The Small One part 1

[Ball122Fluff]

Im emotional when it comes to this movie also 

[Ball122Fluff]

this movie made me cry as a kid so i threw the DVD out :(

[donkeylongears]

I don't hate it, I just don't care for it

[18haylo]

Wait, if you hate it so much, why did you even upload it in the first place?

[408Zion]

i dont wish you a merry chistmas!!!!and abad new year!!!!

[gingerlee190]

I used to watch this all the time when I was a kid. It makes me SUPER happy to see other people love it as much as I do! Me and my sisters always sing "clink clink, clank clank, get the money to the bank."

[cstoczyn]

HUZZAH!!!!

[cstoczyn]

FTW

[cstoczyn]

OMG!

[cstoczyn]

LOL

[cstoczyn]

Long Live Santa Claus!!!!

[cstoczyn]

HO-HO-HO!!!!

[cstoczyn]

Happy Holidays!!!!

[cstoczyn]

Merry Christmas!!!!

[1heartbeatdance]

this message of this video is great for children at christmas, they need to do this in dvd for the next generation.

[Stellasmile456]

I always remember watching a cartoon about a donkey at christmas, am glad to have finally tracked it down!

[ceitiosaurus]

That settles is then, I'm gonna be an animator just like Don.

[Cynnbadd25]

i used to have this on album when i was a kid. i was prolly 3 or 4 years old! ^_^

[DJGONIG]

It brings tears to my eyes watching this film.My childhood faves too.Thanks for uploading this I will enjoy this very much.I will never forget this movie lol.

[andrewvickers1992]

Don Bluth directed the film, and this was before Secret of NIMH

[donkeylongears]

@andrewvickers1992 Sure show's how a guy can improve in a few years

[selkie319]

He directed it before he left Disney. Once he was on his own, he had far more creative control.

[mrdropkicker1]

@selkie319 but you have to admit, you can definitely see his style in this one.

[cstoczyn]

@andrewvickers1992 Long Live Don Bluth!!!!

[SNGarza]

Thank you so much for putting this up!!! It's one of my childhood faves!!

[mrmojoman4]

5:46 Hey, look! It's a panting jackass with a faggot on top of him!

8D

(check your definitions before you thumb this down)

[razorbacksfan85]

Wow I remember Losing this VHS when I was little and I could never find t. I randomly tonight thought about it. All I could remember was a boy and a donkey... So glad I tracked his down! Thanks for uploading

[donkeylongears]

@XxRainbowPeacexX I feel sorry for everyone involved

[MrBuckmaster69able]

I have the book The Small One.

[cyanidemaiden]

The kid looks like Mowgli

[Demeterkitty]

Bluth did do some scenes in The Fox in the hound, in particular the cow milking scene. He had his name removed from the production.

[LiimLsan]

@Demeterkitty I know that John Pomeroy did a lot of scenes of Amos Slade, in particular 'And this time i won't miss', but I'm still searching for what in that film, Gary Goldman did. I THINK they gave him the Badger, but i'm not particularly sure. (the badger looks like a bluth design, but moves like some of Gary's animation for Banjo.)

[xxxcoolchickxxxxx]

That's a way to tell your son you're selling his favorite pet!!!!

[PieFights]

This marks one of the last Disney Cartoons that Don Bluth works on before he open his own studio

[downhomesunset]

@PieFights Actually he worked on The Fox And The Hound-It might have been uncredited....

[PieFights]

@downhomesunset woops sorry my mistake 

[Artprincess247]

anyone else think the boy looks just like mogli from the jungle book?

[doobiesmoke15]

@Artprincess247 A bit lighter skinned though.

[Artprincess247]

@doobiesmoke15 yeh, but still similar

[silverraven360]

they shoul've named him ugly one

[donkeylongears]

@silverraven360 I agree

[cstoczyn]

@donkeylongears Me 2

[PrincessSybilla77]

@silverraven360 Oh that's just mean. He is pretty cute for a donkey

[FeliDJrah]

" Small One, One don't look so blue. Somewhere a friend is waiting for you. Someone still needs you to brighten his day. There's a place for each some one. God planned it that way." :'( I always shed a tear for that song.

[danielnike98]

i get you called him justin bieber. the donkey has the type of hair

[danielnike98]

yeah your right at least he played an important role

[TheSolid119]

My favorite movie as a child !! thank you for bringing all the memories !!! :) :)

[MegaAdam1000]

My childhood is back. :'D

[danielnike98]

its kinda sad at the end when he had to sell him

[shadowfox1383]

@danielnike98 But the donkey played an important role in this story.....

[themangakawolf]

i was looking for the original land before time movie and i find this.....i watching this first!

[Manbi]

Anyone here remember "White Camel"? Animated film. Came out in the early 90s. It's about The Three Maji. Been trying to find a copy for years but no luck. It's really good.

[ismoketampons]

I still have this movie on Beta. lol..

cant watch it, no beta player, but nice to see it here.

[roomvid09]

One of my all time favorite cartoons!!! I still love it!!!

[67nairb]

This was filmed in rotoscope.

[67nairb]

What year was this produced?

[acholl980]

@67nairb 1978

[SamhainTheDark]

How often does this happen? A video cut up into three parts because of youtube's time limit, but the first part ends at the right moment.

[bubusx]

Awww last time i saw that was in an old VHS, i was like 9 or 10, i didn't understand english by that time hehe, but i liked this cartoon, aww, now i understand that small one was old, and the dad cannot afford it, aww, btw im 25 now hehehe.

[Hydargos27]

C'est un beau dessin animé

[muntasir20]

what year was this made i remember watching this as a kid but i cant remember when it was

[crazy4anime2]

This show can always make me cry :')

[Farfeb]

U know, the boy reminds me of Mowgli from the Jungle Book.

[pakistansthebest]

@Farfeb I agree XD

[MrsCamui]

I'd almost forgotten about this. I haven't seen it since I was a little girl.

[MaikuxSAN]

Am I the only one who thinks the song "Friendly Face" sounds like "Flying Dreams" from Secret of NIMH?

[justalittlebookworm]

it'd be a lie if i said i wasn't tearing up...

[Serena2009ification]

@justalittlebookworm

It ALWAYS makes me cry, every single time, and I've been waching it every Christmas for 20+ years. ;__;

[JopoMiniMovies]

Remember this on VCR,

[ilektra88]

oh my god!!!!!i can't beleive that!!!!!!!!!i was 8-9 years old and now i'm 23!!!!thank u thank u thank u!!!!! small oneeeeeee small oneeeeeee!!!!!nice :D

[RoyalZSpencer]

@ilektra88 i agree i loved this movie

[mike42086]

This movie brings back great memories from my childhood.I have to say though it was better when i believed in god.

[MovieMusicBoy]

Who knew that Don Bluth also is a great songwriter!? I LOVE the "Small One"-song, ever since I was probaply...3 or something! Now, I'm 24 and proud to have grown up with Bluths films!

Btw, does children watch Bluths movies now these days?

[AstralDragoon]

@MovieMusicBoy I'm not sure. You don't often see them for sale in the stores and everything, and I don't watch TV, so I don't know if they get "re-run".  I wish they would, though; Don Bluth made some great movies.

[DimeraFan28]

This Is One Cute Movie.

[Edwinvancleef100]

I have a hard time getting rid of my jackass to.

[donkeylongears]

@Edwinvancleef100 LOL

[LionKingRulezAgain1]

@Edwinvancleef100 damn it you beat me to the joke

[mslaurajaykay]

Thanks for posting this. I love this cartoon. I especially love that it has to do with Jesus.

[SummerSunshine1988]

I used to love this cartoon as a kid.

[MsDeathKitty666]

arrrgggg dont make me watch this nooooo so sad

[lanabstar]

I cry just describing this cartoon to people. I cried just watching the credits right now! I have no idea why, but this cartoon reduces me to tears INSTANTLY. I used to watch it every holiday season when I was a kid, and sob the whole way through it of course. Twenty years later and I'm no different.

[DConS81]

@lanabstar

That's Don Bluth for ya'...the man always said that kids can handle sad things as long as there's a happy ending

[tallgirl15]

@DConS81 Kind of like the Land Before Time. It was SO sad when Little Foot's mom died, but I love the ending so much. Love the movie ^_^

[Serena2009ification]

@tallgirl15

Aww, that's awesome. I love that movie a lot, too. 

[Serena2009ification]

@DConS81

I agree with Don Bluth. In fact, I think children frequently grow up with more wisdom if they see those kinds of stories.

[67nairb]

@Serena2009ification Strange, I've never seen this cartoon movie before or even seen it for that matter.

[zcapwb1]

@67nairb seen seen seen seen seen

[Serena2009ification]

@lanabstar

Me, too! It's such a beautiful story.

[DimeraFan28]

lol, that look on that donkey's face when that boy's dad told his son that the donkey's going to be sold is so funny, lol, omg, lamo.

[Mr100dragon100]

that story all ways make mr cry

[skinnyminny25]

soooo cute

[ElyssaNicole137]

Oh my goosness, I just almost cried when I foudn this and started watching it. It was my absolute favorite when i was a little girl. Thank you so much for putting this up!!!

[527tommyboy]

I read small one on the disney book when i was like 10 or 9 years old and i thought it was the girl. NO!!!! HE'S THE BOY!!!!!!! but cute.

[donkeylongears]

@527tommyboy He's Justin Beiber. LOL

[DimeraFan28]

2 months and 78 dsys till christmas.

[suxie]

OMG! I just cried as soon as I found this!!! it's been 20 years since I last saw it!!! Thank you!!! words cannot express how happy I am right now =)!!!

[DefconWarningSystem]

Is it true they edited the song the merchants sing because they thought it was an offensive stereotype? (The older VHS version has the full song, but I understand the DVD release has an edited version.)

[BentivoglioIII]

thank you so much for tthis splendid memory of my childhood.greetings from italy

[sirathedragon]

m-my childhood..... this is a part of my childhood...O_O I was 4 sinse I last saw this (and I am 14 now) I am crying *sniff* I had this on vhs...but I truly lost it, thank you so much for uploading!

[kikikyami]

what a adorable little cartoon :)

I just found out about it today, its just lovely.

Btw, does anybody else think that the boy looks exactly like Mowgli from junglebook?

[bannedbyMusloons]

The lyrics of the opening tune alone are haunting, a true small Disney gem indeed.

[BethGoth15]

This is a forgotten little gem. I used to watch it every year at Christmas but unfortunately, Disney doesn't show it anymore. There was actually time in my life I thought this was just part of my imagination because I couldn't find any trace of it on Google.

[abbielovesoasis]

@BethGoth15 i had the video ...and thn my brother decided to smash it on the banister X(

[BethGoth15]

@abbielovesoasis Hope you punched him for that :P

[abbielovesoasis]

@BethGoth15 i did because he also smashed banjo the woodpile cat and this other video about a cat tht wears a suit and does like performances with all these other animals...what is tht called.....i forget but ye i hit him over the head with my guitar , whih he deserved

[AstralDragoon]

@abbielovesoasis You mean your brother smashed a copy of Cats Don't Dance? Sheesh! That's not easy to come by these days. I was lucky to find my copy in a DVD store right before it went out of business. And he smashed Banjo, too? Why did he do this?

[abbielovesoasis]

@AstralDragoon i bin tryin to remeber the name for ages! he did it coz hes a wingey little basterd he does stuf like tht sometimes tbh

[AstralDragoon]

@abbielovesoasis Well, that sucks. Hopefully a place like eBay can yield a replacement if you want it back. If not, I know that at one point, Cats Don't Dance was uploaded on YouTube (that's how I found it in the first place).

[abbielovesoasis]

@AstralDragoon hmm i dnt have any money aha but ye the whole things up yay XD and banjo im guna have a busy couple of days ahah

[AstralDragoon]

@abbielovesoasis I hear you. I only recently rediscovered classic animation through Balto and The Secret of NIMH, and since then, I've happily snapped up several works of art that I had known from the latter years. Cats Don't Dance was an odd find; I had never given it a second glance because I thought it would be a cheap thing like The Country Bears or something. But when I randomly saw it here, I decided to give it a chance, and thank goodness; now it's one of my favorites.

[abbielovesoasis]

@AstralDragoon you should watch this one i cant quite rember what its called something like abigail the mouse or something it so cute XD

[AstralDragoon]

@abbielovesoasis There is a mouse called Abigail in the film "Once Upon A Forest", which I own. Is that the one? If so, I thought it was a very good movie (the only one I bought without having seen it first).

[abbielovesoasis]

@AstralDragoon thtl be the one i used to watch tht all the time :P

[AstralDragoon]

@abbielovesoasis I had never heard of it until not long ago, when some people were commenting on it in a video. One thing that struck me about Once Upon A Forest and The Secret of NIMH was their profound sadness.  As a kid, I never understood the darkness and emotions of those films, so rewatching them had a profound effect on me. The Fox and the Hound had a similar effect when I first returned to it.

[CaptainConnorsaurus]

ok so this was a don bluth movie produced by buena vista, a disney company? this must have been before he left disney then.....

[AstralDragoon]

@CaptainConnorsaurus Don Bluth left Disney just before the '80's, if I remember correctly. A featurette in the Banjo the Woodpile Cat DVD said the last project Disney was working on before he left was The Fox and The Hound.

[HlysComment]

I remember watching this when I was a kid. The boy does kind of look like Mowgli but he sounds like Pete from Pete's Dragon to me.

It's an awesome movie. Is it out on DVD?

[HarmonyStar18]

I loved this movie when I was little. I"m 23 now and I still watch it every year. Its such a beautiful story. Its shows that with friendship, loyalty, and love even the smallest donkey can do anything.

[InactivCillpill]

ahhh Don Bluth before the 90's just pure art

[itsmechelsey]

i think small one looks like a cross between rabbit from winnie the pooh and little foot from the first land before time X3

[DaisyDutches]

I had always considered this disney. I did not relize it was by the same people that did the American Tail with Fival! I love older disney. Its sad what they have become for the most part. And that videos deamed for children are overly simplified and shallow. We dont need that. I wish childrens movies where like they where when I was young. Thumbs up if you like older Disney Vs recent Disney!

[killerbee2k]

@DaisyDutches hey man, u should check up on Don Bluth who was the director for this movie, land before time, all dogs go to heaven and NIMH, American tail and stuff isnt Disney though its like the old disney movies. My younger siblings never watch the Disney channel since it doesnt have any classical disney, only low quality sitcoms. Nice post, I completely agree

[DaisyDutches]

@killerbee2k Yup. I grew up on all of that. My 4 year old niece likes the Troll in Central Park. She loves to help me in my garden because of it and says she has a green thumb like Stanley. Quality knows no time or age. The kids from today enjoy the same things that kids from my day did.

[DaisyDutches]

@killerbee2k Thats why the 80s toys saw a remake. I feel blessed to have grown up where Disney put up Christian Christmas shows, not just Christmas-themed specials. All I can say, is cling to it and show your kids what you love. They might just like it too.

[Cran64]

childhood memory :) nuff said

[welshyrocksursox]

OMG I sooooo remember this! and ive been looking for it for so long, brings back so many happy memories from my childhood :(

[PraiseDivineMercy]

When fishes flew and forests walked And figs grew upon thorn, Some moment when the moon was blood Then surely I was born; With monstrous head and sickening cry And ears like errant wings, The devil's walking parody On all four-footed things. The tattered outlaw of the earth, Of ancient crooked will; Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb, I keep my secret still. Fools! For I also had my hour; One far fierce hour and sweet: There was a shout about my ears, And palms before my feet.

[VanillaPink13]

in fact as a child I never had a chance to watch this movie. I had a cassete of another Disney-movie including a trailer of this one. and I always wanted to watch it, but I couldn't find it. I'm glad to see, that people like you share this with others on youtube. Thank you so much! You fullfilled one of my childhood-wishes :)

[devuurheer]

i used to watch this as a kid too glad i found something of it

i thought i had dreamed it all : )

but we had dit in dutch .... o wel gues you cant always get what you want

[KimikoKatori]

The little boy kinda reminds me of Mowgli from the Jungle Book.

[rafflesia]

Yeah, that was my first thought. Definitely looks like Mowgli.

[gibsoncatriona]

I remeber this from my childhood, i've been lookin for it for years, thanks for postin it. Made me cry then and still does now. god bless disney n don bluth

[gibsoncatriona]

Oh my god i've been looking for this movies for years i used to watch this when i was a kid made me cry then and still does now. Tahnks for puutin this one.xxxxx

[mustang14ify]

I remember this from when I was a kid. Ah. Great! I am crying. Thank you so much. I love this movie. I especially love how it ends with Mary and Joseph.

[hiswork2009]

CLASSIC this is what Disney needs to get back to! i miss these cartoons, especially the ones with a good message like this one. This is a very rare toon. last time i watched this i was 4. thanks for posting it.

[Dancerfromheaven1993]

so sweet and thoughtful, I loved it !

[villeppi]

Wow :D I really pissed off some people. No wonder. I bashed christianity. If you cared to use your brain you would realize I'm right. The christian implications ruin this story. The christian story of blood sacrifice is a sick and twisted tale.

[villeppi]

And your point was?

[harrylime3rdman]

Beautiful!

[villeppi]

This is a very sweet animation but the christian implications kinda ruin it for me.

[Furienna]

What the heck? You say this beautiful tear-jerker is ruined by a short glimpse of Joseph and Mary at the end? Overreaction much?

[villeppi]

It's not a short glimpse. It's the ending. Ending is the most important part of a story.

[Furienna]

It still is just a short glimpse. Mary never even speaks, and she's only seen in a silhuette.

And what's up with the five thumbs down on my last comment? You really think this movie is ruined by the ending? No? Then why do you give me thumbs down?

[villeppi]

You are a true retard, arent you. The ending defines the whole story. It can't be seperated from the rest of the animation. It doesn't matter how short or long it is or how much exposure Mary gets. Those are totally irrelevant remarks.

[Furienna]

The point is, I don't think the religious ending ruined the entire featurette.

[NasirellieSpice]

Thanks so much for upload!!))))

[NeoMikey]

WHOO!! Don Bluth!! :DDDD

[Disneyfan82]

I never knew the boy was voiced by Sean Marshall until I looked up the information. And I have to agree that Small One does look like Elliot. I love Pete's Dragon and I love this cartoon, even though it is happy and sad at the same time.

[tallgirl15]

@Disneyfan82 And it has such a nice ending ^_^

[Serena2009ification]

@tallgirl15

Yes, it does. ^__^

[78michaeljackson]

I recently discovered this beautiful story on my DVD... I loved this story.. Sean was a great actor and he did a great job.. Too bad he gave up the biz soon after Pete's Dragon.. Both things he appeared in are really good...

[Treemeadow]

@78michaeljackson He was also in a film called "Heidi, the New Adventures"

[78michaeljackson]

REALLY??? Is that on DVD???

[Treemeadow]

@78michaeljackson

I have no idea, but parts of it are on Youtube.

I have it taped off TV

[crazy4mickey]

disney always gets ya all the time. sniff...sniff

[autoxkimmy]

I LOVE this movie! I just searched forever to find it ;)

[GurgiONE]

small one, small one, don't look so blue

somewhere a friend, is waiting for you

someone still needs you to brighten his day

there's a place for each small one. God planned it that way

time is passing, days are view

give while you can, to one smaller than you

all things living, great and small

each brings a gift that is needed by all

small one small one, don't look so blue

....

[Verviness]

*days are few

[TheRadioAteMyTV]

Does anyone else think this song sounds a whole lot like Belle's song "Stories" from the Enchanted Christmas movie?

[vii4u]

can someone write down the opening song's lyric ?

[ShanaC82]

This was one of my favorite cartoons at Christmas when I was growing up as a kid.

[T2Terminator]

Is it just me, or does the small one kinda look like the baby from Eraserhead?

[davidh0117]

this is never shown at christmas out here in england on tv. it should be cos it is such a lovely cartoon and my whole family loved it the first time we saw it. it brings me too tears

[golddemona]

The voice of the boy sounds just like Pete in Pete's Dragon.

Was it the same boy?

[amypete82]

Yes, it is...my daighter is now obsessed w/ Pete's Dragon.

[golddemona]

That's really funny cuz Don Bluth directed the animation in that movie as well. =3
