	Hans Christian Andersen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hans Christian Andersen [ˈhænˀs ˈkʰʁæsd̥jæn ˈanɔsn̩] or simply HC Andersen [ho̞ se ˈanɔsn̩], (April 2, 1805 – August 4, 1875) was a Danish author and poet most famous for his fairy tales.
		Andersen's father apparently believed that he might be related to nobility, and according to scholars at the Hans Christian Andersen Center, his paternal grandmother told him that the family had once been in a higher social class.
		Nevertheless, the theory that Andersen was the illegitimate son of royalty persists in Denmark, bolstered by the fact that the Danish King took a personal interest in Andersen as a youth and paid for his education.

	Cordula's Web. Hans Christian Andersen
		Hans Christian showed imagination early, which was fostered by the indulgence of his parents and by his mother's superstition.
		Andersen, a very backward and unwilling pupil, actually remained at Slagelse and at another school in Elsinore until 1827; these years, he says, were the darkest and bitterest in his life.
		Andersen was more successful for the time being with a novel, O.T. (1836), and a volume of sketches, In Sweden; in 1837 he produced the best of his novels, Only a Fiddler.

	Hans Christian Andersen -- Introduction
		Andersen's fantastic writings have now reached even further than the author himself, who spent 10 of his 70 years abroad, visiting Iberia and Istanbul, Norway and Naples, a gigantic achievement in the 19th century, when travelling was lengthy, difficult, and filled with frightful dangers.
		H.C. Andersen was born under extremely poor conditions in the Danish town Odense (the Island of Funen) as the son of a shoe-maker and a washer-woman.
		The movie is a musical and fictional account of Andersen's life in which he, as a young shoemaker, discovers his talent for writing and tells several of his stories, including “Thumbelina” and “The Emperor's New Clothes.”.

	Hans Christian Andersen
		Andersen very early showed signs of imaginative temperament, which was fostered by the indulgence and superstition of his parents.
		It was thought that he was best fitted to be a tailor; but as nothing was settled, and as Andersen wished to be an opera singer, he took matters into his own hand and started for Copenhagen in September 1819.
		Andersen was more successful for the time being with a novel, O.T., and a volume of sketches, In Sweden; in 1837 he produced the best of his romances, Only a Fiddler.

	Hans Christian Andersen - Frank Loesser/Sebastian Barry
		Hans Christian Andersen, generally have fond recollections of a charming movie.
		Memory has clung to the positive accomplishments of the film and forgotten that the storyline is minimal and rather silly; the look of the film, though lavishly produced, is stagy, artificial, and saccharinely kitschy; and Farley Granger's performance is at a level of awfulness that induces grinding of the teeth.
		All of those negatives, however, were overcome by three key ingredients: the extraordinary source materials of the Andersen stories, the songs of Frank Loesser, and a radiant performance by Danny Kaye that glows with talent, charm, and utter conviction for the material.

	Hans Christian Andersen from the Zabada CD, DVD, and Book Store (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Of all the Danny Kaye movies, this musical biography of the legendary vagabond storyteller is definitely the most poignant, extending the performer's range far beyond his usual comic shtick.
		While Hans does go on to storybook immortality, his tall tales seem to be double-edged swords, giving the frothy plot depth and emotion.
		Some sequences are overlong (the climactic ballet especially so), and the ending seems rather abrupt (Hans makes the transition back from crushed cobbler back to chipper writer in a single scene), but all in all "Hans Christian Andersen" is a charming musical with some intriguing ideas.

	Scifilm -- Musings, HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN (1952)
		Seeing it in its entirety many years later, I know why; the scenes of Andersen telling/singing stories/songs to the children give way to scenes about his love for a ballerina, and this whole subplot would have bored me to tears as a child.
		It would have been better if they had stuck to the fairy tale songs, which, in their childlike simplicity, are simply perfect; "Inchworm", in particular, still rings in my ears.
		It's a shame this movie falters as often as it does; if it had managed to maintain the charm of its early scenes, it would have been a real classic.
