The Daydreamer (1966) Part 5

Four stories from Hans Christian Andersen appear in The Daydreamer, a feature using the Animagic process that uses live action combined with stop-motion puppets. Included are "The Little Mermaid," "The Emperor's New Clothes," "Thumbelina," and "The Garden Of Paradise." Songs and dances compliment an international all-star cast of voices used for the characters. Ray Bolger, Margaret Hamilton, Burl Ives, Hayley Mills, Boris Karloff, Cyril Ritchard, Patty Duke, Terry-Thomas and Victor Borge join Ed Wynn in his second-to-last screen role. This was the last film in which fans would hear the voices of Sessue Hayakawa and Tallulah Bankhead. Director Jules Bass provided the lyrics, with Murray Law providing the music for this entertaining children's fantasy.

Terry-Thomas, Victor Borge, and Ed Wynn as the Emperor..........how can you get better than that?!?!?!? Just the thought gives me chills. Talent to bring tears to the eyes.

The Emperor is a prime example of the phrase, "There's a sucker born every minute!"

Yeah. You got to love Rankin Bass cartoons. They know to make it more classical and stupendous. I love those guys. They rule, man. GREAT UPLOAD!

I like those little back up singers...They sound like the orcs in the old Return of the King animation...If there's a whip, there's a way. haha*
