Jester Till
35mm/2003/Begium-Germany
Director and Producer: Eberhard Junkersdorf
One of Europe's most loved
folk tale characters
comes for the first time to colorful life in the
animated
version of the adventures of Jester Till,
the original class clown. Till is a free spirit
representing
the simple wisdom and earthy humor
of the peasant folk. In countless legends, he
wanders the landscape of the late Middle Ages
getting in and out of trouble and making fun of
the rich and powerful. He has the universal
appeal of a clown or court jester, instantly
understood and embraced in every country.
In this totally new adventure, young Till is on
his
way to the bustling city of Boomstadt to visit his
dear old grandfather, the slightly off- center
wizard
Marcus. The old man and his faithful assistant,
the owl Cornelius, are cooking up a special
magic potion of happiness for Till to give to
the people of the city. Unfortunately, however,
the potion is sabotaged by Marcus' old enemy
Dr . Death, a skeletal figure, and Marcus
disappears
in a terrible explosion. Now, Cornelius
and Till have to find him …

their present owners.
They take to their heels and meet up on
the country road: Gwendolyn the cat, Buster
the dog, Fred the donkey, and Tortellini the
rooster. Not only their refugee existence and
loneliness forget them together- it is, above all,
their love of music that proves to be a strong
bond of friendship. They decide to make capital
from their vocal chords as a singing group:
The Fearless Four want to become famous in
Paris on the lines of "One for all and all for
one"! However, they end up in Bremen- all the
fault of signpost pointing in the wrong direction.
The hanseatic town is ruled by the concern of
the mysterious tyrant Dr. Greed who has forbidden
singing by polis order. The four newcomer
bards also get into his clutches. They
actually get a contract and are allowed to make
appearances, but they have to waste their
musical talent on mindless advertising jingles.
They need to call on all of their unbeatable
team spirit and heroic courage to stand up to
the evil doctor. And so The Fearless Four finally
manage the city from its curse.
