The Man in the Iron Mask is a 1985 Australian made-for-television animated adventure film directed by Geoff Collins and produced by Burbank Films Australia. It is based on Alexandre Dumas' novel of the same name. It was written by Keith Dewhurst. The plot takes place years after The Three Musketeers (1986) - even though the latter animated film was released one year later -, and it is known for a scene that displays a complex fireworks animation, as well for its bittersweet ending.
The film consists of 53 minutes in length and features the voices of Colin Friels as King Louis XIV, Gwen Plumb as Péronne and John Meillon in the role of Porthos. It was produced by Tim Brooke-Hunt and originally premiered on television. The Man in the Iron Mask is nowadays considered to be in the public domain.
