The film opens with a narrated disclaimer over footage of an opening coffin. The narrator explains that the film's climax is so terrifying that it may kill the viewer, and reassures the audience that if they die of fright while watching the film, they will receive a free burial service, and it closes on the casket which has a card inside reading "Reserved for You."[1]
Newlyweds Jenni (Peggy Webber) and Eric (John Hudson) move into Eric's palatial country home. Jenni is Eric's second wife; his first wife Marion died when she accidentally slipped and hit her head on the edge of a decorative pond on the estate. At the home they meet Eric's friends, the Reverend Snow (Russ Conway) and his wife (Toni Johnson), as well as Mickey (Alex Nicol), the developmentally disabled gardener. Eric privately mentions to the Snows that Jenni spent time in an asylum following the sudden death of both her parents, and Mrs. Snow reveals that Jenni is very wealthy.
Jenni is disturbed both by Mickey's belief that Marion's ghost wanders the estate and by Marion's self-portrait inside the house, which Jenni believes resembles her mother. When she begins to hear unexplained screaming noises and see skulls around her house, she believes that Marion is haunting her. Though Eric speculates to Jenni that Mickey, who was a childhood friend of Marion and thus dislikes Jenni, may be behind the trickery, Jenni worries that she is going insane. Eric then suggests to remove Marion's self-portrait from the home. Eric and Jenni take the painting outside and burn it. While they clean up the remains of the painting, a skull emerges from the ashes. While Jenni panics at the sight of the skull, Eric denies that the skull is there. Jenni faints and Eric withdraws the skull and hides it, revealing that he was responsible for the trickery all along in an effort to get hold of her wealth.
Believing she has finally lost her sanity, Jenni resolves to be committed. She tells Eric that the entire property will be meticulously searched for the skull as a last resort. Before Eric can retrieve it, Mickey secretly steals the skull and brings it to the Reverend, revealing Eric's plans. That night, Eric prepares to murder Jenni and stage it as a suicide. Jenni sees Marion's ghost in Mickey's greenhouse and flees back to the house. When she enters, Eric begins throttling her. The ghost then appears and chases Eric outside and about the property; it finally corners and attacks him, drowning him in the decorative pond.
After Jenni regains consciousness, the Snows arrive. Mrs. Snow comforts a hysterical Jenni and the Reverend discovers Eric's body in the pond. Some undisclosed time later, Jenni and the Snows depart from the house. Reverend Snow declares whether or not Marion's death was an accident will remain a mystery.
2012.01.28心血来潮又看了一遍，经典就是经典啊～苏秀老师！毕克老师！丁建华……好多人啊！音乐也好听……
袁公窃取天书，似普罗米修斯盗取火种与接踵而至的潘多拉魔盒。授予神力本为造福世人，而为恶人所用又多了后患无穷。
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。
小时候看的，虽然很久远了，但是知道当时觉得特别赞，哈哈。那个时候我 还年幼
蛋生：打倒了妖精却无法击垮体制，拯救了百姓却无法拯救师父。
多少次没能看到下集！电视和连环画都没有下集，很多年后才在网上看到后半部分的故事
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~~
2021.11.6大银幕4K修复版，包场。狐狸母女进宫后看睡着，上个世纪左翼电影把清白的良心还给了底层，一百年不到，国产影视剧又把心机和穷人、天真和富人进行了链接，穷人也许更容易败坏，但一定是富人先堕落的，
豆瓣250极度不靠谱ING.这都能入选？？！
虽然牵强附会，我还是觉得：三只狐狸精就是四人帮，蛋生就是实事求是，蝗灾是除四害，老百姓家里的粮食被变没了是3y自然灾害，老虎吃人是WG。
伏笔埋的不错，反转也还可以，但剧情缺少紧张感和起伏，略显平淡
一个质量不错的小故事，翻译作意外可能会更好吧，一个意外的相遇引起的一连串悲剧，揭开各自最不堪的那部分，全剧最悲剧的是哪个园丁，如此死法也是出乎意料，简介说是希区柯克式的惊悚片，但更像是致敬希区柯克的一部剧情片
还是得承认故事本身放在今天看是偏弱的，但是81年竟然是40年前了，最后那些幕后看的人动容
意味很多
这才是传说中的中国风吧；不是给小孩看的吗，干嘛弄那么惨的结局；配音很棒，完全不用字幕添累赘；这里面的玉帝是大吃货，皇帝是小皮孩，蛋生是个喜欢从中间开始吃烙饼的小朋友。
镜头语言不错，三个人在橘子园中漫步，劫匪和妻子走的更近，而科技富豪丈夫则一个人走在了后边，这让人对剧情后边的走向充满了好奇？那熬人的一夜劫匪和年轻的妻子会发生点什么？
Lily自己演技就挺拉的了，大可不必提携男朋友演这种自作聪明冗长无趣的电影凸显她捉急的挑选剧本能力。。。。
虽然大家都说这是普罗米修斯盗取天书的故事，但蛋生和袁公两人的戏份相比于狐狸精三人组少了些，出彩的地方几乎都在反派们的表演上，这就让讽刺性显得极强。
这是中国动画中的又一部里程碑似的、绝对顶级的、足以彪炳史册的伟大作品，从故事情节的编排到人物造型与性格的设计再到动画技术的运用都堪称无以伦比，它虽然没有《大闹天宫》《哪吒闹海》在国际上那么知名，但我相信不少人还是会在自己心中将其列为中国动画的第一，因为《天书奇谭》绝对有这个实力。
再次证明，沙雕死于话多。还有，鞋带很重要。
