Simply have to point this little gem out to ALL our fellow collectors.

I have this print already and have spoken on here about it in the past, but if there is one classic Christmas film you simply must have, it is this little gem.

They never ever come up on e bay, so go grab it while you can. If it is in unmarked condition, even at this price, it's a bargain based on current e bay prices for rare desirable LPP one reelers.

Look under "Various Cartoons". [Smile]

Also the "Red Fox" Lpp print of "Peace On Earth" is in there, not quite as hard to find as the above title, but again, you don't see it for sale too often especially in its original R.F.box!

I agree with Andrew. I have this film as well, (Little Match Girl). This reprint in on low fade stock, and is very sharp, much better than the original printings of it from years ago.

I have this as well. I got my print from Paul Foster as well and it is beautiful.
But I got another one off of Ebay which wasn't as good. It had a lot of vertical movement and the sound was really muffled. I sold that one so if you are not getting it from a reputable seller buyer beware! Its a great cartoon though and print quality is excellent. (Or should be!)

Mine is first class also Rik. I didn't know poor quality later versions on Lpp existed so thanks for the warning Rik. [Wink]

I think it must have been a lab printing error that was sent back and never destroyed.
There must be countless types of prints that should have been dumped but never were. I had a print of the full length "Fog" from Derann. It was printed soft and slightly out of focus. I sent it back to Derann, it was on their used lists, and purchased another one a few years later that was pin sharp and perfect! And I had a copy of the "Terminator" that had vertical movement every few frames as well.
