The Emperor's New Clothes

Directed by Ben Stockman 

The Hans Christian Andersen classic tale told with a melodramatic twist. The Emperor of China cares for nothing but clothes, and the Minister of the Robes plays on this weakness to rob the royal weavers and persecute the Empress. Two rogues convince the Emperor that they can weave a cloth which cannot be seen by anyone unfit for the position he holds, so of course every member of the court is afraid to confess that he cannot see the Big Man's new threads. The resulting comic situations enable the rogues to save the Empress and the weavers and expose the villainy of the minister while the Emperor proudly walks in procession clad in nothing but a straight little shirt to show his people the glory of his new clothes.
