A Rankin Bass production, an anthology of the stories of Hans Christian Anderson. It actually tells the story of Anderson as a teen, jumping into dream/fantasy sequences comprised of stop action animation.
It's quite charming though has a choppy quality. there's a lot of unconvincing dubbed singing voices. The cast is interesting - voices are done by actors including Burl Ives, Hayley Mills (the Little mermaid), Boris Karloff and Tallulah Bankhead. There's live action appearances from Ray Bolger, Margaret Hamilton, Jack Gilford (as Anderson's dad - you'll recognise the face), Ed Wynn.
