What happens

Andersen Stories (アンデルセン物語, Anderusen Monogatari), known outside Japan as Paramount Pictures Presents Hans Christian Andersen, is a Japanese anime anthology series based on the stories of Hans Christian Andersen which aired on Fuji TV from January 3 to December 26, 1971. It consists of 52 episodes and produced by Zuiyo Enterprise and animated by Mushi Production. The show is a third entry in the Calpis Comic Theater, a precursor of the World Masterpiece Theater series. Zuiyo Enterprise would split in 1975 into Nippon Animation and Zuiyo Company, which retained the rights of the series along with Mushi Production. Nippon Animation employed some of the anime's production staff and continued with the World Masterpiece Theater franchise. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
