The Daydreamer (1966) Part 1

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.

THANKS for sharing this delightful footage with us. Oddly, I don't remember this movie from when I was a kid in the 60's. Nor have I ever seen it on TV. This is the first I've heard of it. What a great cast of vintage charactge actors!

I wish they had 2-4 inch tall action figures of the characters. I think thatwould be awesome. Anyone agree?

Hey, I must thank you for putting this on youtube. This was the first movie I went to see in a movie theatre as a child. It was such a great experience. I have looking for this movie for years.
