Short description

A young shepherdess and a chimneysweep plan to get married and escape the clutches of a tyrannical king in love with her, assisted by the guile of a cheeky mockingbird, the king's archenemy.

What's left behind the scenes

Production of the animated film began in 1948, and it was originally to be titled "The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep" (La bergère et le ramoneur). The film could not be completed. In 1967, Paul Grimault bought back the rights to the picture and began searching for funding to finish production and release a feature-length version.
