KING OF THE HILL: "Won’t You Pimai Neighbor" episode
Written and produced by John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky
The nickname for this episode of the long-running hit animated FOX television series King of the Hill is "He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Buddha," and we learn more about Buddhism in this 22 minute piece than in many a full-length feature work. It’s a skillful and sweetly funny send-up of the Kundun story of the identification of the infant Dalai Lama. Writer/Producer John Altschuler is expected to attend for a Q&A after the screening. (2000, 22 min)
