This short animation is a tale of intolerance about a kingdom in which tolerance is severely lacking. Each person espouses opinions that clearly run counter to the interests of others. The illustrations and dialogue are light and amusing, but the moral of the story is weighty: unless we tolerate individual differences—even the king's nervous twitch—peace may only come when all are behind bars.
