Fantasy fare for the little ones., 6 February 2001
4/10
Author: Michael O'Keefe from Muskogee OK

Just perfect for rugrats and pre-schoolers. Several Hans Christian Anderson tales told by way of live action and stop motion puppetry. A diverse cast donated time and talent to this somewhat dated film. The cast features Ed Wynn, Ray Bolger, Patty Duke, Boris Karloff, Burl Ives, Margaret Hamilton, Tallulah Bankhead and Paul O'Keefe.
