Out of all the animated features that Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass produced throughout the 1960's and 1970's for that manner,this one entitled "The Daydreamer" was very stale for its premise,and one of the most boring. This one which features claymation and live action sequences.It concerns a boy and his wanderings around the dreams of being with the characters (based on an anthology of stories by Hans Christian Anderson) to find adventures whereever he goes. The only thing that saves this film is Maury Laws' brilliant score along with several of the songs in which the characters that lend their voices to the songs can't save this film,and it loses interest very quickly. Great for the kids,but for older children and adults,be forewarned. If you liked good children's material from the team of Rankin and Bass,I highly suggest getting a tape of "Rudolph:The Red Nose Reindeer",and be satisfied.
