How Wang-Fo Was Saved (1987)

France
Animated Short Film
Original Title: Comment Wang-Fo fut sauvé
Director: René Laloux
Writers: René Laloux, Marguerite Yourcenar
Composer: Gabriel Yared
Cast: Olivier Cruveiller, Jean-Claude Dreyfus

A Chinese emperor, raised in isolation with only a renowned artist’s paintings to serve as an indication of the outside world, sends for the artist in question in order to punish him when he discovers that reality doesn’t come close to matching the beauty of his art, in Laloux’s conventionally animated but thought-provokingly compelling short film.
