Merry Christmas from David Copperfield

That's right-there is a 1993 Christmas movie that featured anthro animals as the characters from this classic novel! It is loosely based on Charles Dicken's book,eliminating some of the characters and adding more touches of fantasy as it was aimed at young children.  Plus with the voices as Julian Lennon as David and Sheena Easton as Agnes, it was a musical. As a animated movie for tv,the animation and story was not top notch,but still an interesting idea featuring the animals in 1850's Victorian outfits. Here is the video on You Tube-poor quality but still watchable~Merry Christmas to all!
