Tales from the Goose Lady: The Egg Who Would Be King

About This Movie

Tales from the Goose Lady: The Egg Who Would Be King is a curious little gem from 1999 that blends whimsical storytelling with a hint of absurdity. The narrative unfolds in a unique way, as The Goose and Juanito narrate a tale about a chicken who lays a Humpty Dumpty instead of the more expected golden egg. The offbeat charm and the playful atmosphere create a lighthearted tone, while the pacing feels like a gentle stroll through a fable. The practical effects are modest but add a certain quaintness to the film's overall aesthetic. Performances are spirited, and there's something undeniably captivating about its unusual premise, making it a peculiar footnote in the landscape of family cinema.

This title has had a rather limited release and has a bit of a cult following among collectors who appreciate its quirky narrative style. It’s not readily available in most formats, which adds to its allure. Those who enjoy family films that stray from the conventional will likely find it an interesting addition to their shelves, albeit one that might require some digging to track down.
