The Wacky World of Mother Goose (1967)

 
Embassy Pictures
Directed by Jules Bass
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Anchor Bay)

Animated Rankin/Bass production attempts to pull together various characters from Mother Goose rhymes into a coherent story. While Mother Goose is away visiting her ailing sister, the Crooked Man tries to take over Mother Goose Land by enslaving the men of the kingdom. Little Jack Horner along with Mary and her little lamb set off on a trek to find Mother Goose to stop him. Clunky animation and piecemeal story make this one of the lesser Rankin/Bass films.
