The Emperor and the Nightingale
Tales from around the world jump off the page. Featuring an Andersen story in which a Chinese emperor learns that all that glitters is not gold.
Myths, legends and tales from around the world jump off the pages and straight into children's imagination in this innovative mix of animation and live action. Children help create the artwork and play all the characters, creating a fantastic mix of multi-layered pop-up book and magical stage play.
The episodes combine traditional lighting, props, humour, make-up and costumes with cutting-edge virtual studio technology to immerse the audience in some of the world's most exciting stories, some well known, others less so.
Featuring the Hans Christian Andersen tale about a Chinese emperor who learns that all that glitters is not gold.
