Actor Robert Guillaume (Benson) narrates this classic tale about an Emperor so obsessed with his clothing that he fails to perceive the problems facing his empire. When a pair of swindlers in a nearby town learn of the Emperor's fixation on fashion, the pair tricks the Emperor into giving them his country's fortune in return for the promise of a very special birthday suit made from the "fabric of dreams." Meanwhile, the Emperor's brother, Akira, struggles to keep the empire functioning in the face of great flooding and famine with virtually no monetary resources. When Akira is banished from the Empire for declaring his brother a fool for squandering funds on clothing, the Empire's future looks grim. The Emperor's birthday suit turns out to be much, much less than he had hoped for, but the truthful words of one young boy provide the town with the gift of laughter and the promise of better days ahead. This 26-minute video is nicely animated and features the voice talents of George Takei (Star Trek) and Gedde Watanabe (Mulan). (Ages 3 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

This review is from: The Emperor's New Clothes - Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The entire series of "Fairy Tales For Every Child" is a wonderful addition to our video library. The videos are magical and entertaining for the children and for the adults it's fun to figure which of the Hollywood stars is portraying a particular character. I am buying them all. And I hope more will come.

This review is from: The Emperor's New Clothes - Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My children really enjoyed this movie. It was a blessing for them to see other nationalities that reflects her environment she can relate to in fairytales, instead of the traditional fairytales with only white faces. My daughter is 8yrs old and when her friends come over she shows them this and many other videos from Fairytales for Every Child! They are wonderfull!
