WATCH: Something Special #63 – “Disaster bisexual” Hans Christian Andersen

Every Monday on Global Comment, we share Something Special you don’t want to miss. To fit with the six core pillars of the magazine, these will alternate between the themes of watch / listen / read / see / taste / place.

It will be something different every week, but it will always be about something worth seeing, hearing or watching, or a place worth visiting or a food worth tasting.

This week, a fascinating video to watch about a man whose tales you have almost certainly heard in some form or another, whether through bedtime stories as a child or Disney films on TV. But this is a story of Hans Christian Andersen that you might not have heard before.

Describing him as a “disaster bisexual”, this funny and informative video from Kaz Rowe will make you look at stories like the Ugly Duckling and Little Mermaid in a totally different way.
