Here is a very nice seasonal cartoon from Derann which is on low fade stock and the colours are outstanding. The image is very sharp and the sound is very good throughout.
This copy is in very good order with only one minor light line, for much of the reel the film unmarked.
It isn’t Tom & Jerry by a long way nor is it meant to be but it is a very nice classic seasonal film now added to our collection.
Thank you to Barry of Indi 8 for this one.

Production notes from wiki,
This 8-minute animated interpretation of the Christmas poem preceded Gene Autry's 1949 song "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and the later more famous animated 1964 version by Rankin/Bass. It was based on Robert L. May's 1939 story, rather than the song. The 1964 special more closely resembles the song rather than the original story.
The short was created to advertise Montgomery Ward department stores, publisher of the original story. The original release included a credit for the company, and lacked the famous song, with the opening credits instead playing over an instrumental version of "Silent Night, Holy Night". A 1951 re-release added a choral version of the song to the credits and removed the Montgomery Ward name.

Excellent Christmas short Tom,great colour. I think it’s nice to have a few seasonal films which in my case only get shown at Christmas .That way the film feels fresh even though I’ve seen them over and over.
Very nice find.

There was a copy on fleabay recently which caught my eye with a buy it now but it stated that parts of the sound stripe can be seen so it was a no for me, then this one came up on Barry's list.
I know you can zoom it out but if it's there, it's been striped wrong so it's a fault.

Added it as a review on S8D :-)
