In the late 1970s, I first saw an animated version of Charles Dickens'
"A Christmas Carol" on Saturday morning TV in December. It appeared
again for a few years in a row in the early or mid 1990s, never to be
heard from again. The characters are drawn fairly acurately
proportionally, but move stiffly. Some of the backgrounds were very
detailed. Jacob Marley is depicted as a skeleton with grey flames
around his skull. That's about all I can say about it for sure, that
would distinguish it from other versions. I don't know anything for
sure about the name of any person who might have been involed, except
to say again that it is almost certainly NOT the Richard Williams
version. Except for Marley, I've seen similar characteristics in
other specials based on classic stories, and have been told these were
made in Australia. I've also been told "Kenner Classic Tales" is the
name of the series. If anyone is wondering why I'm asking about this
at this time of year, it is because I was cleaning out my Amazon
Wishlist and came across a VHS that I put on there years ago hoping to
be the movie I've been looking for. I searched the DVD titles and
found this:

It says Australia, but gives 1982 as the date. That could be the
release date for the first home video edition, for all I know. Does
anybody know if this is what I'm looking for.
