A clever animated fable about the titular Baron who lives in a castle and delights in entertaining his friends with tall stories of derring-do.
When the Baron is summoned to the presence of the King of Trukesban he meets five amazing men on the journey.
Sent on a mission by the King, his companions are able to help him in his various adventures – for instance, when his sailing ship is swallowed by a gigantic whale, one huffs and puffs until they are free.
Director Jean Image shows a real fantasy world, one to which composer Michael Legrand adds the music and songs.
This 78-minute French film (originally released as Les fabuleuses aventures du légendaire Baron de Munchausen) was dubbed into English so skilfully that viewers would never know it had been.
