Two magicians entertain the King, Queen and their baby with drawings done with their magic pencil. However, try as he might the bad magician is always outshone by the good magician. Frustrated by this, the bad magician kidnaps the Royal baby and starts a chain of events that cumulate in those involved finding good and love in unlikely places.
Animated like a children's' short with a narration to match, this film is unexpectedly funny and unusual. The concept itself is funny but then it becomes even more imaginative with the kidnapping of the baby; the final few moments are so unexpected and strange that it is hard not to be engrossed by it simply out of surprise! The plot may be silly but it is the sheer unexpectedness of it that had me going.
The animation is deliberately basic but it works well as it suits the style perfectly and the laughs come from the mix of the style and the writing. It has no characters and you won't really be touched by where love is found but it is very nice and very funny. God knows where you'll find this short but it is worth hunting down as it is a sparky, unpretentious piece of animation that simply entertains.
