A classic French animated film (French title: ''Le Roi et l'oiseau''), with one of the longest development times in animation history; even longer than ''WesternAnimation/TheThiefAndTheCobbler''. Although the total amount of years is less when you consider that the film was made in two parts: 1948-1952 and 1977-1979, a total of 6 or so years.
It is considered a major inspiration by HayaoMiyazaki.
