I am not religious at all, but I adore this film. Interestingly enough, I watched it in public school, in the late '80s. I don't think they'd get away with that anymore! I am so glad to have a place where I can share it with my young nephews.
I remember seeing this show when I was 9. I thought it was wonderful! Just out of curiosity I checked here at youtube to see if it was uploaded and i'm so glad it is. Now I'll share it with my family.
ABC aired this classic special in the early 1970s. Since this was more biblical than the ones people like Rankin/Bass would churn out, I recall it being shown on Sunday nights. I think it is one of the best animated Christmas specials ever and my older friends have as many fond memories of it as I do. Thank you very much for posting it!!!
My older sister has always talked about this cartoon. I'm so glad I found it. It is just a beautiful as she said it was. I really wish they would broadcast it on television for a new generation to enjoy.
I too have been trying to track this down for years. I seen it once as a child and have never seen it since. I was about 8 or so at the time. I even sat up on xmas eve waiting to see if my dog would talk, lol. Wishful thinking : )
I have been trying to track this down for years. I watched it as a kid. I had begun to think I must have dreamed it because it was never aired again. Great Christmas special! Thanks for posting it. Merry Christmas!

@rowleygrowl Yes. All my friends said that I was dreaming this special as well. It's weird to see it again.
