I remember cutting short a picnic with some friends so I could get home in time to see this film at Easter 1980 (or was it '81, my how time flies). It gave me the same feeling I had when I first read the book. The English voices were excellently cast and whenever I read the book it is their voices I here in my head. Strange why they left out Farther Christmas and changed the name of Maugrim the wolf to Fenris Ulf (do all films have to deviate from their books for no apparent reason?)
The animation may be simplistic (especially by todays computer aided standards) but the story is so well told that it doesn't need the fancy graphics ladled on it.
A must see by anyone who has just read the books and wants to see it on screen (actually I have an hour to spare, I think I'll go watch it now).
