Wonderful Hidden Gem

Beautiful little animated feature that I was lucky enough to see on HBO during the early days of cable. It has a charm that most films with live actors lack. It's fun and the characters are wonderful. Why this was lost is beyond me. No VHS or DVD. Who is holding it up? Great family claymation film that is tame enough for the kids but adult enough for a few older laughs.
