| Summary |
Young DUKE ERNEST wants to become a good knight, but circumstances are not in his favor. The Emperor-who wants to claim the Duke's castle and marry his mother-has Ernest wrongfully accused of murder and jailed. The only way to escape death is to enlist and go in search of the legendary Carbuncle Stone. Along the way, Ernest encounters carnivorous rocks, magnetic mountains, the giant bird Roc and many fantastical adventures. Dammbeck worked on this animated film-based on a medieval legend first written down in 1284-for almost ten years. Critics called the film a masterpiece and highlighted the fanciful characters, the beautiful color scheme and the film's poetry. |
