I have watched this movie once as a kid,some where between 1973 and 1974. I would like to see it again but it seem to have faded away from the Christmas television list. Most of the other old time favorites are still on television during the Christmas season, but what ever happened to "The Night the Animals Talk." I have only seem it once and would like to someday see it again. I really enjoyed watching it in the seventies and most definitely would like to see it on television again. Why do we allow good things to slip away? "The Grench who stole Christmas" has been around for years and it also is one of my favorites. Another one of my favorite is, " A Christmas story." These movies I feel are classics and should alway be around for our kids,kids to view. "The Night the Animals Talk" was a movie that would leave one wishing that they would have talked long enough to finish the message. But as I remember they stop talking right before the animal could get it out that a miracle had happened. I feel this is one of the best Christmas movie and it hasn't gotten the props required to make it a house hold Christmas viewing. This movie ends making one wanting to see it again, hoping the animal could get the message out.Anthony

cant remember much about this cartoon but i know its stuck with me ever since i saw it in the seventies, every Christmas when the holiday TV books come out the first thing i do is to look to see if any of the channels are showing this, as usual there not, this should be shown every Christmas , like the wizard of oz is, the Christmas cartoons they show now are rubbish compared to the seventies ones, another great Christmas cartoon thats just recently come out on DVD is Santa clause and the bears anyone remember that, so there could be hope of getting the night the animals talked on DVD that would be one great Christmas present, anyone know what studio made this maybe if we all bombard them with messages they might have it released, would be worth a try anyway, lets hope it comes out soon and start to get back to the traditional Christmas cartoons about the birth of Christ etc

I've been looking for a copy of this for years! I vividly remember seeing it on TV among all the other Christmas specials(must have been about seven years old at the time), and to this day can recall certain scenes. I remember my sister and I watching avidly, and crying because we were so touched by the animals' plight as they tried to share good news. Over the years, I've searched the net.... have even rung TV stations to see if they had any details about it in their archives. This site is the first time I've tracked down any useful information. It would bring back a lot of happy memories if I could ever secure a copy of this film to watch with my family. A true little gem - considering how much junk is displayed on TV at this (and every other!) time of year, it's a great pity that this has never been shown again on Australian television.

this film is terrific and should be shown every christmas, just as rudolph the red nose reindeer is. it is just as good. why have i never seen a rerun of it? . it is terrific and if it were real life would be better if animals did talk.
