    A human family and a matching mouse family. This was shown on television every year. It has warm spirit, if you can get past the weird animation style.

Like so many of the greats, it was a made for TV Ch... read moreristmas special, and though it hasn't had the same lasting appeal as How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Rudolph, or Forsty, I think it belongs up there with them.
