The Little Drummer Boy

Hey, hey, I was royally disappointed because I had memories of the earlier version with the voices of Jose Ferrer and Greer Garson. Alas, this although longer is far less satisfying. A large part of my disappointment was in never hearing a full rendition of the song. The animation in this Australian version is substandard with some of the good guys, especially in the case of one of the wise men, having "bad guy" expressions at times. The coloring was typical for cartoons and there was none of the classic look of the earlier version. The theme of the story certainly deserves a far better worked representation than this one turned out to offer.
