The Fourth King (1977 TV Movie) User Reviews

Great animation

[Laz75 · 9/10 · 27 January 2001]

This is one of the few works made by Romano Scarpa in the field of animation and it's one of the best (well, all of them are the best actually). The story plot isn't particularly interesting or original (while the songs are anyway very good), but the animation is really brilliant. Very Disney-like (though it was made with a low budget), but even better I daresay; his animals are really... real! Definitely recommended to anyone who loves great animation.

The only reason to watch this show.

I recently, finally purchased The Fourth King. I have been a fan/friend of Laurie Beechman for 18 years. The film itself is very simple and should appeal to the very very young. The only thrill for the adults is at the very end. If you can sit through this very basic and simple short you are in for a rare treat...one of the greatest singers to have ever sung a note lets loose full throttle on the beautiful finale! The song is simple but the performance is beyond first rate. Chill factor - 10!
