Terribly Sorry, will be clearer !! I'm after the video of "The Selfish Giant" Its an animated story about 45 mins long, Out of production on most sites!!

I tracked it down to this American site which was the cheapest at $11.99 - http://www.christianvideo.com/224/892.htm?944

Thanx for the Help Cetti, sorry, but that version is not the right one!! However, I think Iv'e answered my own question!! Its on a compilation titled " Readers Digest- Childrens Fairy Tales " available at Barnes & Nobles web site ( amongst others!!) However, I'm in the UK and can't play NTSC format, so, without spenging heaps of money, will have to wait for another format to arrive!! Thanx again for the ideas .... Dazz

I loved that animation! It was beautiful and used to reduce me to tears as a kid. Did you have any luck finding it?

[Dazz]

Years later eh!!!  Yes I did find it, albeit on NTSC video format from the USA, think it was from Barnes and Noble.com, also had the happy prince on the vid too, double bonus !!
