Voice-over narration, thematic music and the artist’s hand combine to bring this classic tale to colorful life. The emperor’s palace in China was as luxurious as one could imagine. The walls were lined with the finest quality silk. The furniture was made of the most delicate porcelain and the most aromatic wood carved in the most delicate manner. In the garden, a nightingale sang the most beautiful songs that had ever been heard on earth. (Cut-Outs, Crafts, Mechanicals).
