About this episode
The pilot for a proposed series called "The Enchanted World of Danny Kaye," The Emperor's New Clothes tells a version of Hans Christian Anderson's classic fable wherein a emperor gets swindled by a pair of slick scammers who appeal to his vanity, selling him a suit made of "invisible" thread.
Mike, Richard, and Chris discuss this uneven fable and the amazing year Rankin/Bass had in 1972.
