Reviews
Great cartoon
Remember seeing this on CBS Storybreak and I have to say it was more enjoyable then the book. The animation was amazing. The story was more light hearted and Mr. Elives was a much nicer person then his book counterpart. This show should not only be on the air so I could rewatch this episode, it should get more seasons as well.
