Staring Eric Idle I expected this story to be comical, but it was actually very dark and disturbing. Though the dialogue is spoken in rhymes, the frankness of it all is bone chilling.

There's more to it. Corruption by those in trusted societal positions costs the people who trusted them the most. Also, if the social group isn't doing their absolute best, they can be enthralled and lured away to their fates by sweet lies of an outsider.

Yup. It was in the 1980's that the late James Horner made a name for himself. Including this motion picture, just before he lent his music to Don Bluth's "An American Tail".
@ryan82119826 жыл бұрын
He first did the score for Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek III the search for Spock. He did Cocoon and Cocoon:The Return, Aliens and Avatar. He did Titanic and The Amazing Spider-Man. He was killed in a plane crash in 2015.

Each character stands real... the piper hypnotizing under an occult veil Long back in my younger years The pied piper story was taught by my teachers As a lesson In my school of boys Lamartiniere When a person is betrayed by peers all are avenged with tears, Like Hamelin holocausted with piper's curse, dare not to play any political affairs The mayor repented for not giving the deserving share lately searched for piper to hear now wishing to give him gold and silver. Once realizing that it was a lost endeavor they expiated when their children were gone forever Actually you remember the words of piper in action That he shall protect the lame boy from any unnatural selection As rainbow in vision is always an illusion and the pleasant sights that children were taken for was just a sweet poison and nothing more. Sadly the boy did not realized that he was never deprived, as those withdrawn children who went to the mountain missed their parents and gaurdian. With all promises the lame boy was given That he was the only one forgiven

Hamelin Town is flooded with rats and the Mayor announces Ten Thousand Gold coins as a reward to those who dispose off all the rats from the town. The Pied Piper played his flute and all the rats follow his tune right into the river. The greedy Mayor refuses to reward him. The Piper teaches him a lesson
