In this animated film, the small Polish village of Chelm is populated entirely by imbeciles because of an accident that occurred shortly after the creation of the world. Aaron (Tommy J. Michaels), a bright young orphan, moves there to live with his aunt and uncle, and is surprised to discover that he and his pet goat, Zlateh, are by far the smartest inhabitants. When an evil magician and his golem try to steal the synagogue's holy book, Aaron and Zlateh must use their wits to stop him.

Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader The animation's no great shakes, and the songs are terrible. Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Steve Rhodes Internet Reviews As short stories to be read aloud, the stories are undoubtedly entertaining and effective, but as a long cartoon, this version is painfully dull. Rated: 1/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Read all reviews
