doodle the court jester
An awful jester named Doodle, a precocious princess, and a fantastical painter go on a twisty-turvy quest in this screwball fairy tale farce.
Doodle the Court Jester is rather awful at his job. He’s solemn, serious, and has no sense of humor whatsoever.
It’s terribly embarrassing.
So when the only portrait of the queen’s mother is accidentally ruined, Doodle offers his assistance in getting it restored before the queen finds out… if only to escape the castle and his bell-covered costume. But with a psychology-obsessed princess, a melodramatic painter, and a slew of card-playing knights, Doodle’s errand proves to be much less dignified than he had hoped.
