Like above poster, I too have seen an 'updated' version of The selfish Giant, and was suitably disappointed. To think Uk TV show 'the snowman' every single year at Christmas, and yet, this Oscar Wilde classic is continually ignored..which is a great pity as it happens to be my favourite story of all time, and every time I actually READ the same story I cannot stop the tears from flowing. Everything about this 25 min. animation is 100% ...from the narration, to the muted pastel colours, I think Oscar would've been proud to see his beautiful work brought to the screen in splendid fashion. I cannot praise this story highly enough. Simply outstanding, and I challenge anyone to not be emotionally affected by this wonderful classic.
