The Emperor's New Clothes (2001)

The Enchanted World of Danny Kaye
"The Emperor's New Clothes" is a from the 1972 ABC television series "the Enchanted World of Danny Kaye."
This series featured Danny Kaye serving as the storyteller for many of Hans Christen Andersen's fairytales.
In this particular episode Danny plays Marmaduke who along with his partner, Musty are tailors engaged by the Emperor Klonkenlocker(voiced by famed actor Cyril Richard) of Bibbentucker to make him a new suit of clothes. What follows is pure magic with the Rankin and Bass animation along with the songs and storytelling which have made Danny Kaye a legend.
It would be a delight to see this entire series available on dvd.

Memories of Danny Kaye
I eagerly awaited the arrival of this DVD having played the tape of Hans Christian Anderson many times to my children when they were growing up, the theme tune went around & around in my head for days. I couldn't wait to play it when it arrived but to my disapointment the theme tune had been changed to something else,while it is still nice to see Danny Kaye I'm afraid to me it was just not what I wanted to hear.

The Incredible Versatility of Danny Kaye
My daughters and I just LOVE Danny Kaye. We have seen all of his movies and the favorite is "The Court Jester". My girls and I also love "Peter Cotton Tail" told and sung by Danny Kaye and we just discovered "The Emperor's New Clothes". What a delight for all ages. Danny Kaye is one of the most talented and versatile musical comedy actors that ever lived. Share this and all of the other Danny Kaye movies with your children. You will laugh till your sides ache!
