- Synopsis:
Once upon a time, there lived in Denmark a young shoemaker named Hans Christian Andersen whose magical tales delighted boys and girls throughout the land. Filled with music, laughter and wonderful, glittering fun, this charming fable follows the adventures of the legendary storyteller and recaptures the spirit of fairyland make-believe for children of all ages. Danny Kaye is a delight as Hans, who one day journeys beyond the borders of his small village, across the sea and into the dazzling city of Copenhagen. There he encounters marvels and wonders beyond his wildest dreams... and finds the inspiration for some of his most unforgettable characters such as "The Little Mermaid", "The Ugly Duckling", "Thumbelina" and many more! - Actors:

DELIGHTFUL AND HISTORICAL - Hans Christian Andersen review by LA
Danny Kaye always delightful, but the film history and ballet background is also fascinating ( Zizi Jeanmaire & Roland Petit) with some incredible performances, and a wonderful undersea ballet that puts the Little Mermaid to shame.
