The Pied Piper of Hamelin (Faerie Tale Theatre Series) (TV)
1985 · Movie · 52 min. · United States
The Pied Piper of Hamlin teaches us all that any promise made is to be kept...or else! Based on the poem by Robert Browning, Monty Python's Eric Idle stars as a Piper who is hired by the Mayor of Hamelin Town to rid the city of rats. With his pipe to his lips, he leads the rats out of town. But when he goes to back for his money, the politicians refuse to pay him. To teach the town a lesson, the Piper raises the pipe to his lips again-and that's when the real trouble starts!
