This article is about the 1966 Rankin/Bass film. For the 1970 French comedy, see
Le Distrait .
The Daydreamer stop motion animated –live action musical fantasy film produced by Videocraft International .[2] Jules Bass , it was written by Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Romeo Muller , based on the stories of Hans Christian Andersen . It features seven original songs by Jules Bass and Maury Laws. The film's opening features the cast in puppet and live form plus caricatures of the cast by Al Hirschfeld . Among the cast were the American actors Paul O'Keefe , Jack Gilford , Ray Bolger and Margaret Hamilton (both from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer 's 1939 classic film The Wizard of Oz Cyril Ritchard as the voice of the Sandman. Three of the voice actors: Burl Ives , and Canadian actors Billie Mae Richards and Larry D. Mann , were the voice suppliers for Videocraft's stop motion Christmas television special, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Bernard Cowan 's supervision. The "Animagic" puppet sequences were staged by Don Duga at Videocraft in New York, and supervised by Tadahito Mochinaga at MOM Production in Tokyo, Japan.
The film was Videocraft's first theatrical feature production to be distributed by Embassy Pictures , located in Los Angeles, California and headed by executive producer Joseph E. Levine . Embassy Pictures later theatrically releases the company's two other films in 1967, Mad Monster Party? The Wacky World of Mother Goose The Enchanted World of Danny Kaye : The Emperor's New ClothesThe First Christmas: The Story of the First Christmas Snow The Hobbit
A teenaged Hans Christian Andersen , the son of a poor shoemaker , daydreams instead of studying for school. He runs away from home. Whenever he falls asleep, or goes into a daydreaming spell, he dreams that he is in strange adventures with two swindling tailors, a tiny girl no bigger than a thumb, a mermaid, a devil boy in Eden, and others. In reality, as well as in his dreams, Hans is searching for the Garden of Paradise, which he does not find. The dream sequences are puppet animation, complete with a puppet version of himself, as well as with the pie man. Hans gets falsely arrested for poaching by a game warden, and is sent to work chopping wood. His father, who is out looking for Hans, gets falsely arrested, too, by the same game warden, for fishing in protected waters, and is also forced to chop wood, too, where he reunites with his son. Only when the father gives up the ring that he wore on his finger, while he was married in the past, are the father and son released from their labors. These dreams become the basis for his fairy tale fictions, which he writes as an adult: "The Little Mermaid ", "Thumbelina ", "The Ugly Duckling ", "The Emperor's New Clothes ", "Little Claus and Big Claus ", and "The Garden of Paradise ".
