"Irony" might be one way to describe this little fairy tale about a king who has a rip in his pants and goes to a local tailor to get if fixed. Meanwhile, a giant ogre has apparently been terrorizing the town.
Fixing the pants, having bees get into the king's pants, having the king trapped in a pond ready to be killed by the ogre and then having the bees come back and get rid of the beast all tie in together in this strangely-compelling cartoon.
I didn't find myself laughing at anything in this cartoon, yet it was pretty fascinating. It certainly made me stick with it to see what crazy thing would happen next and how all of this could somehow lead to a happy ending. That ending, by the way, is a nice one but also has a strange element to it (which I won't spoil.) Don't expect laughs, but don't pass this UB Iwerks "oldie" up, either. It offers a very interesting story.
