The Ludwig Van Picture Show.//Hans Christian Andersen

Hans Christian Andersen is a musical movie that won  the Academy Award for Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Scoring, Best Song (Thumbelina) and Best Sound in 1952.
Andersen, a cobbler, enchants with his novels every child of Odense, but the malevolent adults of the city force him to escape to Copenhagen because they think that he leads kids astray from school. Here he finds a job at Royal Theater, where he creates shoes for the prima ballerina Dora. Dora is delighted by the shoes, as Hans is by her.
Inspired by her beauty, he invents one of his beautiful novels, “The little mermaid”, that becomes the plot of a ballet then represented at the Royal Theater. Hans could not assist to the successful ballet, because Dora’s extremely jealous husband locked him in a room.
