 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Daydreamer is a 1966 live-action/stop-motion hybrid film released by Rankin/Bass Productions.Set in 1800, the film centers around a young Hans Christian Andersen (Paul O'Keefe) — known simply as "Chris" — who is the son of a poor shoemaker (Jack Gilford). Chris regularly escapes his normal life by daydreaming and imagining himself in fantasy stories. With the help of The Sandman (Cyril Ritchard), Chris travels through stop-motion (or "Animagic", as Rankin/Bass called it) animated versions of The Little Mermaid, The Emperor's New Clothes, and Thumbelina in search of the Garden of Paradise his father mentioned.The film also stars Ray Bolger, Margaret Hamilton, Hayley Mills, Burl Ives, Tallulah Bankhead, Terry-Thomas, Victor Borge, Ed Wynn, Patty Duke, Boris Karloff, and Sessue Hayakawa.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Actor Allusion: Margaret Hamilton's character is an obvious Expy of Miss Gulch, a character she previously played in The Wizard of Oz, having a similar bitchy attitude towards the main characters.

 Adaptational Badass: The toad in the original Thumbelina story simply wanted the titular character to marry her son. Here, the toad is depicted as gigantic compared to Thumbelina and Chris, and appears to want to eat them instead.

 Adaptational Karma: In the original version of The Emperor's New Clothes, the tailors get away scott-free after the fabric is revealed to be fake. In this version, they are chased away by an angry crowd throwing rocks upon being exposed as frauds.
