Richard Williams' beautifully-executed animated adaptation of Charles Dickens' timeless seasonal parable, which to this day has yet to receive a DVD release anywhere. Produced by Richard Williams Animation and Chuck Jones for ABC. Winner of the 1972 Oscar for Best Animated Short Film. Sourced from a 16mm library print, it's unfortunately nowhere near the standard of 35mm : the sound is quite muffled in comparison to current YouTube uploads; but fortunately there's little print damage bar the vertical lines seen in the first few minutes.
