The Tale of the Wonderful Potato (1985)

The Tale of the Wonderful Potato is a 1985 animated film by Anders Sørensen . Sponsored by the Danish Film Institute, it tells the history of the potato through the ages—with a focus on European history and a twinkle in its eye. Potato's humorous and slightly self-deprecating presentation belies the detailed and insightful understanding of human history that carries through from the Incan potato creation myth, to the feisty tuber's heighday in 18th-century haute cuisine.
