The Softest Blanket In All of Dingledörf

In this surreal animated comedy, a medieval baby king lost his blanket in a fire and sends his people on a quest to find him a replacement: the softest blanket in all the land. His wildly unexpected reactions to each blanket leave the citizens wondering whether they will be rewarded... or executed.​
