Countdown to Christmas: The Candlemaker (1957)

The husband & wife team of John Halas & Joy Batchelor worked on some Popeye shorts in the early 60's, and also assisted Format Films with the production of the first Lone Ranger animated series (1966-9). The angular character designs from that series are also evident in this 1957 entry, "The Candlemaker", produced for Cathedral Films. Aside from Christian channels or even the Catholic-centric Eternal Word channel, I don't think this has seen the light of day in the US other than on YouTube.



Now you know why pets don't go to church.

Rating: B.
