Les fabuleuses aventures du légendaire Baron de Munchausen (translation: The Fabulous Adventures of the Legendary Baron Munchausen) is a 1979 animation fantasy co-written, directed and produced by Jean Image under his own production company, Films Jean Image, with Studio Jean Image for the animation. A French production, the film adapts the tall tales of the 18th-century German nobleman, Baron Munchausen, and his exploits as a hunter, soldier and statesman, including his fantastic quests and his entourage of extraordinary servants. The movie was followed by a sequel, Le secret des sélénites, also written and directed by Image, produced in 1982 and released in 1984.
