The Tree with the Golden Apples

The Tree with the Golden Apples is an animated short that is adapted from a tale in Holland. It is an episode part of the animated anthology "Animated Tales of the World".

Summary
Set in a Dutch settlement beside a large lake, Marieke's father has the mill. As Marieke's father and Marieke grows up into an adult woman, her father calls three neighbouring brothers to the house and tells them that whoever brings him a golden apple from a tree that grows on an island far away from the mill in the lake shall have Marieke's hand in marriage (and shall also inherit the mill). Two older brothers named Cornelius and Dirk steal their younger brother Jan's work and then take credit for it, which may resort to trickery to reach the island first. Jan has a good heart, and the wind has a mind of its own.
