There is another version that starred Alastair Sim...

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?
