''The Magic Pear Tree'' is a 1968 animated short film (ten minutes) directed by Charles Swanson.

Jean (Creator/PaulFrees) is a dashing rogue somewhere in medieval France. He arrives at the castle of a rich, fat marquis, and meets the marquis's sexy young wife Chantrelle (Creator/AgnesMoorehead!). Horny Chantrelle immediately tries to have sex Jean, but he pumps the brakes, giving her three tasks that she must perform to win his affections.

No relation to the Chinese folk tale of the same name.

!!Tropes:

* AllWomenAreLustful: Chantrelle tries to pull Jean away for sex right after she meets him.
* AsideGlance: Jean looks at the camera on his way to the castle.
* GardenOfLove: Jean and Chantrelle have sex in the marquis' garden, with the gullible marquis watching from the branches of a pear tree (see TitleDrop below).
* JabbaTableManners: The marquis climbs up onto the dinner table and crawls along it shoveling food into his mouth, while muttering "more more more".
* MatchCut: An early shot shifts from an overhead view of Jean riding his horse to a side shot of Jean in the exact same position.
* TitleDrop: Jean scams his way into sex with Chantrelle by suggesting that the three of them rest under a pear tree in the marquis's garden. He climbs the tree to get some fruit, then admonishes the marquis for screwing his wife in broad daylight and in front of Jean. When the marquis protests that he is doing no such thing, Jean says the tree is a "magic pear tree" that presents the illusion of people having intercourse. He suggests the marquis tests it, so the marquis does, and thinks it's magic when he sees Jean having sex with his wife.
* TrophyWife: The very wealthy marquis has gotten himself a young and very good-looking wife.
* YourCheatingHeart: Chantrelle, who is not too enthusiastic about her gross husband, is very aggressive about seducing Jean.
