| The King and the Mockingbird | comment |
A classic French animated film (French title: Le Roi et l'oiseau, literally The King and the Bird) directed by Paul Grimault, with one of the longest development times in animation history; even longer than The Thief and the Cobbler.note Although the total amount of years is less when you consider that the film was made in two parts: 1948–52 and 1977–79, a total of 6 or so years. The production delay was caused by money and copyright issues, with director Grimault spending 15 years getting the rights of the film back, then another 10 getting funding to finish it.King Charles V+III=VIII+VIII=XVI, ruler of Tachycardia, is a vain, spiteful bully whose life's passion is hunting - not that he's particularly good at it, owing to being cross-eyed. His greatest foe is the titular Mockingbird, who seeks revenge on the king for killing his wife while hunting, and mocks him at every turn. When the king falls in love with a portrait of a beautiful shepherdess, the mockingbird seizes on the chance to overthrow the cruel monarch once and for all.The film is dedicated to its scriptwriter Jacques Prévert, who died in 1977 before it was fully finished. It is considered a major inspiration by Hayao Miyazaki.The 1952 release, retitled The Curious Adventures of Mr. Wonderbird and featuring the voice of Peter Ustinov, has entered the public domain and can be viewed on the Web Archive. The Criterion Channel offers the completed 1980 version in the original French with subtitles. | |

He gets a more active role once the portrait lovers freedom is threatened and by the end he masterminds a rebellion from the Lower City inhabitants and all the trapped animals that ends the evil king's tyranny once and for all. | |

Humans Are Flawed: An incredibly subtleinvoked example. Notice how the portrait characters are idealized in comparison to the comically portrayed humans? This is especially evident with the bumbling King Charles and his dangerously competent self-portrait. | |

Bizarrchitecture: In true surrealist fashion, the city and palace are filled with non-sensical building placement (sometimes, in a cartoonishly situational way), huge empty spaces and impossibly high towers with the endless staircases to complement them. As mentioned below, King Charles' trap doors, which he is incredibly fond of. In an architectural sense and point of view however, those trap doors range from bizarre to downright impossible. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| The King and the Mockingbird / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: This happens to everyone that King Charles drops down a hole most notably King Charles himself, who is dropped down a hole by a painting of him who comes to life, assumes his role, and is treated as if he was the king from that point onward. The fact that the button that activates these trapdoors has a skull pawn on it heavily implies the worst. Also, King Charles's dog. | |

However, since this is the same guy who killed the Mockingbird's wife and has the nasty habit to kill his servants for the flimsiest reasons, no one will shed a tear. | |

Art Shift: The lions seem to shift between at least three different models. The Chimney Sweep and Shepherdess are drawn in a more idealized, realistic style, while everyone and everything else is caricatured. | |

Motifs | |
| The King and the Mockingbird / int_aa2cd0c9 | comment |
Motifs: Observant viewers will notice the imprisonment motif prevalent throughout the film. The entire film takes place in King Charles' castle: no one except the mockingbird is shown to leave the place until it's finally torn down. King Charles is established as a(n incompetent) hunter, and has a museum dedicated to sculptures of his supposed exploits. His self-portrait hunts for the Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep throughout the castle; the latter two even find themselves in the museum. Various animals are locked up in cages: the monkeys in the zoo, the big cats and bears in the dungeon; etc. Even the mockingbird's home resembles a birdcage. One of the mockingbird's children, a yellow bird, repeatedly finds himself entrapped in the same yellow cage. The final scene is the giant robot freeing the bird from the cage, and smashing it once and for all. | |
