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...
Jester Till was nominated in 2003 for an Academy Award in the category Best Animation.
