and BLACK hair! there where no singing back then. this is just CRAP! o.k maybe he sings good but that all this SUCK! DENMARK4EVER!!!!!!!
Found a Bizarre fact out today, I've loved this movie particularly the ugly duckling song, well Danny Kaye died the day I was born... March 3, 1987. scarily coincidental
the only thing NOT to like is that it is not longer. about another 30 sec at he begining when the constable is FROWNING at the cobbler.... GREAT MOVIE!
I was in "Hans Christian Anderesn" long before being cast as Mouseketeer Lonnie on the original "Mickey Mouse Club" (1955-59). I was cast as the Ugly Duckling but my mom and I did not want to shave my head, so the role went to Peter Votrian. I am related to Hans through my great, great grandfather, sea Captain Karl Eimer Andersen (3rd cousin) who emigrated to the U.S. Thus, I did a number of publicity shots with Danny. I am the very blond boy in a Turquoise Shirt and a HUGE Yellow tie (YUK!)
@lonnieburr Thank you for sharing this information, how very interesting for you, and for me what a wonderful gifted person was our well, your, Hans. I grew up with these stories, I am sure they contributed fo my love for phylosophy & the Spiritual. Once again, thank you. (I have put this on f/book a couple of times, this time I am sending it to a friend for his daughter to listen to, she is young.
@lonnieburr guess what i go to an acting school called pace and yesterday i was told i was playing the main part the ugly duckiling i was overjoyed we're doing a modern version of the ugly duckling in a school setting
@lonnieburr really? That's quite interesting. I would love to be affiliated with such a heartwarming movie. I'm afraid I don't know when this movie was first made, but since I've known it all my life, it has to be at least fifteen years old. How old were you when you were cast? I'm a bit of an aspiring actress, and I love this movie, so I'd like to know please. ^_^
I think one pat on that kids behind was enough - but not for ol' grabby hands Andersen, he had to get greedy .. and just look at that smile on his face afterward.
All these women in town and this guy spends his time talking to kids all day.
Looks like the local police are members of the towns NAMBLA chapter as well.
i dont no why people have to look for bad things in everything {pedophiles} sigh. when this film was made it was better times. I will always love danny kaye films they played a big part in my childhood.
Sang this to my daughter and then to grandson when they were small...an all time favorite with my family!...my father had the LP record and it was one of my favorites too. I am of course from Copenhagen originally.
@FreewheelinPhrank dude you need to go get another hobby other than ruining amazing movies and stories with your nonsense comments. You know very well that this movie was made in a different time that was not worried about pedophiles raping little kids. This was made to entertain and give kids and adults something to smile about.
@WillsPills56 Danny Kaye was a very special person who gave so mcuh of himself Such a pity there are not more Danny Kayes` around. I too have this record and Tubby the Tuba, and yes at my age I still enjoy listening to these old numbers. This is music and entertainment at its best
@zinazina11 No, the boy felt ugly because of kids laughing at him and he told him a story about he was not such an ugly ducking to give him hope. We all need that sometimes.
I love how the little kid looks like he wants to either cry or punch him during the first half of the song, then his smile at the end was so bright and happy.
@MsBedwell Its sad to say there will never be any good actors and actresses like there use to be, same goes for musicians like Glenn Miller or Louis Armstrong. Danny Kaye is one of the best and we miss you dearly :(
@TankGun90 You are so right! I doubt most of the younger generations will fondly remember most of what passes for music these days as they get old. Oh, there are some good things and people out there but they are in small numbers.
@TankGun90 You are so right! I doubt most of the younger generations will fondly remember most of what passes for music these days as they get old. Oh, there are some good things and people out there but they are in small numbers.
I loved this song as a child and sang it to my own family. It took a while to believe that an ugly ducking can become a swan. Sometimes you have to believe before you can see. I loved Danny Kaye, especially in this movie.
i have to giggle, this character reminds me so much of my old friend adam knechtel....always a word of encouragement for all and an attitude most infectious....rip ark
onelilbirdieL What a lovely compliment for your friend. He probably touched more people than he ever realized and such acts of kindness make the world a better place.

There's nothing wrong with the boy. He IS beautiful! Not he WILL be! He just doesn't know it. He's just bald. So what.

Danny Kaye was the best ! There'll never be another like him.

@MsBedwell Its sad to say there will never be any good actors and actresses like there use to be, same goes for musicians like Glenn Miller or Louis Armstrong. Danny Kaye is one of the best and we miss you dearly :(

@TankGun90 You are so right! I doubt most of the younger generations will fondly remember most of what passes for music these days as they get old. Oh, there are some good things and people out there but they are in small numbers.

I loved this song as a child and sang it to my own family. It took a while to believe that an ugly ducking can become a swan. Sometimes you have to believe before you can see. I loved Danny Kaye, especially in this movie.

onelilbirdieL What a lovely compliment for your friend. He probably touched more people than he ever realized and such acts of kindness make the world a better place.

They don't make movies or movie stars like Danny Kaye anymore. What a loss to future generations!
