I vestiti nuovi dell'Imperatore

Part of the "Cannon Movie Tales" series, nine feature films based on classic fairy tales that were produced by Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus for the Cannon Group in the mid 1980s. All of the films featured well-known actors from the U.S. and U.K. and were shot on-location in Israel. Although the series was originally conceived to have sixteen films, production stopped at nine when Rumpelstiltskin (1987) flopped at the box office, and the remaining films were sent directly to video. Despite their commercial failure, the Movie Tales garnered a cult following after the Disney Channel began airing them as "Storybook Cinema" in 1988. The nine films in the series are: Il principe ranocchio (1986), La bella addormentata (1987), I vestiti nuovi dell'Imperatore (1987), Il potere magico - Tremotino (1987), Biancaneve e i sette nani (1987), La bella e la bestia (1987), Hansel e Gretel (1987), Il gatto con gli stivali (1988), and Cappuccetto Rosso (1987).
