In Reply to: The best Christmas movie? posted by rico on December 1, 2007 at 09:24:45:
it was an amimated version, with Sim providing the voice of Scrooge. It played on network TV several times during the '70s, then disappeared. I believe this marked the last film appearance of Alastair Sim.
I long to see this again, because the drawing style was marvelous--rather sketchy and evocative of the Victorian era, like an etching or pen-and-ink. Also, many of the more fantastic parts of the book--Marley's ghost, for example, or the "two children" who appear from under the gown of the Ghost of Christmas to Come, were rendered in a much more "gruesome" manner than any of the live-action films. Much more in keeping with the spirit of the original, I thought.
Anyone remember this flick, know its title, or know if it's available on DVD?
