David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
当年邻居家拿电影画报糊墙，靠近房顶的地方就是《天书奇谭》的剧照，本人觊觎已久，某天趁邻居不注意搬桌子上椅子把画报给撕下来带走了。后来在央视六套看完全片，悲剧动画，泪流满面，当时认为这片是葫芦娃的续集来着。
布里布里～布里布里～ 开心第一，开心的时候大概率不会互相伤害？其次我相信小新也从未放弃学习！完美的东西让AI去做吧，人类值得拥有不断“犯错”的青春～想起《贝克街的亡灵》，没记错的话里边要杀死精英后代，重构日本，悲伤调子；小新这次里边的侦探队像柯南的侦探小队，“犯人就是……”也很联动了～ 不过设定是反过来，是想让人人成为精英，整体开心。两者都涉及到AI科幻元素……但小新这个是给成人的童话 +科幻啊。不见得只有悲剧是“伟大”的。
每一帧胶片修复的都是光影与时间。
最为一个动画片 罕见的几乎没有展现任何 人性 之美。看后面剧本是和BBC合作是受到bbc赞赏的 了然了 哎
每一帧胶片修复的都是光影与时间。
啥也别说了，这才代表了中国动画片的巅峰，看看这故事，看看这人物设定，无一不是经典，完全超过同一阶段迪士尼的动画片。可惜啊，如今这样的作品再也不会产生了。
上海美术电影制片厂在上个世纪制作了大量基于传统文化的美术片电影，陪伴了几代人成长。其中巅峰之作有1961年的《大闹天宫》、1979年的《哪吒闹海》、以及这部1983年的《天书奇谭》。
蛋儿生蛋儿生，脖子上挂大饼；童年岁月已无影，今日重现当年情~~
也是小时候看过的，那会觉得狐狸精挺漂亮的。
一神仙带着天书下凡（类似于普罗米修斯，他的结局也像），无奈天书被三狐狸精吸取四处作乱，而男主则是真正向神仙学习了天书要去主持公道，最终男主打败三狐狸精并从此利用天书的能力造福于民。虽然角色“表演”太浮夸叙事也较拖，但影片作画的确水平很高很有想象力，配乐也很好。
《天书奇谭》最让我感动的是影片最后一段的纪录片，不由得感叹老一辈艺术家们的用心，他们在追求艺术的道路上一丝不苟，每一个部门都有着相同的目标，这不单是物质的快乐，更是精神的升华。
经典之经典。中国早期动画，美术品味与质量都秒杀现在哈日商业画法；而且，基于中国民间神话改编，故事性很强，充满玄幻氛围。即使现在重看，也觉趣味十足。
不知道大家都记住了什么，我记住了，所谓天庭，高高在上，不管人间疾苦，所谓朝廷，愚昧自私，追求无度的欲望，所谓人类，让妖物登堂入室，指手画脚。只有袁公，不顾上级命令和自身安危，把知识和希望留给了孩子
既有故事性又有娱乐性，各个人物都立得很饱满，毫无疑问给五星。从天书象征的privilege 到贪婪的官差、向往公正的民，再到皇的高高在上，每一场戏都很值得推敲，结合出品年代来看，立意实在大胆又先锋。最后要夸一夸修复团队，看完幕后才知道很多音轨是完全重制的，太用心了！！😭
近期重新回味了下
等了这么久，感觉有点无趣和失望，笑点不多，哭点也没有。
我也不清楚小时候特别爱看动画片的我为什么没看过这部动画片。看片明以为是个框架很大的故事，没想到是个格局很小的一个故事。剧情很简单，一句话就能概括：小孩除妖的故事。故事适合全年龄段观看。袁公简直就是中国的普罗米修斯，相比于师父的大格局心态，天庭玉帝却是小心眼。直接表达了上层阶级对下层阶级对于资源的封杀与统治，这种改编对于权威的辛辣讽刺非常大胆。同时影片还讽刺了普通百姓的封建迷信、官场的利益熏心和愚昧贪心的皇帝。而且本片对于反派角色的描写比主角还要多，还要丰富和立体。反派一伙人的戏份明显比蛋生要多。美术很棒，水墨画风格现在看也很美。配乐也是一流的，而配音演员则是非常强大的阵容。这才是纯正的中国特色的动画电影。由于我没有这片的童年情怀，所以我只能给四颗星。毕竟现在看来多少有些过时了。8分。
国产动画No.1，最喜爱的动画片，没有之一。
我觉得小时候应该看过，但确实记不得了，不知道是不是当时被吓到或者怎样……其实中国动画就应该这样，很有自己的特点，无论是故事还是绘画。层层递进地故事情节丝毫不会让人觉得无聊，每一层毫无拖沓。
小时候看过很多遍的动画片，现在想起国产动画片依旧觉得是经典。故事性很强，人物特点鲜明，三个笨狐狸很逗趣，印象深刻。
