The Stingiest Man in Town (1978)
Directed by Jules Bass, Arthur Rankin, Jr.
Overview
This cartoon version of A Christmas Carol hails from the production house of Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass—the team that brought you just about every other Christmas special you saw as a kid (including Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer). Reinvented as a 49-minute musical ghost story, it stars the voice of Walter Matthau as the bedeviled Scrooge and Tom Bosley as the Jiminy Cricket-type narrator, B. Humbug, Esq.
Length 50 minutes
