 Rating: - A classic version of this beautiful taleI am struck by how, like me, many reviewers saw this when it was aired once in the 70s and it stuck with them 30+ years later. I managed to find this on VHS a few years ago at a local video store and was amazed at how well I had remembered it, including the beautiful song "Dreams Grow Older" that is played in the story.

It was run on TV in Canada along with 'The Happy Prince' and 'The Little Mermaid' -- all multi-tissues viewing for sure. I believe they were all made by the same animation studio. I did a search online and found out that Reader's Digest released all three films together on VHS, and they are still available if you search for them! They are narrated by Christopher Plummer (which sounds right to me). Let your fingers do the walking ...

The story itself is brilliant, but with the music, songs, animation and narration makes it a truly magical feeling inside you when viewed with friends and family.
