Danish boy Paul O'Keefe, bored with his studies at home, daydreams of adventures in far off lands. The dreams are stop-motion animated fantasies which would later become stories which he would write as Hans Christian Andersen. The segments include the underwater story of the Little Mermaid; the tale of the vain and selfish Emperor's New Clothes; and some scary adventures with Thumbelina involving a memorable giant frog. Entertaining, if somewhat haphazard, full length feature from the Rankin Bass team. Wizard of Oz alums Ray Bolger and Margaret Hamilton appear in the live action scenes.
