2 songs in the Soundtracks. Should not be a Musical.
Clearly aimed at children.
Some scenes are stop motion puppetry, some live action. I suppose the boy is supposed to he Hans Christian Andersen, called Chris here, because every time he falls asleep he dreams one of Andersen's tales, and he is a participant.
I really only remember the Emperor's New Clothes, and by the time that rolled around, I was thoroughly bored and not paying much attention, so I can't even say if that was well done.
