The Emperor's New Clothes (Faerie Tale Theatre Series) (TV)
1985 · Movie · 54 min. · United States
Thanks to two con men, an overly fashion-conscious Emperor finds out that there's a lot more to being a good ruler than just looking the part. Bo (America's Sweetheart's Alan Arkin) and Morty (The Honeymooner's Art Carney) show up to a new kingdom just in time for the Emperor's (The Producers' Dick Shawn) weekly fashion show and convince him they can create the finest, most beautiful outfit in the world-which just happens to be invisible to anyone who is stupid and unfit for office. >br> Afraid to be seen as unworthy, everyone in the court-including the Emperor-buys into the scan. But will he go so far as to parade in front of his subjects in his invisible finery?
