As the others have said, we here in western NC got to see this film often on the old Mister Bill Show on local station WLOS. It was part of a series of old Euro cartoons that were distributed to local TV stations with an English soundtrack.
It is a lovely film. The animation flows seamlessly. I grew up remembering this film fondly.
I have never seen this film anywhere else. The copy that WLOS showed on Thanksgiving Day is a video copy of the original film that ran on WLOS from 1958 to 1966. It shows its age, and lack of proper storage in the video transfer. Western NC folks were lucky to see this gem from our past. Hope to see it again one day.
