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.
其实我小时候没看过，所以对情节就没什么情结。奇趣美可真不容易！母狐蹦迪那段可太劲了！小皇帝的锥形设定也很奇趣。好色之徒的刻画惊人直接。按京剧脸谱代入角色真是太棒了。没想到始作俑者是BBC？@梅龙镇
不知道为什么这部评价这么高……而我小时候竟然没看过……不过总的来说还是挺有乐趣的，尤其是后半部分哈~
我们还能有这样吸引下一代的前瞻性的好作品吗

重温童年看国漫的幸福滋味，再次感谢老一辈艺术家和工匠创造出那么好的作品，对比看一下现在的国漫，想象力倒退严重……
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~~
印象深刻的，好多个爸爸。。。其实我觉得县太爷蛮孝顺的。
以前的老中国动画非常具有中国古典的韵味，这种风格在90年代的时候已经渐渐消失了，现在的国产动画不是学日本就是学好莱坞。而且本片的人物形象鲜明，审美也还不错，可惜过于低幼化了。袁公就是中国版的普罗米修斯啊~
10分，剧本实在太好了，小时候超爱看，现在也依然如此。
最爱独腿小书生，
中国版的哈利波特啊，或者说应该是英国版的天书奇谭……
当官的手下是坏的，
社会主义化的《平妖传》，官场污秽一片，庙里也不干净，只有农民淳朴善良，一毛也不多拿。狐狸一家亲情感人；另都学会点石成金了还要讨好权力阶级，果然中国好狐狸，公务员铁饭碗才是正道。古典悲剧结尾。旧上海美术制片厂的传统中国动画，二维和抽象的美很好；没有文艺复兴的文化基础，不必一味追求好莱坞化。
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
电影名字翻译得很好，黄金屋，对应的是颜如玉，是电影史乃至整个人类史上，最深刻的揭露所有颜如玉的行径的好作品！电影大部分都让我们觉得闯入者是很坏的人，但当他揭露了颜如玉骗财，骗感情，让丈夫没有孩子的时候。。。颜如玉立刻就把丈夫和闯入者都灭了！揭露了所有颜如玉在好看的外表下，在优雅的举止下，在侃侃而谈的风度下，最深处却藏着何其不堪的灵魂！
啥？我看了五十分钟的啥？五十分钟可以用一句话说清楚的啥玩意
和《大闹天宫》以孙悟空在花果山另立山头，建立造反根据地的结尾相比，《天书奇谭》已经显示出后革命时代的症候了——没有出路。袁公被押回天庭，蛋生无非替天行道，皇帝治下的人间变得更加太平了。
铺垫一小时，最后五分钟，开头感觉是个大片，结果是个巨坑。
最爱狐狸老太婆，
反派又怂又傻又没智商，他枪没在手上的每一分我都在期待反杀，结果所有人一直在那里唧唧歪歪。美人计也好扯。两个成年人肉搏都能干掉反派，结果一直水了一个半小时，我还以为男女主之一和反派有背后交易才一直不反杀。最后的结局极其没意思，又无聊又没劲。我看有个评论说讽刺说应该反派黑人。我忽然想笑，反派绑匪是黑人，女主换成亚裔，那才是齐活儿了。
