The Candlemaker Dvd 1957 A Review

This is a Christmas Cartoon that is not very good.

The film is set at Christmas time. The narrator starts out with:
Many years ago, before there were any automobiles and before we had electricity or even gas lighting and when people used horses if they wanted to go out for a ride and oil lamps and candles if they needed a light, there lived in a small country town, yes, a butcher, a baker, and a candlestick-maker. With just over a week to go before Christmas, the townspeople were busy indeed and none more so than the candle maker and his young son, Tom.
The animation is okay but the story is too preachy and its target audience of children will lose interest fast.
