Synopsis

Medieval times. A jester is heading to the castle, but can't help running into a fruit tree in his path. Again and again. After a while, he lands nose-down and when he gets up, his nose remains stuck in the ground. He gives up, and we see that "wise" people aren't faring much better. He returns to his master, who gives him a replacement nose and sets off on an easier path.

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
LeRoyMarko Experimental short film from Richard Condie. No real story but lots of colors and sounds. We kind of follow the lead character in his quest to get to the castle.Out of 100, I give it 73. That's good for **½ out of ****.Seen in Sudbury, on December 31st, 2002.
Keith Ammann Really, this animated short is pretty dumb and random -- the hapless jester; the cackling, mocking flowers; the lurching sun with the Frankenstein voice. Nevertheless, I have never laughed so hard in my life at anything I've seen on a movie screen. "The Apprentice" was part of the Canadian Festival of Animation, back when animation festivals were huge and there were, like, four a year. How come none of them are available on video? Man, I miss those.
Robert Reynolds Richard Condie, under the umbrella of the National Film Board of Canada, does some fairly odd and wonderful work. This one is pretty strange even for Condie! I am seldom at a loss for words, but trying to describe this one and do it justice is difficult. This airs somewhat frequently on O Canada on the Cartoon Network. The show itself is well worth watching. Catch this one if you can. Highly recommended!
